Horizontal belt sanders have a fatal flaw—lack of precision. In this video, I show you how to fix it with a simple floating fence that transforms your belt sander into an accurate tool. Whether you're sanding edges after a bandsaw cut or refining your workpiece, this upgrade will give you precise, repeatable results.

I'll walk through why horizontal belt sanders struggle with accuracy, the different failed solutions, and how this simple fixture solves the problem for good. If you're serious about woodworking and getting clean, square edges, this is a must-have fix!
