Disc Sander

Synonyms: disk sander; DE: Tellerschleifer, Schleifteller
Status: under construction
Material: wood

Lukas will try to build a disc sander that is driven by the "Güde 1000" wood lathe! It should not be that hard to do but the awkward work angle may be a disadvantage.

Important preparations:

  • find out which maximum size would fit on the lathe - 320 mm according to its wiki page
  • find out which sizes of sanding discs (Schleifscheiben) are common and affordable in that range - 250 mm (approx. 10") looks good
  • make or get a faceplate for the lathe (in progress)
  • apply velcro disc
  • start sanding

Speed

Comparable tools are run with speeds between 250 and 750 m/min. Therefore, only the lowest speed of the lathe should be used to drive the sanding disc (850 rpm -> approx. 667 m/min at the edge).

Cleaning

Sandpaper can be restored a few times before it is used up by briefly sanding a piece of rubber! Instead of proper cleaning sticks you can apparently get great results with the sole of an old shoe - any donors? ;-)
