Yeah, I understand where you are coming from.
By the way, the linked is a RANDOM orbit which is why it’s got that big block half way down the shaft and it talks about being balanced at the factory.
However, the things I’m trying to sand are 100x100mm and there are many of them. I’ve got a new random orbit 6inch sanding setup as my go-to, and a drum sander to test a jig idea for it as a half way automated idea between manual sanding and the CNC sanding;
but I wanted to see what ya’ll thought of this CNC sander attachment considering, in theory, something like this would work well for these small items as I have a CNC surfacing jig for them already to clamp each individually and flatten them before I sand, and something like this would reduce my workload by simply switching out the attachment to then sand them.
Questions:
- Anyone know of other sanding attachment examples, outside the one I linked, built for CNC?
- Anyone here tried making a jig to clamp and run small things through a drum sander (my other related forum query)?
