Homemade disc sander

Some time ago i had to buy a new washing machine, and before i scraped the old one i took the electric motor off .

With some peaces of wood i have put the sander together, i wantend to make it small and easy to store, it mounts on a bench vise.

The disc has about 25cm diameter (10").

I have never used one before, and let me tell you this is a very nice tool, it will make life easier on a lot of occasions.

First use:

Video update (upgrades)

Here is a video showing the finished table saw, the table now sits on caster wheels and has a box around the saw to collect the dust.

crosscut sled and first cut

Made a crosscut sled, with the material´s i had around, it is not super sturdy but it gets the job done. It cuts really square:

Sled grooves

Used the saw to make 4 cuts, and then chiseled away the grooves:

The legs

Pretty simple also, just 4 peaces of wood all the same size:

Eletrical

Nothing too complicated here, just an outlet on th inside and a switch on te outside:

Mounting the saw

Ok,

Now i gained the courage to make the cuts to mount the saw. On the inside i chiseled the format of the saw to secure it, and gain more depth  in the cut:

With a bit of care it all got quite square:

Making the fence rail

Hello, im back to continue the build.

I gave a look at the metal bin to see watt i could use to make the rail.
Found a L bean and some square tubbing:

Added square tube to the fence also:

 The fence stay´s in place and square with the saw when i turn this wing nut:
