Hi All
I decided to build a 15 inch disc sander after watching a you tube video by Jords Woodshop.
I liked the idea of using the lathe head as I can change the speed of the sander.
Mine is built slightly different to Jords and I also included dust collection which works really well.
I bought the discs from Hare and Forbes, they have a stick on velcro backing disc and 3 different grit sanding discs to choose from.
I used 18mm plywood as the disc. I would prefer to use an aluminium disc. I may try to chase one up in the future.
I used 16mm MDF which was lying around my shed and a sheet of masonite to build the rest.
Cost me about $70 all up.
I was very happy with the end result. It works great.
Considering it costs over $1000 to buy a 15 inch disc sander I think i did well.
Here are some photos of the build process.
