Setting up a wood shop in my 2 car garage. #6: V-Drum Sander

Lucky find, I think you will find yourself using it a lot. Like to see more pics when you get your new top made.

Sweet cl score! I have been wanting to build one of those for quite some time. I have a 1750 rpm motor just sitting in the corner of my shop for the day I get one of those.

I think you’ll be happy with your V drum sander. A couple of years ago I bought the Flat Master machine at a woodworking show at Buffalo, NY.
Very nice tool.

That is one cool score. Me and a buddy have been discussing building two of these out of stock materials. What motor size are you running, spindal diameter, pulley ratio, etc, etc. These sanders look like a fine solution of utility vs. expense. Thanks for any input. BTKS
Oh, just got the message you buddied me. Thanks, hope the bandsaw is working out well.

I built one of these last June and i don’t know how i got along without it, i laminated the top out of plywood and covered it with formica. It made a very solid and smooth surface to run my wood on. I bought the parts new from the supplier except for the motor which i found in a local second hand store for $15.00. I just hook my shop-vac to it and it does a great job.

The sander needs a half horse motor.
