Now that you mention it my 2x48 belt sander gives me a small shock sometimes. I try to avoid touching the frame while grinding but, the shock is sometimes even felt through the work piece when I make and break contact with the rest. I thought it could be a bad ground but after checking I couldn't find any problems. Gloves are such a pain to even remember where a pair are, insulated plier does the trick for small items. There is no way I would have ever correlated a belt sander with the Van de' Graff, but now at least a possible direction for a solution has been made available. Thanks to all for the tip.
