Saw a pic of one on here once ,who did it and how??
-
Don't understand your question!
-
not a ridgid-but the concept is the same-that is the pattern jig sitting on it----

Mike what's the curved metal made from?
-
1" x 1/16" steel
sorry I was so long--I was out of town hunting
-
Nice simple setup, Mike!!
-
it was a proto type that worked so good I still use it kenny
-
OK thanks
-
Bamboo, can you explain how it works- looks like a chinese puzzle to me- cant figure it out :knothead:
-
the riser block is roughed out slightly over sized on a bandsaw---then clamped in to the pattern jig to ground to finish shape
you push the base of the jig against the "rub-rail' and grind the riser blank until it matches the shape of the pattern jig ---I hope that helps

Good setup. Bue--. :)
-
so i guess the pattern jig is 1/16" smaller than desired finished size- or even a tad smaller than that to match the gap.
does the steel rub collar have a flange on the underside, so that it is attached to the underside of the table?
many thanks

no flange-but the plywood is double thick @the drum-fitting trough the hole in the cast iron-giving the rub collar twice the attachment area and a purchase with the machine
-
cool thx.
so its screwed to the plywood base plate- and it in turn is clamped to the cast iron surface?
many thanks
-
correct--
-
awesome, thanks mike

I can make a flange for the rigid sander. It's out of a high impact plastic. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send you pictures. It's what I use for mine.
-
I have the Rigid and would like to see your setup.
-
Me too I'd like to see your rigid Sanders set up .joe
-
nother "me too" on that. Maybe you could post photos here?
-
I used a piece of thin steel tubing same ID as the sandpaper and about an 1" wide. i put it on the rubber drum below the sandpaper. It rubs on the jig under the piece I am sanding to shape. The best place I found thin tubing was old vehicle driveline tube. Jim
