Power Tools, Pride & a Whole Lot of Noise

2026 Dawson Co-op Belt Sander Races

Well… that got competitive FAST.


A huge THANK YOU to everyone who made the 2026 Co-op Contractor Expo Belt Sander Races such a blast!

Four brave competitors put their sanders to the test, but Stephen from Northern Lights College came out on top AGAIN this year with his seriously impressive racing machine. We’re starting to think he may be taking this belt sander business a little too seriously.

And a very special thank you to Frank from NLC for creating our very own CUSTOM Co-op racer — it was way too good not to show off! Check out the unboxing video below

A big shoutout to our Grand Marshall, Dave Larden, for keeping everyone in line — or at least trying to — and to our fantastic sponsors, Exchange-A-Blade, FastenMaster and Boshart Industries, for helping make the fun possible.

Thanks to everyone who raced, cheered, laughed and joined in the chaos.

Stephen… enjoy those bragging rights while they last. We’ll see you all at the starting line next year!

Be There. Feel the Grit.

Two sanders. One track. Ultimate bragging rights.

Coming back in 2027!
