Members Kovant Posted January 12, 2023 Members Report Posted January 12, 2023 Hello I will probably buy this bench grinder as it is the only one with variable speed I can find in Europe (shipping + fees from USA are very expensive) https://www.sealey.co.uk/product/5637184962/o200mm-variable-speed-bench-grinder but I can't find any drum grinder with the shaft diameter. Does anyone know of any? If it was in Europe, the better, but if not there is not much of a problem. Thank you very much for your help. Quote
Members Dwight Posted January 12, 2023 Members Report Posted January 12, 2023 I was in your searching idea a couple years ago . . . saw this sander . . . bought it . . . brought it home. It was about 150 dollars US then . . . 160 now My advice would be don't buy this. The drum oscillates up and down while rotating . . . which is great for doing wood projects . . . useless for leather . . . or at least what I do in leather. I have a little noisy 30 inch belt sander that works the very best for me. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

Members sparctek Posted January 12, 2023 Members Report Posted January 12, 2023 if you have or are purchasing a bench grinder, you may want to look at this site https://www.mcmaster.com/drum-sanders/drum-diameter~3/ . I purchased a 3" drum for my grinder and it works very well. Since you are not in the US it may be cost prohibitive, but thought I would share the link... Quote

That's where I buy sanding sleeves for my Cobra burnisher/sander. I think the bench grinder @Kovant picked out has a 5/8" shaft but I am uncertain about the thread size. Quote
Members Kovant Posted January 13, 2023 Author Members Report Posted January 13, 2023 Do not ship to Europe. A pity... Quote
Members Hags Posted January 14, 2023 Members Report Posted January 14, 2023 I use a spindle sander and have been very satisfied with the results. To bad you don't have a Harbor Frieght over there. Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.

Members Handstitched Posted January 17, 2023 Members Report Posted January 17, 2023 I second chuck & dwight, belt/ disc sander. A bit noisy, but it works and I can still get the drive belts . I use a vintage vacuum cleaner as a dust extractor . And if I can't get the adhesive sanding discs, I make my own.
