How to Make a Sanding Drum
More in Home Improvement
Step 1: Cut the Sandpaper
Cut a piece of sandpaper into a circle a little larger than the disc. Center the disc on the back of the sandpaper, and use a pencil to trace the disc's circumference onto the sandpaper (Image 1). Using scissors, make closely spaced radial cuts on the sandpaper up to the line you just drew (Image 2).
Step 2: Insert a Carriage bolt and Attach the Sandpaper
Insert a carriage bolt into the center of the small wood disc. Use rubber cement to attach the sandpaper to the disc. Allow the cement to dry.
Step 3: Attach the Jig
Attach the jig to the chuck of the drill press when you need to sand recessed areas.
