Sears Handheld Belt Sander Converted To Bench Sander - Belt Sander Stand

I have a Sears Belt Sander, almost identical to the one in this Project. I often flip it over on a Bench, to use it in Small Parts. Wooden and Metal too. It's a quick and easy De-bur Tool. And great for sanding things to the shape and size, you need. But, setting upside down, it is a bit hard to grab hold of it, to keep it still. Without getting ahold of the moving belt. And the On - Off Switch is a bit harder to reach too. I always use a Power Strip, for it's built in Switch. As a way to turn it off, in a Pinch. But, that small switch, it a bit hard to hit with your Boot, in a hurry. I've been thinking of making a Stand, for it, for quite a few wears now. But, never got a round to it. Today, I found an Article, on how, a guy. Built one for his Sande. And I like the design. He, even added a Connector for a Vacuum. Which is something I would really like. My Sander actually has a Bag, on it, to collect Dust. And it does help. But, you can't leave it on, when it's setting upside down on a Bench. I figured I could make a Reducer, to connect a Vacuum Hose, to mine. Since the Connector on my Sander is about 1.25 inches in Diameter. And my smallest vacuum hose is much bigger, than that. Anyway... Here's the info on the  one that Built...

ARDUINO MPPT SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER (Version-3.0)

"This instructable will cover a project build for a Arduino based Solar MPPT charge controller.It has features like: LCD display,Led Indication,Wi Fi data logging and provision for charging different USB devices.It is equipped with various protections to protect the circuitry from abnormal condition.

The microcontroller used is in this controller is Arduino Nano. This design is suitable for a 50W solar panel to charge a commonly used 12V lead acid battery. You can also use other Arduino board like Pro Mini,Micro and UNO.

Now a days the most advance solar charge controller available in the market is Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT).The MPPT controller is more sophisticated and more expensive.It has several advantages over the earlier charge controller.It is 30 to 40 % more efficient at low temperature.But making a MPPT charge controller is little bit complex in compare to PWM charge controller.It require some basic knowledge of power electronics."
