Also the motor is now 4.3A (instead of 6A) and the manual says 1/2hp. I'll post those results in that thread.īy the way, the newer model of that sander here: has the same part number but looks very different! The disc size is smaller 6" (instead of 8") and the unit seems to use more plastic.so I don't know if my modifications would work on the newer model. The frame is still plenty strong.and I was able to try Mikey's method of shaping lathe tools. Ready to use with the little table installed: Those clamps are directly over the three cross supports in the c-shaped frame. Then I could use the very edge of the belt! If I could remove some material in this area: So again I cannot get anywhere near it.unless. The table does tilt down, but the disc is recessed in that ring. (sorry the background is so "busy".I have a way too much crammed into my 20'x20' garage!) My machine is a Mastercraft 55-3554-4 120V, 6A, 4x36" belt and 8" disc sander.ĭespite the make, it's the fact that you may need to spin the belt by hand to get it to start spinning rather than sitting there and humming. (used without permission from page 4 of Mikey's thread here: ) It won't allow doing the top face of the lathe tool like shows: The problem is that my current bench sander doesn't let me get anywhere near the edge of the sanding disc or belt. I've done alright using a bench grinder in the past for shaping my lathe tools, but I wanted to try method he posted about here:
