Disk Sander with sliding table

Very neat project.

The table is well sized, the table being too small is often a problem with disc sanders. Not so here. As long as you keep an eye on brush wear your motor should be OK as well.

By the way, how do you change the sanding disc?

Looks like it works to me. Good going!

-- Backer boards, stop blocks, build oversized, and never buy a hand plane--

A sliding table is a great idea!

Hi Brit and Paul,,
I have replaced the last two photos so that you can look at how the disc can be replaced.
The disk consists of two platters, one is attached to the driving shaft with
flange, the other platter is stacked with 4 screws thru from the back side of the platter.
4 insertion nuts are buried into the front platter from back side so that the front surface of
the platter can be flawless(no holes on the sanding surface). I hope this can be the answer to your questions.

Thats clear now, thanks.
