Cheers guys, there really is more than one way to skin a cat. I'll pick up a bit of plate from the 'mongers in the morning and let you know how I get on. Angling and fitting it is the toughy

Right then, I think I've had a productive day. (Amazing what you can do when you have the right materials)

I drilled two holes in the exhaust housing of the sander:

This was so I could attach the plate I cut and also adjust the height in theory changing the angle.

Ok, so you might not be able to see this but it's around 12˚

I cut the plate pretty much like HB did his. It's not perfect, but neither am I.

Slight issues with vibrating the nuts but not bad for an afternoon bodge.

You need 2 stops under the front bits or when you grind a blade you will push the plate onto the belt and grind the plate away., plus it will change the angle as your grinding.

I should have posted pics of that bit :) You can just see them on the bottom pic i put up :)

Looking ok so far though :)
