 I have to change the belt on my sander, so I thought I would tell you guys a little bit about my sander Show you how I'm going to change the belt and tell you why I love this thing so much This thing has been a lifesaver we started out with a hand sander just a block just a block And then we got we got an electric sander one of those little square mini jams and that took forever to do Anything always and nothing was even or uniform it would dip and wave Sometimes it's useful. Sometimes you need that little orbital sander just used it yesterday. Yes, she did But sometimes when you're doing big items, yeah, or you're really trying to take down a lot of wood shave something down Round something off. You're gonna need something a little more beefy and stable to do that type of work This is our Ryobi sander. It's a 4.3 amp sander. It's 36 inch by 4 inches wide belt Six inch disc on it. It comes with 80 grit on both and today it's time to change them It's got a max belt sanding speed of 3500 rpms, and it's got a disc max spinning speed 1900 rpms this thing is pretty substantial. It's like 50 something pound the bottom is iron Top has some plastic pieces the little stand for the disc sander is is aluminum this piece is plastic I mainly use this disc for taking things down or rounding edges off I try to get straight edges with this or large flat surfaces pretty cool applications on that 45 or the piece of trim And just stand here just like that So to change the pad you're gonna need an allen key allen wrench allen a guy named allen won't work You will not fit in the hole You unlock this bolt back here You stand it up You could stand it up and work on it on a surface like this. I haven't done it yet. It looks like it'd be easy We're just changing the belt right now. It's my first time changing the belt. You guys are doing it with me But I forget to mention the big hole that my shop back hooks directly up to and I don't have to modify it Modify a Gatorade bottle and duct tape. It's great. It's virtually dust Yeah, you see my Craig Jig Jig video you'll see that out of modify a Gatorade bottle from my shop Should be a lever around here somewhere attention lever Comes right up it came with the 80. This was okay. This lasted a few weeks. I'm gonna say this belt lasted At least three pieces furniture three pieces or maybe four got a new belt Again sticking with the 80 by directional flush joint runs smoothly in both directions. Oh, this is a super fancy belt Super smooth in both directions. All right, that's it lower the tension arm Make sure it's nice and even yes, it says it's spring loaded pretty tight. Is that right? All right spring loaded now. I never do anything on an angle like this. I'm gonna lower it down again Now I'm gonna turn it on and I'm gonna watch to see where the placement is on the pad here It'll shift one way or the other one direction or the other Although I don't know any one direction songs and then you'll use this knob here to center it It's gonna tilt one way or the other this creates more and less tension kind of looks the belt ride in the middle So let's turn it on see what we got. That was pretty dead center I just tweaked it a little bit a scooch when I first took it out of the box I put this on again. I only had to tighten it just a little skewed. I played with it for 30 seconds. Good to go We need to change the pad look at that thing All right, so this is sticky pad. We're gonna remove the little table that it comes with We did some cornhole boards and we had to round the tops of the legs so that they would swivel and we did Virtually no cutting. I did all the rounding with this disc. I love it. It was amazing How it just Completely rounded those corners and made it a complete art. It's a sticky pad So it's my job Garrett looks away for a half a second and I will put it away I will put it away in a blink of an eye I probably put it away You gotta remove a screw. I forgot Is it sticky or is it velcro? Oh sticky. That is some serious sticky. Oh shibs Shibs All right, it's supposed to be dust and debris free. We got these gator discs gator again We went with 80. 80 is the standard. This doesn't seem as sticky Put the little table back on Change the pads. You guys want to see how we're happy to have a piece of scrap wood. You're playing on rounding this corner off Not our seconds. Not our seconds. We'll show you how we'll get the long side also I guess can't see it too. Well, but you can see how it shaved it down Another tool that I love another tool that I can't live without my Ryobi tabletop Santa, I love this thing. So what's your favorite tool?
