Pattern sander.

[Cherry Tree]

Anyone have the ability to build one or know where someone would sell a used one I know there custom and I'm looking for a guy that has done it and will build one for me if possible. Thanks.

The best bet is setting up a table on the end of a 6X80" edge sander and either use a collar or have a flush bearing mounted on the motor. Search out other threads on this topic... There are a bunch of ideas that you can do yourself.

I have a 6x80 on the way to me now with these same plans. Make a flush bearing underneath the motor pulley so my riser jig can ride on it. I have access to a metal lathe to make the ring. (or rub collar). I was using a robosander from Picou Deisgns on a drill press. It works but not the best for hogging out very much.
