Disc sander build

[Pete O]

I got some 60 grit zirconia paper on this thing this week and, as promised, it absolutely eats wood. Also produces a huge amount of fine sawdust. I made up some feet from some offcuts of delrin so the fridge trolley can get under it. I had two pieces of 40mm delrin, one black and one white, that were both just long enough to get 3 feet out of, so the disc sander has a dark side. The only thing left to do is cut the scrap piece of floorboard to size and fix it to the base, my table saw is buried under a pile of other junk at present so the piece of board can just sit there until I get the table saw cleared. I thought I had a reversing switch somewhere but it seems not- I'll keep an eye out for one at the right price. For now I'm calling it finished.
