My Disk Sander built

Hi everybody.

At last I have finished my disk sander.
I've been wanting for a big one for a long time (I have a little 150mm diameter one, way too small), I had everything to do one but never took the time to do it.
I must admit it took more time than I expected ...

It is a model entirely inspired by John Heisz's one. I looked for several ideas in the database, but I felt John's design was very clever, especially for the table pivot system.
So I did exactly like him.

Here it is :

I have an article showing in details how it is built :

Very cool. I love the pivoting table!

This thread has been moved to the Must Read subforum. Congrats (and thanks) to Christophe for making such a valuable contribution!

Brilliant machine, congratulations.

Good build. Simplistic in nature but well built, finished well and can see the benefits it will provide.
I'm sure many proud hours were involved.

Hello Christophe;
I am new to this group so I'm unfamiliar to how things work. I was wondering if you had plans available for building this sander. You have some serious engineering skills! I think that you did some very nice work on this sander and I am in need of a larger one myself.

Thanks Christophe,

I did'nt see that disk sander built article before. I just added it to ( too long :-( ) to do list !

Thanks also for the "wahshing machine motor wiring" document, which is very usefull.

Regards.
