12" Disc sander - 2

In the first session for this project we made the motor disc, with that done next job is to make the sander disc.

Cutting the sander disc on my homemade 14" bandsaw.

Now over to the belt & disc sander.

For larger stuff I made a extension table.

It simply slides on and is held down at the front edge of the sander table with a clamp block.

The usual method is to pin the centre with a clout onto another piece of plywood. Lightly clamp one corner to pivot as needed, nudge up to the sander disc and slowly turn down to the line.

Same for the motor disc…back soon.
