Looking for plans.

[Mark Stewart]

I need a thickness sander (or a drum sander) cash is low but I have seen some youtube vids on using lathe as a drum sander. I was wondering if any of you folks might have a set of plans laying arouns some where.

Thanks Mark

I have this; I was thinking about this once upon a time. I will not be building one and would be happy to pass the issue along.

Wow that one that works off the table saw is cool.

Seams like in the model airplane world everyone buys all there tools and gadgets these days. I need to study up on making more of these things my self.

The ShopNotes plan detail on using the TS is a pretty simple concept. You just put a couple of parts on the arbor instead of a saw blade, pull the insert or make one with a wide opening and run a belt through it. It would be pretty simple to put it on a stand and mount a motor under it instead. And making a mount for the bed of a lathe and driving it with the headstock instead is probably doable also.

I found a plan for this but just drawings no dementions.
