Anybody made one?

I've seen a YouTube video where someone made their own.  I thought about building one but the Ryobi I bought in the 80's is still working so no real need right now.

I have the Rigid sander, and can count on one hand the times I've needed the spindle. Most every task can be handled with the belt, since the rollers are unguarded. Through-holes (or VERY tight inside curves) are the only time the spindle is necessary.

In cabinet shops,  radius is going to be based on the equipment you have. Most shop edge sanders will have a 6” wheel on one end and 3-4” on the other. Now if a customer specifies something you can’t do, you buy what is needed.

 

I originally wanted a Grizzly, but at this time I don’t see enough value to spend a grand. Now every shop is different and every need is different. When I switched from cabinetry, some tooling is the same and some isn’t. 
 

it ain’t a box anymore….
