When it rains, it pours..

First the skil saw, and tonight the beltsander overheated or burnt out. I dont know which, but at least it dont run when I press the button anymore. funny how you dont notice things like smoke coming from the sander when you wear goggles and a respirator..
Anyway, panel #5 is now sanded 50%, and I can do the rest with the disc sander. We definately need to get the beltsander back to life though. Great tool!

Rolf, I once had a beltsander stop working because of dust getting inside it and blocking the on/off switch from making proper contact to the busbars. If it's burnt you can verify that with a multimeter, but try to blow air into it untill there is no more dust coming out of it. Insist in the switch area, just a guess.
