Hand powered sander - not Ultimation


Recommended Posts

OK, here goes.  There has been discussion lately about the Ultimation tools, especially the hand-disc sander.  There are other products of similar concept in use by jewellers and picture framers.

I am making a hand powered disc sander along those lines but not a copy.  The prototype is encouraging.

Looking at the jigs and fixtures I will be using it would be easy enough to make multiple assemblies.  Without commitment, is anyone out there interested in one after the trouble-shooting is done? Bear in mind I am UK based.

Yes I'm interested in purchasing a small hand operated disc sander.  I've been trying to find a 4 to 6 inch (100mm to 150mm) size. Something that would fit easily on a work bench or desk to allow fine sanding and trimming up tp a line or creating a controlled angle or just a perfect 90 degree cut.  If it is high quality I'm willing to pay a good but fair price.
