Sanding jig for wheels

[planeur]

I made a sanding jig with a remaining melamine board . As you see it work with the Ridgid sander, on which I improved a lot the succion like that ( couple of years ago  )

Easy to do and work ! I had everything . Cost : 0$

Thanks again Ronald Walters for the idea!

What type of clamp is that that you are using to hold it to the sander table? It has a round rod type of clamp rod? I've not seen one like that.

The little rectangular piece  on the jig, is almost 1/8  thick,  and have 1/4-20 thread and a screw  1/4-20   entering in the black handle  and  compressed  the bar holding the wheel.

To bad I don’t have that little piece number, I have a couple of  them , but don’t remember where I bought them.

But easily you can do one with a piece of metal and a 1/4-20 tap!

The jig is from that video.

Hope it help you Ray

No, not that. In 2 of your pics, there is something round on the lower right corner of the table/jig. I figured it must be a clamp to hold the sanding jig to the sanding table. Just wondering what it was.

I have had clamps like that, they are made to fit in a hole in the base of a machine.  Haven't seen them used like planeur is doing.  If it works, it must be right.

Ray it is exactly as Tom said, it normaly used fot clamping something with a hole, but also as I did with it.

I used this clamp on the jig because I nerver  use it very much elsewhere !

What is that device hanging down Les? Looks interesting.

[Rockytime]

It's a watchmaker lathe  I swiping it up to use it and it does not taķe up bench space.

Very useful making wooden gears.
