Disc sander or vertical belt sander mod?
Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2018 4:22 pm
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
