Fantastic idea. Definitely added this video to my "make this" woodworking playlist. One suggestion. Since you will need to take the shield off on a regular basis to clean and replace the sandpaper, and since a wood screw can only be removed and installed just so many times before it will no longer hold, I suggest that you use threaded metal inserts in the vertical supports that a machine screw can screw into rather than directly screwing through the shield and into the wood of the support. Then a machine screw with a washer will go through the shield and screw into the insert to hold the shield in place. Since the machine screw is going into the metal threads of the insert rather than directly into the wood, you can take the shield off as many times as you need to clean/replace the sandpaper. The same type of inserts could be used to mount the three vertical blocks in place. This would allow the entire sander to be taken apart and reassembled if needed without compromising the strength and rigidity of the joint between the base and the vertical supports. And a second suggestion. To make the shield stronger and hold its shape, you could take a very thin flexible piece of veneer and use just enough double sided tape to hold it in place on the vertical supports. Then brush the outer surface of the veneer and the ends of the strips in the underside of the shield with wood glue and wrap the shield over the veneer and screw it down. When the glue dries you will have a solid face on both the inner and outer surface of the shield, which will be much stronger than with just the very thin layer on the outer surface. The mounting screws on the supports will help clamp the outer shield to the layer of veneer, but there would be no clamping force in the middle. However, if you made one or two additional vertical supports with the same shape as the two that support the drum and temporarily mount them to the base without the drum in place, that would give you places in the middle where some clamping force can be applied.

I just finished mine! However, I did make changes. I went with a 5/8 shaft (found some cheap ones on Amazon), the power source is an old angle grinder which spins at 4500 rpm so I added V-belt pulleys to reduce the drum rpm to about 2000 and made the drum width about 20 inches, 3.5 diameter. I still need to add the cover for hooking it up the shop vacuum and another cover to protect myself from the pullies. I've got about 20 end grain boards to the point of needing a surface sander, didn't take long to run two of them "testing" the sander. Big thanks to you Gokmen! I might post a video of mine, I'll be sure and mention your design being the inspiration.
Without doubt best/easiest/cheapest to make DIY drum sander, I'm making a flat top mandolin and this is just right for my project. Thank you for no nonsense video
It is indeed very good, but don't lower the standard of the video by including superfluous adjectives like 'amazing' - your work doesn't need it and they can be a turn off for some people.
Very nice, I haven't made one yet because I don't have space in my little shop for another stand alone machine, but this table top model is just right for me.😊 Thank you
This is 2 things! The best tutorial I have seen on TH-cam And A perfect inexpensive and simple option instead of a $300 planer. Thank you! It’s perfect for what I need!
I am often dubious about DIY shop power tools but every part made and assembled as demonstrated in this video gives me confidence that this sander can provide a quality outcome in thickness variation across the work piece. Great job. You may want to add some operational information about how much can be removed in a single pass and how to set the removal depth accurately and how to set the drills RPM for optimal sandpaper and drill life. Thanks
Man you're at it again. You will have to stop embarassing everyone else with your ideas and workmanship. By the way, I built your router lift design. it works incredibly well, thankyou.
Fantastic!!! Of all the homemade thickness sanders I've seen videos for, this is the simplest, yet best working one going. The only thing that could make it better is the addition of some sort of "micrometer" height adjustment and a dial indicator to verify the change in height for real precise thickness sanding. Well done! This is the perfect rig for wood worker hobbyists and model builders...
There is a fairly simple way to accomplish this using those metal thickness gauges. Lift the angled board with the item to be sanded on it up to where it just touches the drum. Then drop and lock both height rods. Now remove the target and put a thickness gauge which is the thickness you want to remove (e.g. 0.02") and put it under one of the rods. Then loosen the other rod and let it drop to the base and tighten it again. Then remove the thickness gauge and loosen that rod, letting it drop to the base and tighten it. Now you've raised the platform approximately 0.02" and when you run the target through it, that is what you will remove. I say approximately because of the angle of the piece and relative position of the rods vs. the drum - but it should be very close.
Danke Gökmen für diese sehr gute Präsentation, ich verfolge diesen Kanal schon länger, und habe festgestellt das du dich Kamera und Videotechnisch weiter gebildet hast -TOP -das beste ist wie immer die Darstellung, der Baumaße so läßt es sich leicht nachvollziehen -> was da gebaut wird ! Beste Grüße von Bergflitzer Foto Dieter 🤗🎥🎥📷📷🚁🚁
Very nice work and video presentation! Here's a tip. After slitting the back of the dust cover, fill the kerfs with glue and saw dust or BONDO and then screw it in place. and let it harden. That will make the curve permanent and easy to remove for changing the sandpaper. Also, send the work through at a slight angle which will distribute the buildup on the drum over a wider area. Pine is gummy and will leave a gum streak on the roller where it will not sand, leaving a ridge on the work.
Brilliant craftsman! Thanks for a video that's pure quality and WITHOUT nonsense. Do you think this simplistic design would work on something larger -- such as a 500mm bed?
Great work. I would modify so that it would be easy to change sand paper. Maybe a dedicated motor as well. With some threaded rods you could adjust thickness easier. Thanks for the idea of the system.
Well, that was absolutely brilliant! So clever… makes me wonder if I could make one wider and with a router instead of a drill. 🧐 I feel so inspired! Thanks!
That’s a good idea. A router would make for a more compact unit which could be permanently mounted 😊. I have a spare one now since I treated myself to nice little palm router. Think I might have a crack at that idea myself. good call Tim.
@@berniebower7891 Good point, but I have three routers, and all have speed control. I’ve never used a drum sander, (it’s on my wish list), so I don’t know how fast they spin. Would a lathe motor work? Mine also has speed control.
Vallahi senin bu videolarini donup donup tekrar izliyorum huzur bu islerde izlerken bile kafam dagiliyirsa birde ahsapla ugrassam kendime gelirim heralde eline emegine saglik ustam
Improving improving improving, love it. The dust shroud was shrewd way to eliminate work and material. Some years ago Shopnotes magazine offered a disk sander for us which used the shroud cover idea. very similar to yours. I imagine it could still be found. Thank you Gokmen. OK I subd.
Well done! Brilliantly made, & demonstrated. My question is: How do you know the thickness to set if you cannot easily see the drum?? Also, how can you set/adjust the thickness accurately??
I’m *SUBSCRIBED* Wow, nice work. I will probably never build or need this, but the quality looks great. Just a couple of notes here from a nobody, more like questions then they are comments: 1) Wouldn’t it be awesome to have the router you used to construct this machine, also power it! 2) I wish there were an easier way to replace the the sandpaper. But thats just nit picking here. 3) I love the parts list, a lot of these types of videos have random, or even obscured essential parts. Nice going!!!

Отлично! Возьму на заметку.
Another great project, friend. My compliments on the great skills you possess. Thanks for sharing
Incredible job, as always!
Another great job, both the tool and the excellent presentation (though I'm surprised you did not make the rods and metal brackets from wood).
Always amazed me with the build. Good job man

Did you ever receive the diameter measurement? I seen you commented thank you for the measurements, but I don't see he replied here.
I need one of those! 😁 nice job
Smoothing the drum with a reversed drum sander nice!

I’m not sure if by slowing down the router you would maintain torque. The lathe motor seems perfect imo.
