30$ VS. 300$ disc sander

Very well done. What RPM does it produce?

Thanks for posting. I am just in the process of making one.I liked your tilting system.

Nice! Very clever… You have to love how useful old washing machine motors are for shop projects.

Nice Ivan!

I’ve been wanting a disc sander for some time. I have an inherited 6” which is basically useless for what I need.

It appears your backing plate is MDF? How has it held up over time?

Looks good Ivan, but has a washing maschine motor enough power?

This is a fine shop built machine. Congratulations.

Ivan, well done. I would like to see a blog or short photo summary on the build. Looks good and I have an old motor left over from a drill press, would be nice to make a dedicated sander like this instead of always sanding on the lathe. How did you mount the plate to the motor? it would also be easier to collect the dust with a disk sander like you have made! thanks for sharing!

Ver nice sander!

-- Think, make and share.

I’d also like to know how the disc plate holds up and what you used. A disc sander has been on my to-build list for quite a while.

-- This is not the signature line you are looking for.

do you have pics of construction?

looks like a nice sander but what about dust collection .
Yes a bit more info would be nice .
The price sounds good and affordable

This is a nice sander. You made it really cheap and it looks very functional.

Excellent work, makes me want to get out and make one instead of buying a new one.
