Shopmade woodworking machinery #2: Shopmade oscillating spindle sander: Testing

That’s really cool. If you don’t mind me asking, how much do you have invested in this project?

Sweet! You can’t beat that. Thanks.

Very nice. Is it possible to raise and lower the table to make use of the top part of the spindle?

Thanks for sharing…looks pretty awesome so far : )

Thanx for the nice comments guys
@Ampeater, no the table is fixed.
Also did not se the need for å tilting table.
The top portion of the spindle is only for wide/thick pieces, although the stroke distance can be increased by changing the position of the rod on the off center wheel, have not tried it yet.
Of course the spindledrum could also be reversed upside down to make use of the whole sleeve

What an awesome shop made tool! And it looks like it works perfectly! I stack some scrap to put my workpiece on so I can utilize the whole length of the spindle. Very impressive engineering.I looked at all your shop made tools and they are all things I would be proud to have in my shop.

Thanks gfadvm :-)
Thats also a posibility.
This guy made a double table to stack on.

Of course, since I make the spndles my self, I could make them just 65 mm instead, since the thickest material I normally sand is 30mm, but it is ok to have the long spindles as well.
