A Dewalt grinder can be used as a sander, but it is not the ideal tool for the job. Grinders are designed to grind, not to sand. However, in a pinch, a grinder can be used to remove paint or rust from metal.
A grinder can work as a sander if it has the right attachments. The most common type of attachment is a sanding disc, which can be attached to most grinders.
You can use a drill press as a spindle sander by attaching a spindle sander attachment to the drill press. The spindle sander attachment will have a sanding drum that will rotate. You can then use the drill press to sand different materials.
Spindles are the part of the spinning wheel that the yarn is wound around. They can be made of wood, metal, or plastic. Over time, they can become worn out from use. Replacing a spindle is not difficult, and there are many different types and sizes available. You can find them at most craft stores or online. When choosing a replacement, make sure it is the same size and type as the original. Spindles can last for many years with proper care. Be sure to clean and oil them regularly to keep them in good condition

The 5 Amp motor in the WEN variable speed handheld oscillating spindle sander should be plenty for all of your needs. The spindle's changeable speed ranges from 1800 to 3200 RPM, and it oscillates 50 to 90 times per minute. These sanding sleeves (1/2 in., 3/4 in., 1 in., and 1-1/2 in.) and three rubber drums (3/4", 1 In., and 1-1/2 In.) are included in the kit. It comes with two clamps so you may mount it on any solid surface. It only takes a little rigging to collect dust. This is incredibly useful, I wish I had it years ago! I had considered a different brand, but I could not justify it at three times the cost. Its first task was to "fix" a few tenons that had been improperly trimmed.

I was glad to find this tool since it allows me to shape and sand the edges while maintaining a nice 90 degree corner when I do some laminated woodworking. In that regard, this worked incredibly well and helped me avoid spending a lot of time sanding. I didn't mount it to any work surfaces; I used it while holding it in my hand. I put a lot of effort into the first sander I acquired, sanding a laminated edge that was 2-3/4" thick. That is about the extent of what this sander is capable of. For around 20 minutes, everything went smoothly before the sander stopped vibrating. It continued to rotate and sand. The handhold next to the spindle was also growing warm, I noted. I gave the sander some time to cool before trying again. After disappearing for about two minutes, the oscillation returned. I ordered another sander from Amazon after returning the first. This one is working fine so far. The sander has different spindle sizes, as indicated. The only issue with it is that the smallest spindle is smaller than the shoulder nut that holds the spindle on, which restricts the thickness of the material you can work on without running into the nut during oscillations. The biggest spindle is where the other problem lies. The supplied washer, which is placed on the spindle before the sanding drum, is not nearly large enough in diameter to catch the sanding sleeve, allowing the sand paper to slip on the drum. I manually tightened the nut as much as I dared, but I was unable to get the drum to grip the sleeve firmly enough to prevent it from coming off. Because the nut is plastic, I didn't want to use a tool on it. It works, but you frequently have to pause and adjust the sleeve. I wrote to Ejwox about this in hopes that they would start using a washer that was a little bit larger on the sander, but they never got back to me.The sander functions pretty well except from those two problems. When looking for handheld oscillating spindle sanders online, I found that multiple businesses sell the identical product, each of which has it painted in their brand's distinctive hue. Evidently, someone manufactures this and sells it to other businesses, which may be the reason Ejwox didn't respond to my email since they don't appear to be the ones that make the sander. It is a good tool to have in my shop for the price I paid for it, and I suggest giving it a try if you work with wood in any way.

It works well for me when I use it to sand the interior curves of wooden toy pieces. For a few reasons, I gave it a 4 rating. The inserts don't reach the top of the table entirely. When starting at the end of a larger section or smaller pieces, this creates a sight lip that catches them. The inserts are similarly not secured; they are just placed in the table. The largest washer offered for the bigger spindles and sleeves does not fit the arbor, either. Washers are accessible locally, but one would anticipate that the tool would also include the necessary components. The sleeves and spindles are simple to replace, which is a plus.

My 800 watt, 110 volt water-cooled spindle operates flawlessly. This is my second Huanyang VFD; the first was fried when the spindle became stuck while cutting a piece of wood, spun the workpiece, used too much power, and burned out before I could turn it off. When I put the power back on, a sizable resistor on the PCB started smoking since it had tripped the breaker. I'm learning how to operate a CNC machine on my own, and I obviously still have a lot to learn.Even though its failure was almost probably my fault, I had been using the prior VFD for about a year without any problems. It was replaced by this one; both have the same serial number, and from what I can determine, every electronic component on the PCBs is the same. Everything started working correctly again after wiring it and setting the parameters. Although they weren't essential this time, the vendor provided some additional instructions and a YouTube video, which I wish I had had the first time I put up my VFD. Previously, I had to spend hours reading forums to figure out how to properly connect and program it.

