Wow I like that Ivan
Great job getting that sander built and it looks like it’s working great .
I have a spindle sander but not with the tilt feature which is something that I would like .

Looks great Ivan. I hope you will have a lot of benefit from it. I,m curious how you have made the sanding drums and what paper you are using?
Thanks for sharing.

Prvo kaj mi je palo na pamet da ti velim za ovaj stroj je…luđak…moram priznat da si napravio mrak stroj…daj malo više detalja…kakvi su motori…i gdje si našao šmirgl i čičak…ja tražim i nisam našao kod nas…i ak nemaš mjesta u svojoj radioni javljam se kao dobrovoljac da ti čuvam stroj…pozdrav i pazi prste

Question: why to go through the trouble of making one when you can buy a perfectly good Rigid for very little money?
Just curious

Could you tell me how you made the wooden rollers/drums and how they hold the spindles in place without compressing like the rubber variety? I recently bought an old spindle sander that’s missing most of the drums and replacements are very expensive.
