Laminating sheet metal
wrote in message ... I've just finished up rebuilding my shop built drum sander this weekend and I'm really happy with how it's turned out, more on that coming in the future. The problem is that I decided to use that phenolic coated plywood for the top surface of the table. I used the same stuff on my router table and it's held up pretty well there. But after 15 minutes of use on the sander it's already scratched to hell, so clearly it's not going to hold up. Doh! The table is a stress-skin design with the 3/4 ply on top, about 1-1/2 high box made from 3/4 ply, and the bottom is 3/8 ply. It's about 30"x20", was a fair bit of work, and fits perfectly. It seems like the only thing that's going to hold up is going to be stainless steel. I highly doubt I'm going to get anything to stick to that phenolic. So I'm thinking I need to screw 1/4 ply over it, then I can laminate to that. Can I laminate steel to wood? Contact cement? -Kevin Can you get a sheet of that slick UHMV plastic? Screw it down and replace as needed. |
