ditto
Yep, me too. Had previously thought about doing but seeing Skew's plans motivated me to get around to it. Made mine for an 8" disc because as soon as I get a decent lathe this piece of junk will be a permanent sander:mad:

Very good Terry.
How did you attach the sandpaper to the wooden disk.
if it is velcro where did you get a piece this size.
thanks

Gino, I recently built a sanding disc for the lathe along similar lines. Bunnings and Mitre 10 had 175mm self adhesive velcro discs. Also discovered the sanding discs with holes in them weren't too good. They tear at the holes.

discs
G'day Gino
I had a couple of ideas for sanding discs. I reckon if you go to a toy shop and buy one of those "gripper" thingies they have a velcro hook pad that is about 8 inches in daimeter , you know, the ones that you use to catch a fluffy tennis ball.
On my sander plate I used a sheet of aluminium for the face and use adhesive discs from a panel beaters/spray painters supplier. They are made to stick well but easily removed without leaving glue behind and much cheaper and better quality than anything from bunnings.
Cheers

G'day Skew,
I have a similar disc on my lathe, and I've added your "table" idea..Thank you. It was a bit "iffy" using the tool rest.
The velcro stuff is OK but is sometimes is supplied with "double sided" backing which is not good.
So, I've gone back to normal paper applied with the same glue that they use in shearing sheds to apply paper to the "experting machine" which they use to sharpen their combs and cutters.Two types Nortons and another starting with "H" (Heiffer or something)
Available from Elders or CRT or any "farmy" type place - cheap as!
Comes off with a hair dryer or heat gun, and if the new paper is prepared with glue prior to removal of the old sheet, the residual heat is sufficient to apply the new sheet.
I have several discs pre-papered with different grades, and I've even got a "coarse" one that they use in shearing sheds.
I use it to seat axe or splitter handles..removes wood VERY fast.
Regards,
Noel
