I found an old water pump, or actually, half of it.
Reused it to disc sander.
Idea in this video, is to show how to make an adapter that allows one to use angle grinder backings with diy disc sander. This makes possible to change backing harder, smaller or softer if needed. Sander runs at 2800-3000rpm speed. There's a typing mistake on the video, 5000 supposed to be 3000.

Congratulations Tuomas - your Disc Sander is the Homemade Tool of the Week!
Nice re-use of a water pump, and the little rest is useful too, but the real utility here is that you can use angle grinder pads.

Btw. Here roloc pads has an insert. When its removed, there's M14 thread and it fits to 125mm angle grinder. Also to my bench grinder.Quote:

I made a stand for my diy disc sander. Mounting allows to turn sander to point different directions in 90 degree steps.
I also made workpiece support plate little bigger.
