Stroke Sander Two

Posted Mar 02, 2018
Categories: Shop Techniques

We replaced our revered, shopbuilt stroke sander. A neighbor had an old Beech pedestal type stroke sander in his shed. We bought it and rebuilt it.

Because the pulleys are on free standing pedestals, the distance between the pulleys (and therefore the length you can sand) can be long. We set it up to sand 8'-6" in its day to day position.  End every part and piece (unless very small) that has a flat place on it gets sanded here.

We built hoods and ways to protect us from the belt and assist in collecting the dust.
