Down To The Hand Sanding Stage

Since I don't have a grinding jig or a 10" disk sander and being that the stock is unfinished I decided to grind the pad on the stock. I used the belt sander down to about the last 1/8" and I am finishing it with a sanding block.

At first I thought that I had a major mess when the black dust started going all over the place but it doesn't seem to stick to anything and is heavy enough to fall to the floor and not drift around. It is easy to clean up with the shop vac.

 

I was also surprised that the belt doesn't seem to wear any while grinding these.
