You may have given a second life to my piece of junk Grizzly 1634 lathe. I got so tired replacing parts, I just bought a Powermatic, and glad I did.

I have not found anyone that I hate enough to sell it to, so it remains as a speed bump/ shelf.

Nice one, likely will draw a lot of attention on the site. I've seen a ton of table saw powered sanders but don't recall a lathe being used before. I can't imagine my lathe (mini with extension) could handle it. I know I sure would love a drum sander as sanding sucks for lack of a better word.

Now this is brilliant! I am tight on space and this would be a great build to combine tools. I love the fact that you don't have to worry about the drum being centered since your using centers! I might change beef up the raise and lower rod so that there can't be a twist, but still very cool! Great Job!

Doh! Having used my lathe motor in the making of my sander I now realise I could have kept the lathe. I like your ingenuity.

Great idea, two tools in one. Good post.

I keep thinking those sanders would take the wood and throw it but your video didn't show you fighting it.

Very cleaver to say the least. Well done.

Can anyone help me find the pad that is glued to the drum to attach the "hook and loop" sandpaper strips to?

I'd appreciate it!
