Dad's Spindle Sander

Recommended Posts

Well my dad, a tool and die machinist built this back in the 40s.

I used it a-lot back  in the day in the late 60s and on my 1st. guitar builds.

It gos up and down 1-1/2" and the sanding drum would shake a-lot at it's hight point.

Rather than buying a small new one I ended up mounting a top bearing which resolved the shaking problem.

Plus it's kind of cool knowing I used on my 1st guitar builds.
