Disc Ginder?
Hello,
I am thinking about making a 9" disc grinder/sander for my shop. I am thinking of using 1/2" steel plate and attaching a boss(if I am spelling it right),with a key way cut into it, to it, so that I can attach it to the motor. After attaching it mechanically with bolts and perhaps welding it into place. I plan to turn everything as one unit on my lathe to balance it, get rid of any run out and make it vibration proof.
I have been told that the way to do this right is to turn down a 1.5" by 9" steel plate to make something vibration free. I don't know why my idea won't work, so long as my boss is carefully centered.
Can you tell me any reason why this won't work? Any suggestions on making it better would be happily accepted.
The reason for 9" is that I can use normal sandpaper on it. All I have to do is glue it on and trim it in the shape of the disc.
The motor will be reversible, and the disc will have a 1 degree taper on the face.
Thanks for the help.
Fred
