The belt sander includes a belt arm assembly having a belt arm, the belt configured to translate in response to input from the shaft. The belt sander includes a plurality of incrementally spaced apart receivers on the gear casing and an engagement member in operational communication with the belt arm assembly, the engagement member being movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein in the locked position the engagement member engages a receiver to fix the belt arm assembly incrementally relative to the gear casing, and wherein in the unlocked position the belt arm assembly freely rotates relative to the belt arm assembly to pivot the belt arm about the drive axis.
