Dust Hood for RIGID Belt Sander

Cool, I have one of those sanders and the dust collection is not great. I will have to put this on my list to make. Thanks for sharing.

Kevin great idea, my brother has that spindle sander. I’ll make sure he sees your post.

Kevin, I also have this exact sander and this looks like a great addition to it! Already added to my favorites. This will be a future project for me. Thanks for the post!

I don’t have the sander yet but it is on my to buy list. When I do get it though this mod is one of the first things to do to it.

Thanks for sharing

I really like that clamp you made out of wood. I must use that on several projects I am thinking of. Thank you.

Thanks… I have this Rigid sander and this looks like a nice ‘upgrade’ for it.

This is a definite favorite to build, thanks for the idea. This sander has become a tool used on almost anything I build.

Nice.
Dust collection on that machine could really be improved, and looks like you did it.
Good job.

Great idea Kevin!
One of those will have to go on the shop project list.
This is the type of dust collection hood that the manufacturer should have installed originally.

Thanks a bunch.
