Scribing With A Belt Power Sander

Not all surfaces are one hundred percent even one hundred percent of the time.  Occasionally, you’ll find a wall or floor that has been warped or bowed for any number of reasons, and you’ll need to sand down a piece of wood to fit the area.  This is where scribing with a belt sander comes in handy.  The first thing you need to do is trace the shape of the warped or uneven surface on the ill-fitting piece of wood.  Next, secure the wood with a clamp (or multiple clamps, depending on the length of the wood).  Use your belt sander to sand to your traced line, making sure to keep the sander flat and level.
