Mini Drum Sander
Description
This Is A Mini Drum Sander That I'M Working On That Will Allow Me To Sand Small Parts With Just The Power Of My Impact Driver/Hand Drill. The Design Is Centered Around Using A 1/4 Sheet To Optimize Paper Usage. The Sheet Is Wrapped Around The Drum And Then A Wedge Of Some Sort (Still Need To Figure Out The Wedge A Bit) Is Shoved Into The Slot In The Drum To Hold It Taut. Parts: 2 Walls 2 Bearing Clamps 2 Bearings 1/2"Id 1-1/8"Od X 5/16 Thickness 1 Shelf 1 Drum 1 Hex Drive A Ton Of Various Length 10-32 Or 10-24 Bolts And Appropriate Washers A (Recommending Plywood) Base To Screw The Walls To Current Concerns: 1- I'Ve Left 5-Thou Tolerances In Most Places Which I'M Hoping Is The Right Amount For No Slop, But Also, If Things Are A Bit Off Level Between The Drum And The Bearings, One Could Strategically Place Some Blue-Tape Around Parts Of The Bearings To Raise One Side By A Few Thou To Help Level As Needed. 2- Although Using The Hex-Drive Is Handy As It Means You Don'T Have To Buy A New Motor To Run This Tool, I'M Not Sure If Having To Use One Hand To Control The Drill-Driver Will Make Using This Too Hard. A- I Have Therefore Made The Driver-Part A Plug That Goes Into The Drum With A Large Hex-Insert So That If Needed, New Drive Mechanisms Can Be Designed. 3- I Envision Putting The Table Into Place And Then Locking It Down Against The Walls From The Sides In The Slot. However, This Doesn'T Allow For Micro-Adjust. Suggestions On Developing A Micro-Adjust Mechanism Are Welcome.
