Hi
I hope someone can clarify this for me... Is there a reason why one would choose to use a disc sander rather than a vertical belt sander with table? Seems like it does the exact same thing?
I ask because it would suit me far better to modify the plans to house a belt sander rather than disc sander, both for ease of access (lathe will be up against wall with no option to reach disc sander from side without swinging out entire lathe) and when reducing vibration during turning.
All i would need to so is remove the belt to reduce vibration rather than the entire disc and table?
Thanks
Clauds

hello Clauds,
If you try a disc sander, you will want it for your workshop. Ideally I will have both tools, but if I have to choose I prefer the disk sander.
You can use wheels on the lathe's stand so you can use the disc sander easily.

Great, thank you...
Do you see any issues with putting a 90 degree attachment and having the disk facing the front?

Something like this works on high speed drills and is full steel... And easier for most to get ahold of...
But if thats not good enough, I can get 90 degree gearboxes like this... (sealed of course)

Hi guys,
Anyone know where I can get a decent disk / belt sander for 4130 tubing?
