Introduction

Oscillating spindle sanders can be expensive. Plus, who needs to find room for another tool in their shop?

This DIY drum sanding table can be made in an afternoon. And because it mounts on a drill press, it's automatically variable speed. Attach a vacuum hose and you won't want to do your edge sanding any other way.
