Homemade Sanding Spindles for the Drill-Press

[@dr.blackysenior8615]

I find all your videos and projects and your clear explanation for every detail very professional what shows a high degree of intelligence. Thank you for your good ideas.

[@xyshomavazax]

This is EXACTLY what I needed to see. THANK YOU! I’m making this tonight!

[@joseroberto8328]

I am watching your videos here in Brazil and I have learned a lot from you.

[@RodneyLynch68]

For a young man you learn very quickly. Me on the other hand would hold the wood with my hand another 2-3 times before I realized it wasn't a good thing to do. 🤪

[@Enredandonogaraxe]

That is an easy way to make the sanding spindles. Nice project and video

[@MariusHornberger]

Enredando No Garaxe Thank you!

[@Mr2at]

Very considerate of you to give an alternative method to the lathe.

[@lcerante]

Thank you for all the tips. I really like the way you fix in place the sand paper with those slots. Pretty cool stuff.

[@michaeldillon4070]

Well done Marius! I particularly liked your method of attaching the roll through the slit. I intend using that method.

[@eulerss7]

I really enjoy viewing your Videos, I Don't know anything about working with wood, but it's nice to see your work :)

[@millie19301]

Nice job. I had not seen the slot and screws to hold the paper. Good idea. Thanks.

[@guyh.4553]

Nice video. Couple of tips for you. #1 You can use wood clamps to hold the wood pieces being cut. #2 On the bolt head, add a lock washer & that should lock them in. Also leave the tightening nut fully exposed. Doesn't matter...

[@floydmillar2875]

Great as always ,really nice that you give credit to other uploaders as well .Great work

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing!

[@christopheleblanc9175]

i really like that you assume that we do not have certain equipment ,un like others who have every thing, or they seem to any way, i too started many years ago with a cheap jig saw, old skill 1/4'' chuck drill only forward,lol and old set of missing drill bits bitts, and a rusty Stanley chesile ,lol oh and a 12'' handyman saw,lol in all worth like $5 total in a garage sale ,lol and today many of my tools and jigs were made by me or paid for by the projects the first tools made,lol keep up the great work, and the different teckneiks to make the same device ,this i trully enjoy from your videos, christopher

[@GoGreenMan]

cutting on the edge to let dust out is a great idea!

[@barryroberts6470]

Great Project and 'How To' Marius. Thanks. Barry from England.

[@tympt1]

Barry Roberts I agree with your thoughts. I am also a Barry from England!

[@barryroberts6470]

Small world eh, where about in England are you?

[@tympt1]

Barry Roberts I live in Leicestershire in a small village near Ashby de la Zouch. Where are you?

[@barryroberts6470]

I live in West Kirby which is on the Wirral.

[@rutwijvaidya]

The last technique was lovely :) thank you

[@Craxler]

Hey, i have an idea on how to improve this, what if you made the bolt go through the cylinder and attaches to a bearing on the other side which sits in another piece of plywood and helps the drill handle the horizontal load from sanding?

[@patrickbrett66]

Craxler using a length of studding ( threaded rod) will be best for this idea, I was going to suggest this method also.

[@scratchy101]

If you do a lot of sanding, then this is a must. Drill press bearings are designed for axial load, not radial load, so having an unsupported drum can wear out your drill press bearings quickly. Lee Valley actually sells a bearing support kit for just this purpose. www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?cat=1,42500&p=20202 "Mounting a drum sander on a drill press is a convenient way to sand, but there are two shortfalls. First, the bearings on a drill press are designed for axial loading - side loading causes quill wear and run-out. Second, extra-long drums tend to deflect as you apply pressure when sanding, producing a sloping edge on the workpiece."

[@Bright8888]

Thank you Marius. Though the idea is fairly simple, the perfection in your work makes your video interesting and inspiring. The options and explanations you give for wrapping the sand paper around the wooden cylinders make your video quite helpful for those who intend to build the sanding spindles. What are the dimensions of the spindles? Are they 1", 2" & 3" in diameter and 3" in height?

[@brukernavnfettsjit]

Great! Thanks for showing how to do this with out a lathe.

[@chemcody5119]

Very nice Marius! Once again a very useful project.

[@MariusHornberger]

Chem Cody Thank you Chem!

[@bevnian760]

Marius, Great idea, will try making some tomorrow, many thanks

[@MariusHornberger]

bevnian Good luck!

