Does anyone know if there is an attachment that I can put on my drill press to make it an "oscillating" spindle sander?

Thanks!

I have one made by Delta, but I don't think it is in production at this time. I was lucky enough to find it new in the box but previously owned at a local hardwood/hardware store. It actually works quite well and I have the advantage of changing the speed to whatever I want. It only takes two thumbscrews to mount or dismount and when on it reduces the overall depth I can drill by about 3/4". I often leave it in place and just remove the drive belt when it is not in use.

At D'Yankee: I am looking for a drill press attachment that will oscillate the sanding drums you referenced. Thanks though.

handystanley, did you ever find what you were looking for. I recently upgraded from the delta oscillating sander attachment on my drill press to the jet bench top version and have the attachment for sale. I know it fits the delta drill press and I think there were some other collars that would work on other size quills. If you are still interested please send me a message with an email and I can send some pictures and more information. I would have sent you a direct message but I need 5 posts before I can send a message. And I just became a lumberjocks member because I found your question when I googled "oscillating spindle sander attachment for drill press" to try and find out a reasonable price.

Since I originally posted my question…sometime ago…other remodeling and family priorities preceded my issue. Shop Notes did come out the plans for one recently….interested in seeing what you have. My email address is handystanley@gmail.com.

Thanks!
