Homemade Drum Sander 24 Inch Drum Sander Build

[@wallywest2360]

I like how a budget DIY build starts with using a CNC machine.

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

I agree its probably frustrating for those that don't have access to a cnc. But the same circles can be cut with a variety of other tools. Jigsaw, bandsaw, coping saw, or with the use of a table jig. You could jump on facebook market place and find someone selling custom signs that you know has a cnc and request them to cut the circles.

[@kwaktak]

CNC just means it’s exact. I’m currently trying to do this with a $60 Harbor Freight bench top drill press and a $30 hole cutter and an $8 reamer. I’m cutting the circles out of 1” thick surplus PVC decking. The results are pretty rough (PVC “dust” is coarse and there’s lots of static charge) and the drum has a bit of a wobble so I’m going to have to sand the circle cutouts smith like he did with the PVC drum and then wrapping the circumference in tape to try and fill the gap. PS: I also don’t have a 1hp motor lying around so I’m going to buy a cheap corded drill.

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

@@kwaktak Neil, maybe you can find an old pool pump motor, that's where I got mine from. I also experimented in the past with taking the grind wheel off my wheel grinder and replacing it with a homemade pulley, then using that as the motor to power a homemade lathe. Not sure if that will work for you but worth a try.

[@jst1man]

Huh.. and here I used a 2" PVC with a 2" wood rod in the middle... 1" would work also... It creates the support even better.

I used to have a DIY Drum Sander but is taking too much space in my shop so I got rid of it. After a few years, I realize I really need one. I'm thinking of a design that will save space when stored, but will not compromise accuracy. Anyway, thanks for your video, I really like the PVC instead of using wood although out.

I agree, space and storage is a huge factor. Right now I store mine on the floor in some underutilized space. I highly recommend the PVC method, it worked great, I get really good results.

Yea you're right Ed, having multiple drums would be nice. But honestly for my use case, I haven't had a need to swap out my original drum and original paper. I really only use this for when I do a batch of inlay boards, engrain boards, or large epoxy inlays.

Nice video. I picked up a set of your plans. I see from your replies that you used a 1.5 HP pool motor. Do you know what the motor's RPM is? I'm hoping to find a decent used motor and don't want it under powered or under speed. I'm sure I could play with pulley sizes if the speed is off, but I bought your plans so I don't have to reinvent the wheel, so to speak 🙂.

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

I honestly didn't do any math for the pulley sizes and motor RPMs. But what I did ended up working out great. I'd recommend making a few different sized pulleys and stacking them on both the motor and drum, kinda like a drill press so you can change where the belt engages to change the RPMs

[@dirtmover123]

1.5hp has quite a bit of friction generating potential. How warm does the PVC get? Any concerns with it heating up to the point that it distorts?

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

Hey David, your concerns about friction and heating up are valid. There are a few variables with my specific use case that doesn't make it a problem. I have 80 grit paper on mine so it does a pretty good job at removing material. If I had 220 for example I think heat from friction would be a bigger issues as it would have more surface area contact and removing less material. More of a buffing effect. Second is I have to feed all my pieces in by hand, so I get a really good sense of the resistance, if it's too much I just back it off a bit. It's easy to find a sweet spot where the drum is removing enough material but it's not overloading the motor. But to you point, yes if you were to try and take too much material off in one pass for a long time, there would be heat generated. Would it be enough to warp the drum? Who knows, I hope I don't find out.

I just used it the other day on an epoxy filled piece of walnut. Works just fine. I would def put the pulley on the inside of the frame to save space. I would put my adjustment knob on the other side. The way the motor spins I have to walk around to the back side to make an adjustment. I would add some dust collection, but other than that the thing only cost a few bucks so I store it in my shed and when i need it I set it up outside, use it, put it back in the shed.

Anyone who does projects that require a drum sander is very likely an active wood worker and will likely have scrap 2x4s and a handful of screws laying around the shop.

[@samdavies1752]

I find it quite funny how you used your impact to drill and then your drill to drive. I like the pvc pipe idea but without a CNC its hard to make circles for the ID of pipe :/

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

Hey Sam, yea somethings it just depends which bits I have in which drill. MDF is really easy to work so I think you'll be just find tracing a circle template and rough cutting with a jig saw or bandsaw then sanding up to the line. The gorilla glue expands a lot so you're going to get a solid fit no matter if the circles aren't perfect. Then even if the axis is off a bit, sanding that PVC down while it's spinning while referencing your base board will take any error out. I agree, it seems kinda silly starting a video like this off with a cnc machine, but hey, I have a cnc so I'm going to use it. I still have this drum sander and use it for all inlay, epoxy, end grain boards, and it's working great, still have the original sand paper on there too. I've been tempting to buy a drum sander but this things works just find and I don't use it enough to justify the $2k

[@badbehavior1883]

Now that you made it 24 inches wide, will you really use that width very often? great video for all of us DIY'ers!

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

Nope! I've only used this for small inlay work. I think the max width of those cutting boards was 8 inches. However, the reason I build it 24 inches wide is because my planer is 12 inches. So if I had to plane down two boards then glue them up, I wanted to be able to remove the glue line with the 24 inch wide sander. But yea, this thing is very big and takes up a lot of space. Definitely something to consider when building your own.

[@markh983]

@@KeimpieceCarpentry he spun a pvc pipe with sand paper on a lathe and made a stand under it so he could push the wood through lol

Did you try the links of the materials I provided in the video description?

[@juniorundersea]

why not use only one wheel in each end and simple ,i think is same effective because that pvc pipe is hard and rigid ..im thinking in make my own drum sander but i dont want to put so many wheels inside the pipe ..yes im lazy .at this point i have all pieces cut over my work bench to finish i have just to put the drum parts togetter .is only 21 inches whide but my proyects right now are less whide than that .

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

I think you may be right, 2 wheels might work. 3 wheels would for sure be enough. I'm spoiled with my cnc so it was easy for me to make 5 wheels. Let me know how yours turns out with 2 wheels.

@@KeimpieceCarpentry yeah i will make it in my router table .easy job.thanks msn

[@solarguy6043]

@@juniorundersea unsupported pvc will flex. Flex is bad.

[@dirtmover123]

Putting flexing of the pipe aside, don't forget all the power is transmitted through the wheels with their glued connection to the axle being the weakest link. One at each end may fail under load without additional reinforcement.

[@juniorundersea]

@@dirtmover123 i made it all ready ,but i screwed the wheels to the axe glued the wheels prior to screw them and sanded to a smooth finish .is working good right now ,i made it again only with wheels glued and screwed the wheels on each tip ,and ready sanded super nice sanding machine ,fast and flat,smooth,.just have to sand with a fine papel with my orbital and the finiah is beautyful.

the annoying music...why?? Wearing a watch while working...why?? Toolbelt...why???...otherwise, it was great.

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

thanks for watching. I wear a watch to know the time and a tool belt holds tools. let me know if you have any other questions.

[@wadetomczyk8043]

Add the cost of a large CNC router, and then we're at $60 plus WHAT ????????????????????????? Mr CLICKBAIT ???????????? Channel BLOCKED !!!!!!!!

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

You don't need a cnc to cut circles out of MDF. You could easily use a scroll saw, jig saw, band saw, coping saw, tablesaw jig. But yea I get your point. Such a shame to see you go. Thanks for watching and commenting though before leaving.

[@jesustorres6969]

Are those perfect circles to you? I don't think so, only God can make perfect things.

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

you're right my apologies, I should have said imperfect circles.

[@JesseWright68]

Apparently he makes perfect idiots.
