You know, I've wanted a wide drum sander for years.
If you hadn't noticed, they are expensive, and REALLY bulky.
The part of my noggin that spends far too much time around engineers started thinking (I should know that is a warning sign!), I've got this big horizontal spinning thing with an electric motor... (A.K.A. the lathe). Why not build some sort of jig to use the equipment you have for this?)
So has anyone here done a drum sander / jig for a lathe yet? Am I the only nutcase to have this thought?
I would imagine with that paltry 3/4HP of the lathe I would have to do very fine passes, but that's okay by me...
