Hey all,
I"m trying to make a sanding mop, so I need to clamp the sandpaper from both sides. I'd like to use an existing motor, but it's arbor is set up for a pulley and woodruff key or set screw. However, I want to use all-thread, but this isn't compatible with the motor's setup. Has anyone tapped an arbor to accept a bolt/threaded rod?
Are there any issues with strength of a 5/8" arbor if I tap in for a bolt ~1" deep? I'm thinking I need to have a machine shop do this, since I'm not going to be able to drill straight into the arbor, and would probably booger up the threads too. However, if people have suggestions for a low tech and/or low cost option, I'm all ears.
