Looks awesome....can you expla how you did it ?  Thank you

Have the big drive drum there turned flat except about 1 in. On each end
Instead of the guide wheel you can use a rub pin or collar.
Then the table can be alum. Mine is steel. Mounted on the three motor cover bolts and spacers

SO.......

Here is what I'm doing to make my own bearing guide....Im taking break right now....
Its going well.
I decided to machine in place since the only machine shop I trust is month out on work.....

Here is how I added my guide bearing

That is better than anything Flem did
That's not Jerry rigging, That's  Albert Einstein rigging
Nice job
you may need to add to the bearing to get it the same size as the roller with the sanding paper O.D.
Mine is 3.080--.080 for the sand paper

Thanks bud...it was a lot of setup. Im either adding to it or adjusting my guide templates...Ill know in couple days when I start making risers

Not saying that end won't work but on my setup the drive drum is much better.

It works good..I did some tests... Honestly I never thought about using the drive drum

  What happens when you have to adjust tracking on your belt, won't that throw your roller off from 90*??

[Crooked Stic]

Kinda what I was thinking Shredd.

standing at the end mine goes left and right to track the belt but stays 90 the other way

  What if you got a concave to sand... Won't the platen get in the way??
