Disk Sander For Your Lathe

Very interesting…

Great work Ted, a very useful lathe addition. Your dust control idea is wonderful too. I also have a 12” one that mounts on my lathe and has the hook and loop. I don’t have a table on mine as I use it mainly to flatten rings for segmented turnings which require access to the whole disk area. I have a 12” disk sander with a table for other work.

I do think the lathe mounted sander with a table can be just as useful as a disk sanding machine, but you could make a tilting table for it with a slot for a miter gauge, if you wish to make it even more useful for general woodworking.

I love when a woodworker makes his own tool modifications!

Great idea Ted. Maybe add a leather perimeter on the disc for honing?

hey can you please add the photo of the back I want to know how you atached it to the lathe this is a recommended use in a deltagram issue on power tool usage I guess delta used to sell a disk for doing this in the olden days then they stopped selling it and made the specialty sander how did you thread the wood I now see the back kind of

I need to make one of those. I gave away a perfectly good 12” diameter BB ply disk to a fellow woodworker here in the coast area to build one. He simply attached it to a cheap HF faceplate.

I would LOVE to know where you got the hook and loop pad and disks from…

Add leather for a honing disk? Now that’s a multi-tool! Great idea!
