Production Chamfering
Oct 25, 2005
This setup helps you quickly sand an even chamfer on small parts. Build a trough with a slit in its bottom and position the trough straddling an inverted belt sander clamped in your workbench vise. The amount of chamfer is adjusted by raising or lowering the sander. Two words of caution: Don’t obstruct the belt sander’s ventilation opening when clamping the sander in the vise, and don’t overtighten, lest you crack or distort the sander.
