Project Information


Here is the sanding drum I was talking about in my last post and video
http://lumberjocks.com/projects/307794
and I added a pattern sanding feature to be used on the drill press to be able to sand several identical pieces using a pattern .
Watch the video and I will explain the details .

Klaus, that is a new direction in sanding. This will have great value for those certain projects. I could of used this for my miter saw insert last month. Don't know about me gluing sandpaper on a drum, may not be enough sandpaper showing to do anything. LOL. I do have a project requiring a 6'' drum, I think I will have to try it.

Hey Klaus. I heard Benchy barking at the beginning of the video. It's true. When you build things, they come alive.

Grizzly used to have a smaller pneumatic one of these that I used for years. It finally died and when I checked back they no longer have that. They do have a larger one but it is very hard to figure out how to order just the arbor for it so that one attach it to a drill.

The reason the smaller pneumatic one was great was because you could let some of the air out and the soft contour was great for sanding outside radius.

Great! Another option for drum sanding! More very clever stuff from a great mind that thinks outside the box…
Well done Klaus!

Very informative, I liked the way you determined the angle of the belt. simple with no measurements. I have measured the diameter of the drum and calculated the circumference, used that measurement on the diagonal. I also liked the bearing support.

Just be sure to run the drill press at very low RPM with a large drum or I will send Benchy over !

Joe
The idea is to get a smooth surface and no tare out which you may get with a router bit .

Thomas
I will wait for your comment .
I used to have a 4"drum like that but it was made for a lathe application but it may be possible to make a soft drum .

There is always the need for another tool for a certain job and I love playing with ideas.

Brian
This is the simple way to do it and I posted a while ago a way to do it like you mention to make my own sanding sleeves http://lumberjocks.com/projects/165410

Thanks all for your comments as it always helps .
