What exactly does a belt sander do??



Does the jigsaw work pretty well??

We use the belt sander to smooth every cut - remove sharp edges - even some rounding over, etc. If steel axles get burrs or marks they can be easily sanded away.

The jigsaw is great for rough cuts. We always take one with us to competition. We have a nice Bosch saw at our main build site - but I bought a cheap one at Harbor Freight that works great too.
