===Description===
A belt sander is a sander used in shaping and finishing wood and other materials.
===Safety Rules===
In Addition to the [[zones:shop safety rules]] the following safety rules should be followed:
  * Always sand on the downward motion side of the disc/belt. Never the upward motion side as this can throw your part upwards with tremendous force. 
  * Always attempt to place your work against the rest on the disc and belt sanders and hold the work securely. 
  * When using the horizontal belt sander, always sand so that the belt motion is away from you. 
  * Do not operate machines with torn or ripped belts or disks. 
  * Always sand on the down travel side of the disc / belt. 
  * The rest should be adjusted so that it is no more than 1/8” from the disc. 
  * Make adjustments only when the sander is at a complete stop. 
  * Keep fingers away from the abrasive surface on the sander. 
  * Avoid pressure against the disc. Feed stock into the abrasive material at a moderate rate of feed and pressure. 
  * Stock that is 1” or smaller in length should not be sanded. 
  * Use the disc sander for sanding outside curves or angles only. 
  * The disc sander is NOT to be used for joinery, squaring stock, etc. 
  * Any disc that is dull or loose should be repaired or replaced immediately.
