The Ultimate Disk Sander Build FULL PROCESS

In this video I solve every problem I've seen in the homemade disk sanders I've see here on KZbin. Including the one I made a few moths ago. I go over everything from the motor choice to the order of operations in order to make the perfect homemade disk sander. On top of that this is a limited tools project!

Funny story. It was my intention to replace that toggle switch at the bottom of the sander at the end of the video. I bought 2 toggle switches and then on my way home to finish the video I got into a car wreck. Everything that was on the seat next to me ended up on the floor except for those 2 toggle switches which seem to have vaporized. They don't exist anymore. No idea where they went. Anyway during the last few shots of the video the switch that's on the machine broke and I had to take everything apart including the switch to repair it. I got it working but that toggle switched really would have come in handy haha.

Hope your ok? Wrecks suck!

[@LangeloScuro]

Ouch! That wasn't fun. Hope it all works out.

[@WyldeWoodworks]

Thanks. Everyone is fine. Most of the damage was to my wallet and my bumper lol

[@janeenl9167]

OMG! Glad you are okay. I had a wreck when I was 19 and my shoes came off. Never did find them 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@WyldeWoodworks]

@@janeenl9167 Oh Wow

[@apolinbasel]

A built-in dust collection system would be nice

[@DanaOredson]

Looks great, and I'll probably do a similar build. It might be a good idea to add a dust collection hold in there somewhere.

[@LangeloScuro]

By itself this is an awesome build, but revisiting to show a 2.0 version is even better. It's a great motivator for people to keep improving things. Also like the little changes to how you're making the videos now; keep it up. BTW, it's in the rule book that Dad's have to make their kids at the beginning of the videos. Lizzy singing "The End' was precious.

[@brucebondy3416]

Great vid. Nice work! Two thoughts about vibration. You can index the disc and use a rod between 2 points as your axle to check for balance and counter-weight the heavy side. Also, I would put a thick-ish rubber washer on each of the motor mounting bolts between the motor plate and the housing base as an isolator. That would eliminate a lot of the vibration and reduce the noise as well.

[@rockinrswoodshop]

And we will now all be patiently awaiting the homemade portable drill press… And hope you are well after the wreck!

[@WyldeWoodworks]

Thanks! Mobile drill press video will be coming out next Friday. Yes everybody is good!

[@LangeloScuro]

@@WyldeWoodworks YES!!! Looking forward to it since I heard you say it.

[@grumpyoldman7818]

that is a real good one. I love what you did, and I think that it is much better than the first. At least it is quieter. That alone is a big improvement. Good job

[@discerningx3375]

I love that you use your scroll saw so much! I have a good one and use it. You are the only person I've seen using it. Maybe a video about that. What it's better at than a band saw.

[@davidmarr5245]

I've been wanting to build one for a long time, just found a good motor. I like how yours turned out, I will be using this video for inspiration

[@WyldeWoodworks]

Thats great! I'd love to see how it turnes out

[@PerrynBecky]

You can also implement the motor to accommodate a belt sander setup on the back since the shaft exits the backside of the motor, where you have the V belt pulley now. That's an awesome build. The first build is a good prototype, and the improvements on the 2nd build was very good.

[@kpmathis71]

Dust collection? A hose holder under the table would do something, maybe?

[@janeenl9167]

“I can make one of those.” I love it! And I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that you can! Another great video! One thing - stop scaring your daughter! 😂😂😂 Watching from Texas 🇺🇸

[@WyldeWoodworks]

[@cackleberryfarm4598]

This is truly a GREAT video!!! Way to go. I loved hearing your thinking process as you went. I got a an Adam Savage vibe as I watched and I loved it! I've wanted to build one of these for over a year now. I tried recently building one with a garbage disposal motor. It works. But there's SOOOOOOO much wobble on it that I can't really control the sanding it does 😞. I don't know if it's the short and small spindle on the motor (it's only a 3/8" spindle that sits out about 3/4") But it's just not working for the 9" disc. So I thought I would try my hand using a washing machine motor and see how it goes. Thanks again for the great video!

