GrampaJim Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 OK, I found a great deal on a 8" grinder on CL and bought it to make a sander for Intarsia instead of using my drill press. The flex sander drum from Seyco works great on one side and I want to put a drill chuck on the other side to mount sanding mops. I know it can be done, as I have seen pictures of a setup on SSV. The shaft on the grinder is 5/8" and is threaded on the end. How or where do I get such a chuck? I am sure the mechanical minded have an easy answer. Thanks, in advance.

don in brooklin on Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I bought mine from Stock Room Supply http://stockroomsupply.ca/shop/keyless-chuck.html They are Cdn but do go to a lot of US shows and ship to US as they are near the boarder.

Sycamore67 Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Be a bit cautious with the speed as many grinders are 3600 rpm and faster than recommended for sanding mops and drum Sanders. I run my pneumatic drum sander and sanding mop much slower. Beware of things when you first turn it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye10 Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 This is what I do to run my sanding mop at the speed I want. The small clamp can be set to run the drill from very slow to wide open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
