Drum sander source

Post by carbonman »

Does anyone have a source for drum sander parts.
Looking for 1/2" to 1 1/2" X 4" to run in SS.
Thanks!

Why 4" long? In addition to the one linked above, Shopsmith sells a 6" inch long drum sander, but you can buy any diameter/length drum sander you can find that has a 1/2" or 1/4" spindle then mount it by buying the Shopsmith router chuck, which comes in 1/2" and 1/4" sizes. Suggest against using the drill chuck to mount.

That will do.
I would need the second choice for my '59 Greenie, model 500?

I want to use it for band saw boxes.
Thanks for the tip on the router chuck vs the drill chuck.
I will get one.

Yep! The table insert is different.

This one, right?

The table could hardly be moved up/down.
I pulled it apart and cleaned the pinions and the teeth
on the table tubes. Hit them w/a little silicone and
it's just like new.

A not uncommon problem.

$329.50, according to page 14 of this catalog.

I didn't see a date in the catalog, but VintageMachinery.org says it was published in 1959.
