Thickness sander

By MVSteve, member Oct 18, 2014

For years I dreamed of having a thickness sander. I was finally inspired to build one after looking at the old ShopNotes plans and the photos of the fine examples built by others. I modified the plans to expand the width from 16″ to 25″. I decided to build a rolling stand and power it with an old electric motor from my son’s farm instead of running it from table saw motor. I added a nice drawer on the bottom of the stand to hold my sanding supplies. Just a few more finishing touches and it will be finished. So far I am very pleased with how well it works.
