Simo Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I want something to sand the areas that my bench mounted belt sander can't reach (i.e. inside the horns, curves etc) I realise a spindle sander is the ideal bit of kit for this but sadly I don't think my budget can stretch that far So I need some ideas for a cheaper method. I was thinking about a drill press with a drum sanding attachment? or maybe even a router table with a drum sander attached?? What do you guys reckon?

jammy Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Drill press with the drum sanding attachment is the normal method, works fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveq Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I think the router table (using a router) would be too fast. I use my drill press for shaping the horn areas of the body and it works very well. I made a cutout in a piece of wood so that the drum can get a bit below the body - allowing the entire side of the body to be sanded in one pass. The body sits on top of the piece of wood. I think a lot of people do this. Let me know if I'm not being clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
