    This thread is a good idea.
    My first tools when I graduated aviation were from my dad. Proto open end offset wrenches were in that kit, I still own those thin tuff bastards. And miss that less thin, equally tuff bastard I called my dad...he too loved Proto,, and Craftsman.
    Now as to the topic. I built this just for razors. Currently running 2"x30" belts in a variety of grits above 400.

    While I could buy a belt sander, I wanted variable speed, and different interchangeable radius wheels for the front. I mounted an adjustable uhmw strip under the belt for support while in operation. I also made a couple of belts out of some leather and croxed one, diamond coated the other.
    So far, I've only cleaned up one razor on it but it helps me maintain a steady stroke while cleaning the sides.
    Anyway, cheers.
