After using for years my laptop as flexible disc Sander through a suppliedaccessory, and securing it temporarily "a little here and a little there, I decided toDIY a disc sander fixing all recovery materials, to cost almost 0.

the engine was recovered from an old dishwasher wreck.First I disassembled the hydraulic part from the motor itself, and cut with a hacksawand cut through the so-called "snail" in order to remove the impeller.

I removed all pieces of the rotor leaving integrates only the basis or support thatgoes to enter the pump through the pivot screw.

A heavy piece of wood (beech type) was used to create the disc, obtained with thebandsaw or jig saw.

In the Middle I run a hole that will accommodate the apical part of the post.

Step 2: The disc

Contact glue PuTTY type I glued the two pieces together. After a few hours I put the screws for a safer fixing, obviously by piercingbeforehand, with a fine tip, to prevent sagging or cracking of the wood.

Step 3: The velcro system

I opted, in my disc Sander, for a quick on-off sanding disc: the velcro system,which is already equipped with most discs that I got to see on the market.I've got a velcro belt, of the type that also has adhesive on the underside and Icovered the entire disc.

As you can see in the picture, I used velcro type complementary to that present onthe lower surface of the sanding discs that I had provided.

The back of the plate has been resurfaced, for reasons "aesthetic" always withalways hook tape.

After that I dedicated to the construction of the container of the motor with itssupport of the workpiece.

As material I used chipboard for construction and to support;

As protective material-electric parts cover I used a sheet of plexiglass from 1 mmfixed co of small screws.

After securely fastened with three screws on the front of the engine support, andhave fixed the starting capacitor at the base through a simple hole the samediameter of the screw of the capacitor, I started to build the base of the workpiece.

As you can see in the first picture, it's a support that incorporates into it, throughthe fixing with screws, motor support, forming a single unit.

For the front cross, as he had to accommodate the lifting the hinge base plate, Ipreferred to use instead of wood chipboards for greater robustness.

As the base of the piece I used a MDF shelf that was coincidentally the right fit;

It was enough to run the channel at the swivel plate and fasten it in the rightposition.

When the base is lowered in its working position, you create in the bottom area asmall Chamber that houses the sawdust, which, through a hole measuringapproximately 5 cm, is extracted from a vacuum cleaner that I from time to time.

Since the pot turns counter-clockwise, I ran the hole in the right side of the lower Chamber.

To give greater stability and to mitigate any vibrazionial, I set of rubber along thebottom perimeter of the structure,

As I said, I used the plexiglass as a lid; of the pieces cut to size, fixed by means of small screws and connected with each other through a drizzle of hot glue.

Could not miss the power switch and power cord connections which was fastenedfrom the inside with a plastic clamp to prevent inadvertent sfilasse for some traction.

In a final stage, not documented by photos, I colored Matt Black all over, except thebase.

I preferred it in transparent Instructables.com community, it seemed a little morespirit "Spartan" typical of us instructables-mens.

Thanks for your attention, I hope I was of help to anyone, and if you vote my

realization it will be greatly appreciated.Hello from Torx

How simple and functional. I really like the see through part. Wouldn't it beinteresting if humans were built simi larly ...

Is there a heat build up from totally enclosing the motor?

torx (/member/torx/) (author) chancefour

you're right.Not heating very wel lthe engine will be a good thing to createventilation holes,as I at a later stage I did

chancefour (/member/chancefour/) torx

Yes, it i s difficult to provide circulation without also providing dust fromoperating the machine. Sometimes I think I should find a nice smallcorroborator air filter and make a holder for it on the intake area of thedust collection route. Say ... put a small filter I can blow out or easily

replace at a big box store on the back of your see through box thenprovide suction below the table to pull the filtered air right through themotor box. Just dreaming ... maybe I'll try that one day for myself.

Hi, Torx. Congrats for the build. I feel really happy to know I'm not the only one wholikes to revive scrap into useful things. I made the same project with an old paper tape reader motor (imagine how old it is). The difference is - my table is fixed and

I had to come up with a solution to change the sanding disks. Either you can't putthe disk sliding it to the place, because it gets stuck by the velcro, or you canttake it out for the same reason. Solution: I made kind of a thin plastic sheetpaddle (a spiral book cover, for example), with almost the same shape as thedisk, and I manage to slide it between the disk and the velcro, and the diskcomes off. To install a new disk I just have do do the opposite movement,keeping the new disk in place by hand. When the paddle comes off, the disk is fitin place. Great idea you had making a movable table.

Best regards and more great ideas.

You may need to move the little table in front up higher, so it goes through thecenter axis of the sander. Also, if you mount a removable blocking plate on the leftside, you won't accidentally move the work piece to the left, and have it "catch" on

the upward movement of the sander, launching the work from your hand and your hand into the sander.

torx (/member/torx/) (author) stoobers

in fact the risk that signals me is real:attention is necessary to decrease the danger.

Thank for comment

Ha! Cool. Just as I was on the cusp of publishing a disc sander instructable aswell... It will be a bit of a different beast, being a lot bigger. I like your build though- cool use of waste materials. Thumbs up.

My only concern would be an over heating potential due to your total enclosure of the motor, perhaps not so big an issue i f your use is only occasional andintermittent, permitting the motor to cool down? And plexi can soften if it gets toohot.

sellers.nathan (/member/sellers.nathan/)

Great build. I love that you made your own disc sander. I like the transparent lookto.

pfred2 (/member/pfred2/) sellers.nathan

Theirs isn't bad. I like mine better though. That's a lousy picture of it. Letme find a better one.

From right after I first made it. At first I tried to use a wooden table, but itwas too shaky. So I redid it in mild steel.
