Thickness Sander
I am making a coffee table who's top is composed of small glued up
pieces of wood. Unfortunately, all the wood is slightly different thicknesses (off by as much as 1/16 of an inch). I wanted a method of ensuring that the final table top is perfectly smooth. I was thinking of building a really big thickness sander. The concept is to use a 22" piece of PVC piping, contact cement some sand paper to it, and spin it exactly 3/4" above a surface, and pass the pre-assembled top through it on a slight (15 degree) angle through it. Having never built a thickness sander before, I would like to hear any suggestions anyone might have, or if anyone thinks this is a bad idea, I'd like to hear that as well. (I'm a bit concerned that the heat from the sanding might effect the pvc or contact cement for example). Thanks, John |
