According to all these comments, that machine surely must have killed you by now. I like the machine and figure you're quite alive and well. Cheers.

Got any plans for how you built it? I would like to make one my self.

[Miner4aheartofgold]

I hope you put a cover on this. Its almost a bad idea to show it being used without a cover.

I didn't read all the comments, maybe this has been thoroughly beaten into the ground! :-)

Did you hear about the Harvard student who recently flunked his IQ test by getting

his hair caught in a lathe?

[woodentoolcompany]

Sounds like it is running nice and smooth! Great job!

I built one almost the same Like a twin. You really need a dust hood with a vac to control dust . the dust is Bad for your health

Also the if you don't remove the dust build up it throws the thickness of the wood off .

Simply bend 1/8 plywood around two round end pieces in the middle a block of wood with a hole sized to sung the vac hose in place. Its really simple to do .

All the best to you

[cornflakesnwater]

do you have plans for ur sander???

[hjones1]

Nice work.

[deweys]

Very cool! Have you added a dust collector hood?

[franckotirador1]

hey nada mal asi se evoluciona eres intelijente hombre

[nickpeeeeeee]

what power is your motor ?

[nonamenowwhat]

Anyone know how the drum was made?

[nickpeeeeeee]

my sander project is well under way but the small motor i have [ spec unknown ] is far too weak,.. i can hold the pulley wheel still with one hand so not nearly strong enough for the project. does anyone know the ideal horse power / kw and RPM for a drum sander ????

[BlueMacGyver]

@nickpeeeeeee It's just a guess but I would venture to say 3/4 horse power 120v because its so small. They come commonly in 1/4 1/2 and 3/4 in that size range. It's the ratio of pulley wheels you really need to know in conjunction with the size of sanding wheel. Look up Pulley ratio calculator on Google, sorry if this info comes too late.

[OldSchoolChinny]

So you set the thickness via the tilt of the feed-table?

[nickpeeeeeee]

hi, where did you find such an ideal drum for the project ?.. i'm inspired to make my own but having trouble finding a drum. it seems photocopiers havs an alluminium drum that might be usable..

[johncharnock]

Hi - Where did you get the drum that teh sandpaper sits on ?

[nhojcam]

nice job! do you have a shopping list for the hardware you can share? also, what is the drum made of and how do you attach the sand paper?

[DatBluesGuy]

A great tool. But build a housing for the drum -- from wood, plexi- or even furnace ducting -- it will save you the misery you'd have after losing a test of your reaction time, pitted against the speed of the drum.

[Lampi100]

hey that's a fine mashine!

but be careful with your shirt:)

[endlessuke]

Thank you! And thanks for the advice. Getting my shirt caught in the drum would cause considerable excitement.
