Pipe Sander

Good job. Buy the harbor freight router speed control and you'll have variable speed.

I will have to try that but I am a little concerned that the power will drop off quickly with the speed reduction.

Thanks All

I've been looking at these. The new cheap chinese ones at $~175 are within reach, but I also thought about building one. Didi you make any drawings you might care to share?
 
Nice... I'm visualizing a smaller version, perhaps with a Dremel motor...

Why three wheels?
 
That was design #1 and design #3 is much shorter and somewhat different.
The third wheel pivots so that the sanding belt can wrap around the material as it works.
I do intend to make the plans available in the future but sure when.
Thanks

Hi there,
new Member and I already think that with "shop-made tooling" I have found my favorite part of the Forum.
Its hard to tell from the Pictures but the idler Pulleys should bulge in the center. Does not take much and helps the Belt tracking tremendously
