Hello, I am in the process of planning for my first guitar, only tool I realy need is a bobin sander. My old fella has most the other stuff, a bandsaw, planner, routers and plenty of clamps ect... Anyway i am thinking about making a bobin sander out of a washing machine motor. My bro who's a mechanic geek reckons that you can get variable speed ones so speed should not be a problem and I found a bobin that will fit on a 5/8 shaft. Might even go as far as fitting a chuck on it. The idea being I can fit it under a bench and poke the bobin through.
Has anyone else tried anything like this or is it a bad idea? I think it needs to run at around 1200 rpm, fairly slow, does that sound right?
cheers, :-)
