That’s what I thought Bob I just thought I would see if anyone had made one.

I think a couple people have built one. But it looks pretty new to me, looks interesting though.

I can see it being very useful… almost like a Shooting Board!

I think I would Make one before spending $140+ for it…

Some MDF… bearing, etc.
Doesn’t look all that bad to me…

Hi AJ
You could put one together and see how it works?

Jim, if you make one use a heavy flywheel

it then can build momentum

Hey Joe
As you can see I’m trying to talk someone into making one to have them tell me what to look out for when I build one:)) Pretty lazy huh?

No, I don’t now how to put one together.

I would rather buy one at HF.
At $ 50/hour you can one or two by the time you are done making one and buying the material.
Around $45 after 20% off

Never seen one like that before… Looks to be something easy to build except how would you weight the flywheel / sanding wheel?

I have one and it works like a charm.

And where do you plug it in ?
Seriously, looks like a cool, portable sand disc that might be used for one time jobs.

The only way I would use something like that is if someone else was turning the crank for me.

It looks like Jim is turning “green” on us.

I guess your the same as me AJ you wanting to see how some one else did it LOl
I already have a disk sander Bert but this has the advantage of having a lot of control as to how much you take off.
db I was wondering about that since I haven’t seen one in person. I was also wondering if anyone sells the little adjustment pins they show in the video.
Jay is the wheel that holds the sanding disc heavy ?
