Hey Everyone,:gar-Bi
Just wanted to get your thoughts and ideas. :notworthy: I was thinking of using my lathe as a Drum/Thickness Sander for flat work,:widea: as it does have a motor and spins!
Then I would make a bed to attach to the lathe bed and then add DC to the top? What do you think, can it be done? :gar-Bi
Does the HF have enough power for this? :icon_scra
Here's a link for a smaller application, But I was thinking more of 25"+:eusa_thin

Here's a Lathe Drum sander a little bigger, but still not as big as I want:

Also I was thinking of calling Grizzly and ordering a drum from the parts manual and attaching it to my lathe....Then I would get 37" of sanding area, and Grizzly is relatively cheap on there parts::eusa_thin
