Want me to get my wife to working on it?

Just buy a new belt.
If Klingspor can’t sell you a replacement, 2Sand.com can custom make any size belt.
The tape on sanding belts is NOT forever. Belts have a shelf life, after which they are subject to early tape failure.

Isn't there some kind of mesh belt, or something that isn't abrasive paper? Has anyone had any experience with them?

Can you "stitch" (or lace it) it together using fishing line?
It turns out that there are many kits out there for repairing conveyor belts. Most seem to use "staples".

I think most conveyor belt applications don't have a problem with a little bump on the once-around. Seems like that would cause a problem with a sander

I'll bet they do, I would think that even a little bump in the belt would lift the work piece into the sanding drum slightly.

I was trying to say that sanding conveyors shouldn't have a bump like the one that would come with staples.

Gotcha, didn't read carefully enough (again). Sorry.

I comfort myself with the idea he gets to think about that every time he sees that gift sitting on his shelf.
Yea, I am just that kind of guy.
I love it!

I would bet the Commander does not
