T0240 Bench Vertical Belt and Disk Sander

I go this tool for one very specific purpose: sanding off the copper plating on one side of hundreds of pennies. I attached a tube that would hold a stack of pennies up against the belt, with a gap between the belt and tube that was slightly thinner than a penny. Each penny in turn would be pressed against the belt until it had been sanded thin enough to fit through the gap, and then it would get shot out the bottom at high speed, making room for the next penny to advance against the fence. This worked remarkably well.
