Homemade Shopsmith drumsander using a cardboard drum
Will a CARDBOARD drum work on a homemade drumsander? Can a bicycle hub be used as a drumsander bearing? Today I will show you the drum and how I change the sandpaper.

Cool idea, might even try it out. Cardboard tubes are so cheap I don't know if I'd bother peeling old paper off and just use a new tube instead.

Would PVC be an option to the cardboard drum?

Re: Homemade Shopsmith drumsander using a cardboard drum
I have seen two u-tube videos with a PVC as a drum sander. Going to use PVC when I make mine.

You might want to re-think the PVC pipe idea. Scott just posted a video about this very subject; seen in the link below:

Re: Homemade Shopsmith drumsander using a cardboard drum
PVC is surely an option too. I have an abundance of cardboard tubes available for me, so this is why I decides to go that route.

Re: Homemade Shopsmith drumsander using a cardboard drum
PVC isn't an awful choice, but the tubing I used sure was. It was actually tubing from rolls of kraft paper that Shopsmith used in the factory as packing material. The tubing was very thin-walled, so that was the biggest flaw. Schedule 80 or even 120 if you can get it would be amazing. Scott
Re: Homemade Shopsmith drumsander using a cardboard drum
Both PVC and cardboard might have the 'roundness' problem described in the video. A shorter drum might be less of a problem. In the video he ended up laminating plywood into long square stock and turning it, that seems like a much better solution than stacking up 40 or more disks although more work and cost than a pre-made pipe or tube.Chad wrote:You might want to re-think the PVC pipe idea.

Re: Homemade Shopsmith drumsander using a cardboard drum
This post might be worth checking out even if the end product is quite different. It involves making a drum out of PVC and how I got it round etc.

BTW I still have and use this 10 years later.