[@idespiseallconartists8943]

@Marius Hornberger Thanks for passing on that "Screw tightening Method!" I'll be using screws from now on, & $ave a couple of $'s!

[@dewolfen5129]

Fantastic idea and explained very well .

[@derekpercy7787]

Wow - So Clever! Thanks for sharing

[@GlassImpressions]

Another great production Marius!

[@MariusHornberger]

Glass Impressions Thank you!

[@GoGreenMan]

cutting on the edge so the dust comes out is a great idea

[@BenderRodriguezBender]

Danke für den Tip. Ich hab schon überlegt wie ich das hinkrieg weil ich keinen so grossen einzelblock aus nem Stück Holz bohren kann. Die Idee mit den Einzelteilen is super. Danke

[@22tadi]

thank you, you are so good in explaining

[@MarkMcCluney]

When I'm counterboring something to accept a bolt-head I use bit with the same diameter as the face-to-face seperation of the bolt. Then on tightening, the head bites into the wood and makes a hex-head cavity which stops the bolt from rotating, in case friction won't hold it. Different materials will behave differently (it has always worked in MDF for me) and perhaps not very 'purist' but it gets the job done.

[@MariusHornberger]

Mark McCluney Yeah I know that. But in my case that could have been 14mm. I have such a drill bit, but it's a special one and probably no one else has one that size. But as I tightened the nut really hard, I'm confident that this friction is enough.

[@Linrox]

would love to see a video on how you made the hand hold for the sanding drum you used on the inside of your dust collector bin. but another great video here.

[@aintgonnahappen]

Those turned out nice, Marius. Great vid, as usual. :)

[@MariusHornberger]

aintgonnahappen Thank you!

[@boudreaumay3040]

Another Winner Marius ! I'm Glued !

[@borislum1998]

great explanation and terrific on problem solving. thank you. well done

[@mc4kvb]

This is really a good video son. Thank you so much for explaining everything you did. I too saw the other video on how the guy made that slit and tucked the sand paper in. I too like that idea. Great tip on using the drill press as a substitute lathe as I don’t have a lathe. Thank you again and I really enjoyed your video and I subscribed to your channel too.

[@liberato4751]

Excellent job, I will try inmediatly Regards from Mexico

[@ConfusionWood]

great work! thank you for idea!

[@Imwright720]

Funny how many people have to learn that lesson. I saw a guy do that with a knife blank. He was very lucky.

[@electrotecniayelectrnica1171]

muy buena idea Marius,gracias por tu video,saludos desde Venezuela

[@faragleflegi8449]

ohh...nice piece of work

[@blackfender100]

Excellent Marius thank you.

[@DiegoSynth]

Great idea about the slots & screw! Thanks! :)

[@richardraesr3482]

Gr8 video, they turned out awesome

[@BobHerres]

Great idea with the slot Thank you for sharing

[@johnd137]

A spring PIN would work as well as a screw and would hold more of the paper

[@renespitz9886]

Coole Idee, das schreit nach einer Nachahmung :) Kannst du mir sagen welche Durchmesser "die üblichsten" sind bzw. welche du dir gebaut hast? Oder hast du einfach frei nach Schnauze was deine Lochsäge hergab gebaut?

[@MariusHornberger]

Frei Schnauze nach Lochsäge

[@slimeball6408]

Can you make like a stand for a drill and use the drill insted ? Nice video

[@MariusHornberger]

slimeball Of course YOU can do that. ;)

[@slimeball6408]

Got damn Well i have look at som plans but i just want one i Can trust with the plans

[@slimeball6408]

;)

[@GT-fb8nv]

Mighty purdy work!

[@ensen89]

I wonder, if you could or should put a bearing in the buttom of the spindle. This would take a lot of load from the drill presses bearings. But of course, it needs to be alligned everytime you use it. Or you build a frame around the spindle with bearings on the top and the bottom. And put a flexible shaft in the drill press to drive it. Alligment wouldn't be that critical then. Just some thoughts I have about such spindles for quite some time. As you sad... drill presses and their bearings a not designed for radial loads.

[@MariusHornberger]

ensen89 Interesting ideas, but for sanding the bearings are good enough. It's just the turning that's critical.

[@bobhudson3286]

Very good young sir. It would have been interesting to see you sanding to some kind of line.

[@JM2012DAyGU]

Simple and clever. Thanks

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Great! I had just started making mine and this video together with Savvas' one are the perfect reference

[@giulio1893]

Another good job!!

[@MariusHornberger]

Giulio Augustin Thank you Giulio.

