I am looking for pictures of jigs that you use to convert your belt sander into a "drum" sander in order to thickness your head stock.

thanks

Mine is pretty much the same as Kim's. I use it to scallop braces and bridge ends, thickness the headstock, and other tasks. Works good even on my little belt sander.

Hmm. I don't have one of those, I just use the round end and do it by hand.
That looks like a good idea.

Those jigs are also useful for thinning steel-string bridge wings.

Arranging dust collection can be tricky- I use mine in the garage with the door open. (Or use the Safe-T planer for headstock thinning and finish off in the thickness sander (no conveyor)).
