How to make a spinning drum sander for drill press

To make this drill press drum sander I use a bearing that helps to keep the drum sander always straight. I also show how to rectify and how to true the drum sander to make a perfect cylinder. I also make a drill press table to fit the bearing and to sand the workpieces easily. A woodworking sander, like this drill press sanding attachment, is a woodworking machine that helps a lot when sanding wood in our woodworking shop. And the best part is that woodworking drum sanders are not very complicated to make,

A very clear instruction. I will be making some of these and especially like the lower bearing design. Thank you for sharing 👍😎🇦🇺

Excellent video... and great sense of dry humour from time to time ... loved it ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

[@justavian]

I love the "precision carpentry" comment. Nice video. I've tried to do drum sanding on my press, and i found it not very effective - but your build with the bearing is much better than what i did.

[@shonaoneill5151]

Sergio Acuña Padin Great job friend, I am going to use this exact idea. Thank you, it meets my need perfectly.....fortunately I bought a pack of 10 bearings last year when my daughters scooter needed new ones, so I have eight spare, I will be able to make various grit drums as you suggested.

[@shonaoneill5151]

Sergio Acuña Padin also, have you thought of making different widths of the drums for different applications? Just a thought....

Ive been going through your videos, and one thing is for certain. You are the king of jigs! Very informative, thanks for sharing with us

[@charlesmadisonrhea]

Thank you. Enjoyed your ingenuity and your humor. I am not as far along in my skills as you are.

[@joshsbomber]

Very good ideas here. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything and for the added humor.

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Great set up ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@heinzelbers7247]

Well done, thas was my 2nd video from you today, best educational coffee breaks in a long time. I never thought about the idea of ball bearings, as they help protecting the drill press chuck from too much pressure against it. Now I just have to source some bearings and make a couple of drum sanders. The very effective way to straighten up the drum with the wooden strip and sandpaper is another thing I will incorporate into my drum building. :)

[@matt69cp]

What a fantastic idea! I will definitely be making some of these thanks to you. Bravo!

[@MrKornhole]

Thanks for the ideas Sergio, I like J Will's idea to add dust collection to the box.

[@HABU]

Nice done!

[@mr.b.w.3146]

Another great video! I made something similar and used it on my lathe, it did what I wanted, a quick fix at the time.

[@adammikitzel9053]

Ingenious and resourceful solution using material that is easy to find. Amazing!

[@TheLayinLo]

Thank you for the video. I sprayed a layer of flexible rubber seal (flex seal) onto the surface of my discs that make up the body of the drum sander. It really improved the longevity of my drum. I need to use your ideas to upgrade my diy drum sander again and bring it to an even more functional level! Thank you again

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

It is quite interesting that of using a flexible rubber seal :)

[@MrGottmusik]

Excellent. Thank you so much for your time and great ideas..... I was just about to purchase a spindle sander...... this helps a lot.

[@bigbadjohn10]

I like the idea. I have been thinking about making one like this but had not thought about the bottom bearing ... A brilliant idea.

Excellent video! Clear instructions and very good result. I like that you kept in the small mistakes so that people don't make the same mistakes if copying the design. I've subscribed to your channel. Thanks from London England 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙏

[@rudiruesay]

A very nice project. It's not expensive and without the dust, it's perfect. Happy christmas!

[@almosthuman1398]

When using threaded rod for a project like this, I usually choose a bit one size smaller than the rod. Then you can screw the wooden discs onto the rod, which gives a little more secure hold than the epoxy alone. Well done.

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you. And thanks for the tip :D

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

Thanks for showing & sharing that, very good

Thank you for a most EXCELLENT and informative video! The video showed everything so clearly and your explanation was very detailed and understandable. I am certainly going to make a couple of these. I'm so glad I found this video and I'll be checking out your others.

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you very much Shirley 😃. It takes me a lot of effort to make everyone of my videos

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

wow nice! looks good! I just started my woodshop at home. now busy with setting up my workspace. Just finished my first videos and soon starting with furniture videos. Subscribed

[@reinharddecker4650]

Good work, Sergio! I made one from palletwood, two years ago. The same way, but much more easier, without bearing and without glueing the paper. Only fixed with a little dowel in a hole. Works perfectly in an old Drillmachine. But bearings are absolutly neccesary in my new one to safe it from damages. Merry Christmas!

[@PeteBeardsley]

I made a similar drum sander a while ago, but the addition of the bearing is genius! Thanks for the tip and the video Sergio. PS> Nothing wrong with precision carpentry! lol

[@Leohoe]

Excellent work !

[@billderinbaja3883]

Sergio, very clever solution to any device requiring side pressure on the drill-press shaft... wire wheel, horizontal blade, etc.. I like your videos, perfect level of detail and well produced... subscribed!

Making a dust collector is a good idea, fine wood dust and pva makes great wood filler, it hides mistakes well!!lol!. Great work matey. All the best.

Why i like his videos? Cause he works with unexpensive or cheap tools and maschines like i do. And: It works also!

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Hahahaha, thank you very much. I love using my homemade woodworking tools :D

[@richardbritt2281]

You do a great job explaining each step and I do like the tapping the bolts down also but next time you have to tap the opposite direction, screw a nut on until bolt is flush with bolt end. This will allow safe strike on bolt without endangering the bolt threads.

[@davidnleeh4]

I really like your "precision" carpentry!!!😄😄

This sander works very well :)

Excellent, très utile 👍👍 Norbert (France)

[@riteandleft]

Great video. Thanks.

[@XJWill1]

If you make the threaded rod several inches longer, leaving a gap between the bearing and the plywood discs, then you can make a dust-collection box. Just remove the top plywood board, add 4 walls tall enough for a dust-collection port, glue or screw them together, drill a port for dust collection in one wall, and then put the top back on.

[@MarkMcCluney]

J Will I think Dominic Bender has a video of something very similar to that dust collector for his drill press spindle sander.

[@bigbadjohn10]

I agree that bottom extraction would be a good move.

[@SexyC63Amg]

Bravo! I love your work my friend 😊

[@franzotto448]

einfach Spitze, deine Arbeit und dein Video

[@cirlind]

I make some toys and use the same way to make wheels for cars. The difference I made a drum sander is that I use dowels. Up to 1 1/2 inches thick. and maybe the same length (maybe 2 1/2 inches long or 3')as yours. I drill a hole in the middle of the dowel and insert a 1/4 dowel instead of a rod. And works perfecrly.

[@b3arwithm3]

I was also thinking of trying this. I would leave the bearing in the bottom of the table.

Perfect. Thanks a lot. I'm getting the self locking nuts, the washers and the bearing today. I have the plywood, threaded rod, glues, sandpapers and of course the drill press.

[@satx110740]

Sergio when cutting threaded rod leave 1 or 2 nuts on either side of your cut. Easy way to clean up the threads. Always enjoy your video's.

[@luxsabre]

Great tip!

[@cavegarden]

Precision carpentry!! I have a similar, cheap drill press. You can change the belts to make it run slower; it will work better with the hole saw in that way.

[@RichardMerrill3Hawk]

I have followed your channel for a couple of years, but just found this today. I love it, but I didn't have hole saws. I just ordered a set to make your drum sander! I have two 1/4" (6mm) ID bearings, and I agree with @ShiftySquirrel, the bearing is genius!
