A Look At Our Disk Sander

[@jimgeelan5949]

Simple and useful thats all that matters & didn’t cost a lot 😊 every day life in a joinery workshop, got a problem ? We are makers we get over it. Brilliant thank you.

@@jimgeelan5949 Yep, perfect mindset. 👍

Nice look at a home built. Some time when you are using it try to get some footage as it would be interesting to see how much dust is blown up even with the dust hose…wonder if enclosing the back would be worth it to increase the suction. Thanks for showing.

If you check out my earlier curved projects, like the semicircular window, I use it on there. However, it wasn't extracted, so it was a bit dusty. When it is extracted, it gives off basiccaly no dust at all as the disk is sandwiched in its own compartment.

Y'know, I never did consider making my own disc sander, I do have a random AC motor laying around that might work

@BlackHawk295 With a bit of planning, they are not a difficult thing to make, provided you have the parts required.

@truckguy6666 Kwila is a species of Hardwood grown in New Guinea. Very good timber!

@@DTJoinery Nice. Never heard of it! Maybe I heard some of the other names. Love the videos, thanks!

@truckguy6666 Merbau is the same botanical species grown in Malaysia.

Got a guess on RPM?

[@DTJoinery]

The motor is a 1440rpm, so looking at the pulleys, I'm guessing the disk is spinning at around 720rpm at the centre, maybe 1000rpm. I can't see the pulley size clearly on the motor to be certain.
