Looks like they get belts from powerer jobs like these
That table is adjustable. I'm thinking it would be a great little sander for a mini-lathe, sharpening the HSS bits or drill bits. Other duties.
And, being a gunnie, I think of how quickly that thing could ruin gun parts. Prolly faster than a Dremel even.
Seriously, in some gunsmith applications it would be great. Don't go nuts with precision stuff, no. And I am having a hard time thinking of an application this belt sander would do that a regular belt sander could not. If your shop has no room for something bigger, this might be a way to go.

The tool shown in the 1st picture is so handy you'll find all kinds of uses.
Sanding belts cut faster than dual action sanders which cut faster than hand sanding. Therefore, I step up to a finer grit when used on power tools. (EX: 100 by hand = 180 by power tool.)
Also, save the old, worn belts. They still are abrasive so can be used where aggressive sanding is not wanted. I have belts so worn that they are nearly polishing rather than sanding but are still useful. And, if a belt rips across the width, use duct tape applied to the inside as a backing. For best performance, use a piece of tape slightly longer than equal to the length of the sanding belt. This is because the tape sticks to itself better than to the belt which is made of fabric.
