My latest project is an oscillating edge sander

I have been working on building an oscillating edge sander and have made good progress. It has a 3" x 80" belt. It will also have a drum sander as part of the drive motor. It will have a .625 stroke at 30 oscillation per minute. I will post more pictures as I progress.

Looks like it will be a beast.

Nice work on the tracking and tensioning mechanism. I don't see a provision for oscillation yet, how are you planning to set that up? Is this all running off one motor or is the oscillation going to be be separate?

Here are some additional pictures. I am ready to take apart and paint.
