    Smile How to Make a Belt Sander Holder for Your Lathe - Tiny and Simple!



    Good morning everyone,

    I built a simple support for polishing the cylindrical surfaces on the lathe, it is useful to avoid getting close to the piece with gloves (not in safety) but also to remove cents for the assembly of a bearing for example.( it also depends on the grit of the sandpaper, 80,240,400 etc)

    The parts to pay attention to are the seats for the Delrin wheels (by screwing the pins the wheels get the right play to rotate and the pin is screwed up to the support of the counterbore and no more)

    The interlocking millings are also important, to finally obtain a precise coupling between the vertical and horizontal parts!

    I hope you like it,

    A big Ciao from Italy !!
    Alberto.

    Ciao Ulrich, i understand what you mean and thanks for your message: but i think also that it exist the “ to clean” the lathe, that I do every time I use my lathe; and i will use this device when I will have to polish a surface for a bearing and I don’t make bearing shaft every day, while it only takes once to get really hurt..!

    Ciao from Italy,
    Alberto.

    yes ! If done by yourself, you could present it here (if not already done ), small simple tools are often the most successfull
    Cheers !
