Bending up a catch pan for my 6x48 belt sander

Here is a short video of a quick project I did. I needed a way to collect all the grinding dust from my belt sander so I came up with this pan. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

A nice and practical project for your shop... under the watchful supervision of Mr Kaos, of course.

Great job. I love getting those little projects done.

Thanks Todd. Me too. 🙂

Made a change seeing some press brake work. Good tip working around the finger widths. Works well with the magnets. Cheers Tony

Good use of scrap . A friend dropped me of a similar thing to make one for the shaper . Cheers 👍

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

You will like a chip pan on your shaper. Makes quick work of a clean up that is for sure.

Hi Tom, nice job on the catch pan. Handy metal break and shear Love that log burner. I could feel the heat from here. Collected something form my workshop at 9am this morning and it was only 3*c in there. Roll on the spring. Happy New Year to you and the family. Cheers Nobby

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Hey Nobby good to hear from you. That’s a bit chilly in your workshop I would say.

[@DCT_Aaron_Engineering]

Nice one Tom 👍
Was good chatting with you today too. Cheers 🍻

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Thanks Aaron and it was nice to catch up. That weather you have is making me jealous.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

That reminds me, I need to make one for my Evolution chop saw. Nice job Tom, I like the fact that you used scrap!

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Hah! I hope I did not use up your cousin. 🤣

Nice little project. Hope you have a blessed 2024

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Thanks Steve. Just hanging out now waiting on the blizzard. 😀

[@firehousecustomfab3286]

@@hilltopmachineworks2131 I don't think we stand a chance of any snow, just a bunch of rain. We got hit hard last week. Y'all be safe

[@TheAyrCaveShop]

Added bonus using scrap materials, project is pre painted 👍👍
ATB....

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Howdy Dean. Yeah I did not even plan it that way, but that is a bonus.

[@MyLilMule]

I need to do something like that for mine. You might just epoxy those magnets to the tray.

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Good idea. 👍

[@bearsrodshop7067]

At times I am sorry I sold off my Pexto E55 flat bar break, but have more real-estate floor space now. Shop project are always good when slow. Batten dw the hatches, it's an artic blast that will make Kayso even want to stay in the house with the other pets for sure. 9 deg forcasted here by Tuesday morning,,,,,burrrr! Bear.

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

We got some snow last night and it stuck around today because the temps stayed in the 20's.

[@JohnBare747]

My kingdom for a Punch Press.

[@machinenutdel6764]

Careful with that punch Tom, or you'll have some nuts to roast by your fire !

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Thankfully no nuts were harmed in making of the video. 😋

[@jimpritz4169]

Good project Tom that grinder dust ends up everywhere. You don't want Mr Khaos getting that on his paws and tracking it on the wife's carpet or you'll be in the doghouse. Thanks for the video.

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Good point. Happy wife happy life. 🙂

[@DudleyToolwright]

I don't do any sheet metal work. No room for the tools.

[@bcbloc02]

Chaos wondering why you talk so much to yourself when you could be throwing his toy! lol

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Ain't that the truth! 😄

[@wallbawden5511]

Nice job first up get some shop jobs out way

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Thanks.

[@MatthewScott]

You bent that in the wrong order. Should of done the little flaps first. I'd of just open corner welded the box together but I'm a metal fabricator by trade.

[@JourneymanRandy]

It must be nice having the tools you need. 2024 will be better for many of us. 🔧⚒️🔩

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Hey there Randy. It is nice to have a well equipped shop. Makes projects way more enjoyable.
