Title: Sanders
Post by: mainberg on May 31, 2011, 02:18:26 pm

Are there other brands of flat sanders besides besides the Sand-Flee?

The Sand-Flee is a drum finishing sander.  Stockroom supply sells the components that can be used to build your own.

However, by the time you add a motor, etc. it would cost roughly
the same as a Sand-Flee.  Matthias Wandel has a set of free plans
on his website for a thickness sander that could probably be modified
to make a finishing sander.

This rather neat shop-built thickness sander showed up in Shopnotes issue #86

It's powered off your table saw's motor...
