Homemade Drum Sander 24 Inch Drum Sander Build

Build your own drum sander – Step-by-step DIY tutorial for woodworking projects

This drum sander works very well especially for end grain cutting boards. Easy and fast to build. The hardest part is finding a motor. Don't ask about RPMs or pulley math. I just guessed and it all works fine.

I like how a budget DIY build starts with using a CNC machine.

This is one of the better DYI sanders I've seen on simple, get the job done! 👍

[matthewloeffler]

Thank you for your service. My dad was army infantry during WW II

I used to have a DIY Drum Sander but is taking too much space in my shop so I got rid of it. After a few years, I realize I really need one. I'm thinking of a design that will save space when stored, but will not compromise accuracy. Anyway, thanks for your video, I really like the PVC instead of using wood although out.

Thanks, grabbing some great ideas for a similar thickness sander, very clever sandpaper attachment "notch", all the best.

[ILikeRagtime]

EXCELLENT !!!! , ,,,and THANK YOU for your Service!

[Nissanzxshowcar]

Great video! Going to buy the plans and hope for the best! ?, Will this work with 1/4" boards? Would like to belt sand the material after resawing walnut and maple for small boxes. Thank you again, well done!

[artwong]

Well done. Simple and robust design. Especially like the 2x4 frame.

[derkadesigns]

Awesome, thanks for remembering me. Can’t wait to give this a shot.

[edreusser]

This is a great design. Also, use Stump Nubs' idea of multiple sanding drums for different jobs. Makes it easy to swap out the sandpaper as needed.

[mariovrpereira]

nice design. thanks a lot for showing it

[robertmoore]

Intersesting will apply some techniques.... thank for taking the time.

Intresting cutting board.... is there location to add notches?

[ProjectGreenDreamz]

That's awesome. Love how simple it is.

[purelife]

The AR AK cutting boards at the end got you a sub, my man!

[TunaSoda]

Hmm, I may try building one of these using a wooden rolling pin lol I want to have one to remove pieces from pre-cut cnc boards where I leave the bottom skin on for support, this would be perfect.

What is the thing you use for cleaning the sander? Thank you for sharing this nice video.

[redimpala]

Nice video. I picked up a set of your plans. I see from your replies that you used a 1.5 HP pool motor. Do you know what the motor's RPM is? I'm hoping to find a decent used motor and don't want it under powered or under speed.

I'm sure I could play with pulley sizes if the speed is off, but I bought your plans so I don't have to reinvent the wheel, so to speak 🙂.

[widetiregarage]

Do you have a set of plans for sales yet?

[jhause]

Helpful video. Any potential issues with the pvc overheating and warping? I'm planning on using mine fairly heavily. Thinking about using MDF for the drum, but pvc looks a lot easier.

[UNIK-wood-design]

hello very good idea ... I would like to build one too .... Can you tell me where I can get the sandpaper that you installed thank you
