small sander

[TKO]

Hi .I thought this might be a useful tool when you need to sand down small pieces of timber,this Idea was passed on to me from a Master modeler from another forum I knocked this up out of the scrap box, the motor is a bit on the large size but it was all I had, I had a smaller moter on but was not really big enough so I used this one,this little sander will sand timber down to less than a 1 mm I only had a rough sketch to make it from ,and would not be with out it, the photos show the rear of it could not get the front view to load with top fitting for vacum can give measurements if wanted

Looks good.

What is the gizmo to the left of the sander?

Hi Bobl, tool next to sander is a Raymac tool and cutter grinder I made from Model engineer work shop magazine
back in 2001 I think it was.

That is a useful looking machine you have created there Eddie.
Thanks for posting, it may end up with a cousin in the future.

I would love to have one just that size. Great little sander. Well done!

That's a little beauty Eddie.
If I didn't already have a wide drum sander, I'd be building one like your's.
How do you hold the paper on the drum? Velcro?

Thanks Uncle Al, PLD,Hermit,The paper is held on with two small screws which are let in at both ends ,as the paper is wound on at a angle,