[@paulcastro1361]

GREAT JOB SIR!!

[@terrancebarrett727]

Hey! How is that barrel sanding thing used?! "Satire"..

[@paolonetube]

Nice job and good tutorial. Thank you!

[@robinmarwick1982]

Thanks Marius helpful video...

[@MarceloRezende75]

Great project!

[@JoergGebhard]

Nice and useful video, thank you !

[@DediYulyadi-wt5gh]

Thanks Mr...yes

[@katzenklo4158]

Taugt die Bohrmaschine was?

[@738polarbear]

It would be better to put the bolt right into the drill press table for support and to relieve pressure on the quill .

[@MsIguanodon]

Maybe you could attach some string onto the drill press handle and move it up and down with your feet or something.

[@MariusHornberger]

***** I already thought about that and started building as well. But I don't use these very often, so it's not worth the effort.

[@charleyandsarah]

Great idea!

[@quidamdepopulo261]

Such a wound! You've risked your life!!! :-D

[@Loszmi]

What kind of drill press it is? Best Miłosz

[@MariusHornberger]

[@mcorrade]

very nice thank you. I too don't have a drum sander but this method will do the trick :)

[@Jonas4747]

Tolles Video, machst du auch noch eins über deine Schleifblöcke? Der sah cool aus

[@MariusHornberger]

Jonas4747 Danke. Kann ich vielleicht mal machen, wenn ich Zeit dafür finde.

[@JCsWorkshop]

good project Marius! JC

[@MariusHornberger]

JC's Workshop Thank you!

[@xHMProductionx]

At what speed (rpm) did you have your drill press when turning and sanding?

[@MariusHornberger]

+xHMProductionx Something around 1000rpm

[@yuragari]

can you make a item list from the stuff what you juse in you projects so that pepol that one to make it too het the stuff

[@oldmanpottering]

good job ,nice tutorial thank you

[@Proga_mer7878]

What's the name of but that you are using to hide the bolt

[@recklessroges]

Its called a Forstner Bit.

[@jalmaquantin7213]

very good idea !

[@irfanoruk4998]

it is very good. thanks

[@Loszmi]

Similar to Proma E-1516B, I'm thinking about.

[@russelblackwell6041]

with the round timber wheels why don't you use bolts with less thread near he head of the bolt cut the bolt heads off have nuts on both ends and your left with a shaft on one end this way this fits better into the drill press chuck also no need to buy from hardware often used for attaching rubber sanding discs to drills

[@NACHOXVALLE]

Thx a lot, Marius!

[@alexanderblaszczyk4772]

Dein Video is echt cool mach weiter so bin 12 und habe selbst eine eigene Werkstadt habe viele Sachen nach gebaut und ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Video

[@MariusHornberger]

Alexander Blaszczyk Danke Alexander!

[@velleras]

excellent job! I'll do like that!

[@simonpernalete1956]

Muy bueno , Gracias por el video, Saludos.....

[@mikesmith2102]

You can put those sanding spindles in your table top router and turn the speed all the down.

[@Iskelderon]

Maybe add a blast of Plasti Dip to the outside to make the paper even more stable?

[@sdrouin3612]

j'aime bien. je vais m'en inspirer. merci de partager.

[@IsaacC20]

1:58 When this happens, I just epoxy the bolt to the wood.

[@mikebirnie6381]

Brilliant

[@carloastone166]

bravo

[@Castle6064]

Very very nice

[@hidgik]

There is so much wobbling when you are drilling.

[@yuragari]

I did the same with a piece of aluminum there stitcht my skin back to my tum0

[@allenang9541]

So... Why not just a lathe to do the job instead of going through all of that troubles?

[@velcroman11]

Never tighten the bolt end. Always tighten the nut end. Tightening from the bolt end means you are tightening against the friction of the shaft of the bolt. It will never be as tight.

[@madechoo]

Excelente amigo!!!

[@hrxy1]

stahwille spanners are excellent better than snap on I ve used them since 1969

[@malgespannt3409]

Nice!

[@MIWESTI]

EXCELENTE

[@brh4015]

you are watching pocket83's videos, good choice.

[@Jonas4747]

I can only agree

[@Darkmatter321]

Title should be " how to use 5000 $ worth of equipment to make a 50 cent tool"

[@M_M0109]

He used a drill press, a few drill bits, chisel and a wrench. That's hardly $5000 worth of equipment.

[@MrDfitch09]

Did your name change cause I swear your last name was a bit different
