Edge Sander

[Keith Larrett]

It seems there is always another tool to buy

I had need for an edge sander in order to get rid of some saw marks on a bunch of panels prior to staining. I cut a table and fence to mount on my Ridgid Oscillating Belt Sander. I've been using it for a couple months now and have been very pleased with it.



I've attached the dxf if anyone is interested in cutting one. You will need to drill and tap two 1/4 x 20 holes in the surface of the existing table of the sander.

Thanks for the file Keith!
Now that I've got the Northern's shop tools here, I've got 2 Ridgids and this would be nice to have in the unheated garage for larger stuff.
Nice figure on the panel...Quilted Oregon Maple?

Old growth MDF (Edge banded and veneered with cherry.)

Here's a shot of part of the order waiting for pick up.

I'm glad you'll find the file useful. I thought there would be a lot of people with that sander in their shops. I've used my sander more in the last couple months since I put the table extension and fence on than I did in the previous couple of years.

Insufficient caffeine, and I didn't pause the vid
Yep, nothing like all clear vertical grain MDF

That's a great idea. I have a ridgid sander just like that and i have struggled on occassion with larger pieces without thinking about making a larger table. I'll use this jig...thanks
