Static electricity?

I'm building some kit knives using both G10 and Micarta for handle materials and I'm using a Delta 4" bench top sander for rough shaping and a Harbor Freight 1x30 belt sander for finish sanding. The problem I'm having is with the HF 1x30. Static electricity builds up and will periodically shock the crap out of me! I've even tried wearing rubberized gloves without much help. Has anyone else had this happen and what did you do about it? Any suggestions would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