Since I make a lot of curved cuts for templates among other things, I decided I needed a spindle sander. I looked at a Harbor Freight model and some reviews on Amazon before deciding to purchase this specific item.In the end, I was unable to locate a sander in that price range that was probably better. Additionally, for whatever reason, I believed Shop Fox to be a US company, which may have been true, but it found out that the sander was manufactured in China, which isn't always a problem with the quality.I first encountered rubber drums, which concerned me. I'm utilizing the 3" drum primarily due to bends with higher radiuses. therefore I installed that as my first. Unfortunately, I was unable to sufficiently tighten the (M10-1.25) nut to create friction against the sandpaper sleeve. The sleeve would run up the drum even with extremely low sanding pressure. Hmmm. More tightening wasn't successful despite my efforts. I measured the drum expansion using calipers at the top, middle, and bottom with and without tightening. The difference was not significant. Sandpaper sleeve appeared to be ok because it was close to 3". The sleeve would stay put because the other drums (2", 1.5", 1", and 0.75") performed reasonably well. Then I measured each drum's rubber durometer (hardness). It appears that the rubber compound of the 3" is harder than any others. Additionally, the 3" drum's design (cross sectional area vs. free expandable surface area) contributes to its relative lack of bulging as compared to all other drums. The distributor (WI) agreed to provide a replacement 3" drum after being contacted.By the way, the supplied tool, which was probably 16mm for ISO M10, was barely 16mm.Additional drum-related items Three washers are provided for each of the six sleeve sizes—3", 2", 1.5", 1", 0.75", and 0.5"—to help spread the nut's pressure. Without a drum, the 0.5" sleeve fits over the spindle. The washers come in 1.78", 0.83", and 0.59 sizes (OD). The three largest drums are to be used with the 1.78" washer, per manufacturer instructions. The 1.5" sandpaper sleeve is "crusted" by this washer, which is the issue here. I seized a similar-sized washer right away. Since there is no rubber drum, the smallest washer must be put on the 0.5" and holds the sleeve directly down, which is acceptable in my opinion.Spindle: The included M10 nut is of poor quality and has an incorrectly tapped thread. It was replaced right away. Spindle squareness against sander table 89 degrees or so, but not even close to 90. After the drum is installed, the same happens (as intended).Cast iron table: I cleaned the surface, reapplied oil, and then coated it with paste wax to reduce friction and provide longer-lasting rust prevention. Flatness: A straight edge placed at a new spot wiggled slightly. Feeler gages show a deviation from flatness of up to 0.4mm (the thickness of four sheets of copy paper). In terms of the shape of the table, I believe I would like a round table with a spindle in the middle so that I can have the same support no matter how I use it. The majority of the table support on this model is located towards the back of the sander, or at least that's how I use it, with the On/Off switch facing me.Good dust collection connected a comparatively tiny shop vacuum to the sander's back dust port. left very little sawdust on the table surface. I only used the 3" sanding sleeve, by the way.Noise: Not quite quiet, but not so noisy that I had to take a decibel reading. Almost perfectly in tune with all of my other loud toolsOverall, this item performs as expected and falls somewhat short of my expectations due to the aforementioned. The rating of 4 stars reflects my opinion of the price-to-performance ratio. It's another relatively inexpensive sander. I'm now holding out for a new 3" drum and hoping that this thing lasts for a significant number of hours.May 2019 update: The sander is still functioning normally. I employ it regularly (just rounded curves on 8 Adirondack chairs). The company was really helpful in resolving the initial 3" drum problem I encountered. They shipped a replacement drum right away, and it functions without any issues.

To connect my Bridgeport mill to a 220V single phase home supply line, I bought this VFD. Overall, the device functions precisely as it should. It is similar to converting your 3-phase AC motor into a DC motor, complete with all of the control and versatility, without sacrificing torque. I was able to keep the startup and shutdown speeds at five seconds, which should help the computer last a little longer. Basically, rather of a sudden severe jolt, give it a beautiful smooth start and stop. For practically anything you can imagine, as well as for a few things you won't know they're for, it offers adjustments and parameters. That may be the only issue I have. The extensive manual that comes with it lists all the options, although not all of them are clearly described. A brief setup handbook in addition to the comprehensive instructions would be helpful.In any case, I am happy with the product and will probably purchase a second one to convert my vertical bandsaw and a third one to convert my lathe.

