A recent discussion regarding using a powered mini sanding belt tool prompted me to look on Amazon and see if such a tool could be adapted to sand hammers.

Here's a link to the one I found:   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089LNM726/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It works very well with just the addition of a small piece of clear plexiglass.  It cost me all of about $30.  It runs off of a small power supply, included, which varies the speed of the tool.  It converts 110v to 4/5 to 24 volts.  Belts are included, along with a couple allen wrenches.  The belt mechanism is self tensioning, and tracks well.  The motor has an on-off switch, and a reversing switch so you can run the sander in either direction.  It weighs about 2 pounds, and doesn't have any frills or rubber handles like one would expect on an expensive tool.  I took some photos of it, and a couple videos showing how it works.  I tested it out this afternoon, and it works quite well with the included fine sanding belt.  It's just a little shy of the full width of a hammer, but a little hand sanding can take care of that.  You'll of course finish off with some finer sandpaper anyway.
Not to diminish the other tool sold by Dale Erwin, which I also own, but it's a lot more convenient and cheaper than buying the expensive tool, and also a Foredom tool (more $$$), and deal with a cumbersome flex shaft and speed pedal.

I took some photos and a video (2 parts) which I"m attaching here.  Hope this helps somebody.

Cool, thanks for sharing! That looks like it's exactly what I'm looking for. 

Quick question. It looks from the pictures that it works well on grand hammers. Do you think it would work on upright hammers as well, or would the plexiglass hinder it?

A recent discussion regarding using a powered mini sanding belt tool prompted me to look on Amazon and see if such a tool could be adapted to sand hammers.

Here's a link to the one I found:   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089LNM726/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It works very well with just the addition of a small piece of clear plexiglass.  It cost me all of about $30.  It runs off of a small power supply, included, which varies the speed of the tool.  It converts 110v to 4/5 to 24 volts.  Belts are included, along with a couple allen wrenches.  The belt mechanism is self tensioning, and tracks well.  The motor has an on-off switch, and a reversing switch so you can run the sander in either direction.  It weighs about 2 pounds, and doesn't have any frills or rubber handles like one would expect on an expensive tool.  I took some photos of it, and a couple videos showing how it works.  I tested it out this afternoon, and it works quite well with the included fine sanding belt.  It's just a little shy of the full width of a hammer, but a little hand sanding can take care of that.  You'll of course finish off with some finer sandpaper anyway.
Not to diminish the other tool sold by Dale Erwin, which I also own, but it's a lot more convenient and cheaper than buying the expensive tool, and also a Foredom tool (more $$$), and deal with a cumbersome flex shaft and speed pedal.

I took some photos and a video (2 parts) which I"m attaching here.  Hope this helps somebody.
