"Firstly I must say thanks for the
great plans. I have both the No.1 Tube Notcher and the 12" Disc Sander
and have found them great value."
M. T. - New Zealand.
This Disc Sander is designed
with the utmost simplicity of construction in mind. In most instances, the
main parts of the machine can be made from common steel off-cuts found in
the average workshop. It is also very sturdy and there are two
locking levers for the adjustable table instead of the more usual, one.
The table is a generous
450mm wide and 255mm deep and tilts down 46°. The table also incorporates a
channel to accept a standard mitre fence.
The abrasive sanding disc is
enclosed above and below the table by a safety guard to prevent any nasty
accidents.
Virtually any common
base-mount electric motor will be suitable. A ¾ h.p. motor would suffice, but
better results will be seen with a 1-1½ h.p. motor.
The whole machine has a very
small footprint, making it ideal for the home workshop and small factory
alike.
A lathe (or access to one)
is necessary for truing the faceplate.
The only other tools
required are a scriber or craft knife, a tape measure, a compass or
dividers, a setsquare, a centre punch, a jigsaw or bandsaw, a hacksaw or
cut-off saw, a pedestal or hand drill, Ø8.5mm, Ø10.5mm, Ø10.2mm, Ø12mm,
drill bits, Ø20mm hole saw (or one that’s slightly larger than your motor’s
shaft), M8 x 1 and M10 x 1.5 taps, a welder, and an angle grinder and file
for finishing.
