![]() This idea can also be adapted – by drilling a hole through the centre and securing a bolt through the hole you can mount the sander on a bench drill, if you countersink the head of the bolt it will not interfere with the base of the drill. ![]() I used this to help finish a hobby horse for my two year old daughter. With the pieces still centred on the lathe this makes an excellent drum sander for small pieces of work where fine control is required. Note: for drum sanders to be used on bench drill you need to consider the capability of the drill - the sander can not be as large as it would be if used on the lathe I first of all turned a scrap piece of wood into a drum and then glued sandpaper to it. If you want to mount it on a drill you can either use the marks left by the lathe centers to drill the enter, or turn a spigot on one end and the remount the piece on the lathe using jaws and once centered drill the center while it it on the lathe.
