Powered Radius Dish

Post by Taffy Evans » Wed Jan 01, 2025 11:56 am

Hi, For years I promised myself a motorised radius dish sander, but I did not have the floorspace to have it sitting around between jobs, even wall space is at a premium. I have too much of everything, Hahaha. This solved the problem. I started building some parts of the guitar in batches, bending sides, and prepping necks, backs, and tops, for future use. To radius multiple sides was a pain, so this will remove that pain.
Photos should tell the story. Thanks for looking.

Nice work Taff.

Is there a safety feature to prevent the disc spinning too fast and taking off across the workshop?

Hi Martin, it's quite safe, I select the lowest gear on the drill press and the highest gear in my brain. :lol: :lol: I have a video of it working, I will try to post it.
Cheers Taff.
