Orbital Sander "SPIN-DOWN" Stand (CHECK OUT THE VIDEO)

I have seen similar setup but yours is better.

Neat idea.

Yesss. I want one .

Yes, I can see how the 15 second wait time could put one over the edge….........

Good idea and….............it makes sense!

What an excellent idea to get rid of some scraps.

Great idea – I would imagine you can also leave the sander running and park it in the jig to flip your work piece over and such…...

Was that in the same project book as your router bit changer?
I made one of those and it worked nicely. I finally just sold it when I bought the PC model that stops quickly.
Your additions to the one in the book make yours more user friendly.
Nice job.

Very nice holder…I like the features that you added : )

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

OK, at first I thought this was silly, but watching the video and seeing how long your orbital dances around before it comes to a stop…it does make sense. I could see me putting down the sander before it was done, and it walking off the bench and cracking the case.

about waiting 15 seconds…when you’re working at the speed of thought (meaning that in your head you’re seeing each and every step and you’re already mentally on the next step), your tools shouldn’t be what’s slowing you down, nor breaking your rhythm…the only things that should slow you down is safety, and maybe fatigue. :)

Seems like a good idea. On mine, I let it spin down a couple seconds then lay it sideways on the bench while still rotating. It’s still a bit awkward, so I might have to make a similar jig.

Great idea and I will build one .

There is nothing like a new jig that works well. Well done mate

Very nice and well done. Another LJ who likes tools! All is in the details. Great job.

Best,

Nice idea I have been working with orbital sanders a lot lately and hate to have to wait for it to stop spinning. I need to make one of them.
