Hot pictures
G'day all !
Now the table is reinforced & blocked with a pair of F clamps (to ensure the parallelism with drum)
And under the table you can see reinforcements:
Absolutely, next step is drum final calibration

Shaft idea
Hello all,
Being employed in a jd dealership as parts manager you always see parts that you think.... well I could use that to make my next machine....
The thought I had for a drum for the sander is a ruberrized or non ruberized baler roller! VERY strong and also machined true!
you could easily drive it from a pulley as there is already a place for a sprocket on the end!
the only thing is would be that you would have one giant roller about 6 feet long, but on the flipside it wouldnt take long to sand a dining room table top!!!!
Or you could also use a windrower (swather) canvas roller that is a lot smaller in length but still steel so very little flex.
Anyone wanting pics of these above mentioned items to get a better idea of what they look like or what they are let me know!
thanks all
Nathan

Do you like my drum sander?
What do you think about the color combinations sky-blue + blue ?

I recon you are going to need some bigger dust extraction ports..... I'd be thinking, 2 x 100mm.
cheersAny thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

That is awesome, you are very skilled to do that and I like the finish. One thing puzzles me though, How do you hold the paper on the drum? Is it just wrapped and held at either end by the hose clamps? No glue, velcro etc?
very interested
