Hi Joe
Well here's a small update, it's 99% done but I did run into a error that I need to fix today ,that is a out feed device, after removing stock it needs a small item on the out put side to get it to work right just like a jointer plus I want to add a fence to keep it sq. when I use it like a jointer, I think I'm going to use some black 1/16" thick vinyl stock on the out feed end.

I did rip the sand paper on the drum roller so I need to replace that today ,I wanted to see if I could jam the roller and see what would fail 1st. and now would be the time to fix it.

All in all I would give it 4 stars out of 5, I did make a error when I made the top part, I put the slot for the roller on the back side of the top and it should be in the center of the top but I was trying to fix the out feed on the top,

when you remove stock you need someting to support the new size (thickness) so I made a out feed table top but it's a bit to low, the vinyl should fix that.

I will post a picture or two once I have the shop clean again I have wood and tools all over the place on this project.

Just a side note, I just got a copy of the Jasper Cir.jig and it's great little hole jig, my son had one at work and made a copy of it by drilling 126 holes in some 1/2" MDF stock.
Then once I got it from him I drilled 32 more holes, for a total of 158 so now it can do 5" to 18 15/16" .

Hi Joe

Here are some snapshots of the Drum Sander plus a snapshot of the Jasper cir.jig my son drill out the center hole so I put in a plastic plug in with a 3/4" I.D. to use the brass guide, that just drops in the jig, with the plastic insert in place no need to bolt the jig to the router now , it can also be used on the router table by using the brass guide system and no fence needed.

Just a note *** by using a bigger brass guide and a vac. pickup on the router the chips will be pulled out the bottom that should help cutting cir. on the router table.

Bob,

Thank you very much... looks pretty good & simple.

Why do you need that circle jig for this project? For the dust collection hose?

**bobj3** · 11-24-2006, 08:39 PM

Hi Joe

Cir.Jig, no I just got lazzy someone ask how to make circles on the router table and I put it in this post and the 1st.time I told him it would be hard but with this jig it's easy with a bigger brass guide and a good vac. system off the base of the router in the table mount, Just lazzy on my part I guess

that I didn't recall who it was for sure

.

Vac port,just a hole saw will do that quick and easy.

Joe just a note**** I had 7 old computer desks around and now I have 6 that's what I used for the sanding drum table to start with.

Bob & All,

I'm looking for a motor for the 18" drum sander... 1/2 HP.

I found this on Harbor Frt... do you think it's junk? Will it last awhile?
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=92105

There is a Baldor on eBay... nice... but $114 + frt which I know would be good... at about twice the cost.

Decisions... decisions...

Any other good motors out there?

How is your sander working so far... happy with it?

Hi Joe

I used the Grizzly one below because it was a Enclosed type and it would be working in dust cabinet so to speak,the dust box is just about a 1 1/2 " from the motor,and I rate motors by the amps. they pull that tells me a lot about the motor.
I have a had good luck with Grizzly motors in the pass.

I'm not sure about HF motors I have not used one >.

* Type: Enclosed
* Size: 1/2 HP
* RPM: 1725
* AMPS @ 110V / 220V: 8.8 / 4.4

Full 1 Year Warranty!

http://www.grizzly.com/products/G2528

The sander is working great

, I was going to fire up the joint and the planer and I said OK lets see what this thing can do , Works great for both jobs.
I need to spend more time with it to keep out the snipe out on the end when I come off of it, like most tools, time,time,time with the tool.

JOE just a note ,,, the kit will come with 2 pulleys both are 1/2" I.D. so you will need to get a 5/8" I.D. one for the motor you should get a 2" OD one.

I was wondering about that too...

angus · 11-28-2006, 10:22 PM

Well Im sure glad that I'm not the only one who noticed this. It's kinda amazing that on a router forum we can argue about the use of a tack rag, have word games, wood turning thouhts and ideas, or other venues that have no relation to the use of a router, but cannot keep a subject related and or referring to a router keep within the cofines of the subject.

Im sure I'll be critized for this, but hey it's not the first time. I really feel that the Router Forum is straying from it's original consept - to bad, I personally thought it's conception was great, but I and others I've contacted feel we're straying, is it due to lack of support or interest? Look at the repeat postings 2-3 4 weeks after the original- is this because there is not enough postings to keep fresh thoughts or ideas.
