I think I would just go and buy a Ridgid spindle sander.. That looks like too much work and subpar to me.

Waiting for a rebate on that Rigid spindle sander and I’ll buy it.
Apparently it’s the best out out there.

Yep, I’ll give it a thumbs up. Mine is the spindle/belt version and I use it a lot. One of the “must have” tools in the shop. Quiet, effective and good dust control, too. Abrasives are easy to get and not expensive.

The shop built version in the video with that motor open to all the dust and crap wouldn’t last too long IMO.

BE the change you want to see.

It’s not for a cabinet shop for sure but if you have time and not a lot of money it could be a solution.

I agree. Why would anyone want to build that themselves? Or is the guy in prison and has zero money and nothing else better to do?

Good design ideas there, I like the system overall.

Non contact switches are a really great concept for turning the DC on and off

I wonder where the make-up air is coming from to compensate for the outdoor exhaust. He doesn’t cover that in the video.

Now why would anyone bother to do all this work for an insert plate you can buy for cheap makes no sense to me either.

I cannot understand either the whole plastic thing. Show off.
I did make my own zero clearance insert for the dewalt 744 ( I think that’s the number). I didn’t want to buy one for $60. Or something around that number.

Aren’t the zero clearance plate a consumable item in that eventually it will need replaced?

Right, Bill, they wear and eventually need replacement. I usually have 4 or 5 in regular use plus several blanks ready to go. You need different inserts for ripping, dadoing and bevel cuts. Easy to make, though.

Last time I bought one they were $30, but now they’re $40. Still cheap.

I don’t go thru these things like socks, mine tend to last a long time.

Agreed, mine seem to last quite well, but I do have several blades, and I try and match them to the blades, not to mention dado widths, no end to those.

I don’t find $30 or $40 cheap. I agree they do last a long time.

With the better weather fast approaching, good time to think about garden stuff.