[@WyldeWoodworks]

Thanks!

Radial arm drill press

[@waynesinden]

New subscriber here. Nice redemtion. I would probaly settle on the Frankenstein Sander.

[@WyldeWoodworks]

HAHA. I really don't want to throw that one away. I don't know what to do with it though. Welome to the channel!

[@rf8driver]

Normally I don't watch homemade equipment videos as I am old, and have just about every tool known to man, but this one came up when I needed to rework a sander. It was a pleasure to watch. You are a master of innovation and you will have a great future with youtube. Have you considered heat dispersion inside the motor box?

[@WyldeWoodworks]

Thanks! There's a fan in the motor that blows the heat directly out the back. I think It should be fine.

[@colleens4142]

Such a cool design! I love how "pretty" your mallet is! ❤️

[@nefariousyawn]

Fun stuff. If you haven't figured out out yet, the sandpaper can be cleaned with a sandpaper cleaning stick. They're pretty cheap and you can get them at harbor freight.

[@WyldeWoodworks]

Thanks! I bought one a few days ago off Amazon but I havn't had a chance to use it yet

[@mathewstumpf3744]

the bolts going through the wood angle plates would be considered trunnions

[@brw3079]

I can't believe how little wobble you got on such a large disk, with a hand held drill! I get way more on a perfectly aligned drill press table! With a just 6 inch disk! I'm looking forward to a six month reassessment to see if your "liquid chemical shim {glue} holds up in the real world. And the blonde helper? Precious.

[@WyldeWoodworks]

Still holding up great!😁 No issues yet

[@bogmaerke]

Fantastic! Do you reckon it would be difficult to implement a brake, maybe the pulley in the back can be used? I really want to use this design and make one, once I find a motor, then add dust collection through the back via the bottom and out under the table/platform (you use to hold the object you're sanding). I really only want a 90° table, but I guess you could close off the underside using those wavey harmonica-looking way covers.

[@WyldeWoodworks]

I've been looking into a break ever since I built this and the best option seems to be an induction break since that uses the motor itself to break but it's a hard thing to set up. I haven't quite figured it out yet

[@thefreese1]

OK .. I give .. where does the motor get it's fresh air from in order to stay cooled down over long periods of use ?

[@rickmccaskill7888]

What are you doing for dust pickup? Thanks for sharing.

[@WyldeWoodworks]

So far nothing😂😂 It wouldn't be hard to add dust collection underneath

[@milttaylor3898]

Dust collection, especially if you are going to have your child in the shop. Just need to add a plastic collection piece for a shop vac under the articulating table.

[@borisinjac]

how to extract dust from that tool, and where does it accumulate the most?

[@b3arwithm3]

Very nice build mate. The one thing I don't understand is the physics of how the half circle guard around the disc catches the dust and funnels it to the bottom chamber. The dust is produced at the surface of the disc while the guard is flush with the disc. Thanks.

[@WyldeWoodworks]

Thanks! It's just a guard. If I added dust collection it might be able to pull the dust in from the sides but I'm not sure.

[@b3arwithm3]

@@WyldeWoodworks I see this guard on many builds, but I just fail to understand how it helps in catching dust.

[@WyldeWoodworks]

@@b3arwithm3 It's a finger guard. It's not for dust

@@WyldeWoodworks oh I see 😊 then it makes sense. In other videos, they explained as a dust containment improvement

@@WyldeWoodworks you're welcome 😊

[@stephenthomas3364]

Why did you not put a dust extractor port on the side. Otherwise it is a great sander

[@WyldeWoodworks]

It wouldn't be hard at all to add something like that. If you build one, you should do that😁 Personally, I'm not concerned with dust in my shop.

[@johnharden1738]

How is the sandpaper attached?

[@WyldeWoodworks]

It's adhesive backed. I put a link in the description to the sandpaper I use😁

[@allenrothe1406]

Unfortunately I somehow missed how you attached the sandpaper to the disk so that it's removable in the future.

[@WyldeWoodworks]

Sorry. It's sticky backed. It holds strong enough to stay but can be pealed off pretty easy. Check the links in the description😁
