Project Information

I have been wanting a OSS for a long time, but never made the purchase, since low end OSS are not available here in Norway.
I could never justify spending 800usd on a OSS.
Then it is of to the pile in the corner of the shop to get some parts to build one

Here are some pictures of the build for those who have not read the blog.
I think this sollution of posting projects are more down my alley than blogging. But we will se on the next projects. Here it is, and there are some more text to be read on the blog here and here

A dry run video:

And a short video of it in use:

I'd never guess it's a shop built unit from its outside looks! Congrats mate :)

WOW, after seeing some of your guys projects, I think I`ll stick to machine building, and let you guys handle the fine woodworking:)

Thank you: michelletwo, a1Jim, woodworm, Bertha, SPHinTampa, crank49, syeret, Sodabowski and Jamie Speirs
The nice comments inspire to make more woodworking machinery.
And I have a couple ideas in the back of my head.
Again thanx for the nice comments everybody.:)

Looks great. I haven't seen an OSS at any price here in Thailand so I might have to copy this myself sometime.

Great!
Could you please post information on the gear ratios, or source the type of motor.

Anyone can make a suggestion….

Very sharp Cory, nicely executed. I agree, you would never know it was shop made to look at it.

I'll build a LOT of things/tools, but not an OSS. Nice job on yours though.

Well thought out industrial grade engineering, and very well done too. Now you have a good sander for life.
