The current Ace of the Belt Sander is Needed (Makerhub@georgefox.edu).

The belt sander is good for sanding large, flat workpieces. This is a tool that can greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to finish a project, but it can be difficult to master. Depending on the speed at which it is ran and the coarseness of the sanding belt used, this tool can remove material very quickly. This tool is best used for rough passes, and is not recommended for finely detailed or delicate work.