I don't remember the last time a subpar power tool made me feel this content.I was quite hesitant to purchase this gadget. As I've advanced in my hobby of woodworking, I've been dissatisfied and disillusioned with inexpensive, low-end consumer power equipment. They frequently appear to be the "genuine thing" at the store. But after you get them home and start using them, you'll see all the terrible trade-offs that were necessary to get that cheap price.I think this WEN will prove to be the exception rather than the rule. The fit and quality are good, it functions well, and any tradeoffs are clear and appropriate for my business.Instead of melamine like another type I explored, the table is made of cast iron (or maybe steel). The finish is not machined glass smooth; it is a little rough. just a high grit rough sanding. I anticipate that you're not paying enough for further finishing processes at this price point. The table appears level and has adequate space for my work. It is smooth after being waxed with paste.Although it isn't shown in the images, my copy came with a wrench for the spindle nut. It's a great touch, that.The actual sanding process works well. It is powerful enough for my application (sanding hardwood band saw boxes). Even though I let the tool handle the work for me, I didn't cause it to stall or bog down.The removal of dust is quite efficient. Despite my poor dust collector, it still consumes 99% of the dust produced by this machine. On that front, I'm overjoyed. On cheap sanders, dust collection is frequently an unnecessary afterthought.It functions reasonably well and is not jerky.I can efficiently switch from quick stock removal to final-finish sanding with the correct grit of sandpaper.The noise front seems to be where most compromises have been made. It growls like a sander. Put earplugs in.Additionally, it would be convenient if they provided a location to keep the extra washers. However, it would have been good to have a cubby in the base for them because everything else has one, even the wrench. I suppose you can place them back on the spindle when you're finished.Bottom line: based on what I've observed, paying four times as much would only get you so much. This won't be disappointing for hobby or light professional use, in my opinion.

It flexes as if there is no support at all, thus the base is a little underwhelming. I believe that the base's lack of unity raises the possibility that it may collapse. The sander has tremendous functionality. It was perfect when I used it to give a piece of wood a nice, rounded, sloping edge. Since I don't own any aftermarket sandpaper sleeves, I don't have anything to compare it to, but I thought the provided sleeves were short-lived because the front was loaded with wood. I've observed that if you run a certain item over the sleeve while it is spinning, it will essentially clear junk off of the sleeve. I'll try this out to see if it can assist. The process is fairly audible. Even with my noise-cancelling earmuffs on, the noise level is still quite high. Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase.

This sander is sturdy and well-built. When I was ready to buy a different model at a greater price to replace my 20-year-old 3" X 21" belt sander that was starting to wear out, "Amazon's Choice" suggested this model instead. I made the decision to try it, and I'm pleased I did. Although it is larger and a little bit heavier than my previous sander, the weight difference is hardly evident when using the tool. The extended power cord is extremely appealing to me. Although I'm not sure whether I'll ever use them, the clamps to hold it on a bench inverted are good. Stock removal depends more on the choice of belts being used than on the sander, however ease of use, ease of changing the belt, and stock removal are all excellent. Its durability will be determined over time, but it does offer a three-year warranty, compared to most others' one-year coverage. I prefer the hard plastic cases over the soft cases currently included with many tools; a case to contain the sander, extra belts, and the inversion clamps would be a clear upgrade. There was at least ten times as much dust left on the work area as there was gathered in the dust bag, which is poor but not as bad as with my old sander. When I initially used the sander, I didn't have the proper adapter to attach my shop vac, but I'm sure it will work better now that it is. It would unquestionably receive a five star rating with improved dust collection and a durable case to carry the sander and accessories.
A spindle sander is a power tool that is used to smooth out woodworking projects. The spindle sander has a cylindrical shaped sanding head that spins. The head is attached to a long shaft that is powered by an electric motor. The spindle sander is held in place on a workbench or table. To replace a spindle sander, first unplug the power cord from the outlet. Next, use a wrench to loosen the bolt that secures the sanding head to the shaft. Remove the old sanding head and install a new
If you're looking to sand spindles quickly, there are a few things you can do to speed up the process. First, use a power sander if you have one available. This will make quick work of the sanding process. If you don't have a power sander, you can still sand the spindles by hand, but it will take a bit longer. To make the job go faster, use a piece of sandpaper that is coarse enough to remove the paint or finish quickly, but not so coarse that it will damage the wood. Work in small sections
If you're looking to turn your angle grinder into a sander, there are a few things you'll need to do. First, you'll need to purchase a sanding disc that's compatible with your grinder. Once you have the disc, simply attach it to the grinder and you're ready to start sanding. When sanding with an angle grinder, it's important to keep the following things in mind: always use a light touch, go with the grain of the material you're sanding, and make sure to keep the grinder moving to avoid damaging the
The cost of replacing a spindle will vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle. Generally, the labor costs will be between $100 and $200. The parts will cost between $50 and $100.
