Making your own 12" disc sander

Thanks, Dave. I did some research and found them. But I couldn't find the price. Your link was perfect.

The reason I asked about steel VS aluminum is that I have found both on Ebay, and wondered what others thought. Have you tried both, or just the steel? Thanks.

Building a portable tabletop model huh??

Steel/aluminum? Depends on the disc. Plate steel is good. Cast aluminum is good. Which is cheaper for you? Which one will fit that 30HP arbor??????

I just have the steel. I think the aluminum was an older style. My SS is from 1989. Thats new in Shopsmith years.
