Sanding Jig For Segmented Woodturning Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- Showing how to build a sanding jig for a Disc Sander that allows me to refine the angles on segments used in segmented woodturning. Includes information on how to calibrate the sander and how to sand the segments. This is part 1 of 2 parts.
I have learned the hard way that accuracy is best in making things.
I couldn’t agree more, Judith! Take care!
After sanding both ends, isn't the resulting reading twice the real error?
Great video and great jig. Thanks for the hard work and post.
The idea is to be sure that the adjuster is calibrated so that there is no error to worry about. I haven't had any problems with it.
Hello Gord, I hope you are doing well. I have a question for you I thought you might be able to answer for me. In watching your video on building this jig, I notice that you are using green colored discs on your disc sander. I'm wondering if those are Zirconia PSA discs, and if they are do they last a lot longer than the Aluminum Oxide discs? Here in the U. S. we have a company by the name of “Empire Abrasives” and they offer a green disc that looks like the ones you use so I thought they might be the same type of disc. A package of 10 12” discs is $49.99 whereas the Aluminum Oxide discs are 10 for $29.99. So I thought I would ask you about them and if those ones that you are using are the Zirconia PSA discs, are they worth the extra money? Thanks Gord I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks very much.

Hi Jim,
The green discs are Ceramic and I bought them years ago. They were sold by Shopsmith. I haven’t looked for them for a long time but I assume Shopsmith has a website that you can look for them on. They last a very long time and I liked them a lot.
Take care,

Hi Gordon, Have you ever made a wood centring cone for gluing up segmented rings on the lath .cheers Donnie
No, I have never tried that, Donnie. For the past little while I have been using my Cole Jaws to centre the rings. It seems to work very well. Also, in case you don’t know about it I do not use that sanding jig any longer. I have been using Jerry Bennett’s wedgie sled ever since I discovered it. You might want to check that out. Thanks for watching!
Happy turning,
.....Gord
Hi Gord, love the jig. I see you bought a Delta 12” disc sander. How do you like it and would you recommend.. is there any other sander you looked ar?
Thanks Bill
Hi Bill,
I’ve had that sander for about 20 years and I have never had a complaint with it. I honestly don’t remember if I even looked at any others. The only thing I might want is a 16” sander rather than the 12” but it’s not often that I would need the larger disc. Also, the larger sanding discs are not as easy to find.
Thanks for watching!

This is going to be a great table. As far as getting your fence at 90*, I agree with you. You let a little go here and a little go there you can be way out of whack on down the road. I have been wanting a Disc Sander but I don't which to get. I see you have a Delta, so how do you like it? Would you buy it again?
Hi Don,
Yes, I do like the Delta Disc Sander! However, if you're thinking of using it for segmented turning, as I showed in the video, I would advise you to look at the Wedgie Sled developed by Jerry Bennett. I have a video showing how it works and that's the method I use now. I wouldn't have made this video or part 2 if I had known about the Wedgie Sled but this video was out before I heard about the Wedgie Sled. I only leave the video available because it gives people an idea of what can be done with it. For general woodworking I like the Disc sander a lot. I hope this answers your question.
Take care,
.....Gord
@@GordonRock1 Thanks, Gord. I already have a Wedgie Sled and it works very well. I like the table you made for your disc sander. Have a safe rest of the day.
Sorry, Don, I misunderstood. My apologies! Take care!
Hi Gordon,
Please could you tell me which grade of sanding disc you use on your machine.
Many Thanks
Chris
Chris Burton Hi Chris,I use 100 grit discs.
Very kool idea there Gord but i do have one comment, you can talk to my friends and i am so for from being a saftey Natzi it's not funny but that third cut on the table saw is just how Mike the Wyoming wood turner lost his fingers. Do as you will but i thought you deserved to know ...no reason for an accident due to lack of knowing
Cheers
Hi Dennis,
I appreciate the concern, I really do. First, my fingers are a lot further from the blade than it appears in the video. I actually am VERY concerned with safety!! Second, I'm using a SawStop and while I don't have TOTAL faith in the technology, I used to sell SawStop so I was able to see the brake system demonstrated many times and believe in it quite strongly. I actually had the brake on my saw triggered because I was cutting wood that was wetter than I realized. When that brake engages believe me it will wake you up in a hurry. Thank you for the comment! I would rather hear from you than from many who really don't care about safety.
Take care,
.....Gord
Yes i can appreciate the technology but i was more thinking of all the people who use vids like these as a step by step guide for doing things and who might not have a sawstop table saw .. i know one cant be responsible and think of everything but just thinking of ya and i still love the vids
cheers
What model disk sander do you have? I am looking for a good disk sander but they seem to have weak system for 90 degree angle adjustment.
I have a Delta, Model #31-120. I must admit I need to tweak it occasionally as the 90 degree adjustment does not hold as well as I would like.
Thank you. I have noticed sales pictures do no show much detail on the adjustment method.
By the way love the gig. Your video is the final straw that caused me to order a 12" disk sander this morning
Michael Trissal Hope you enjoy it. What model did you order?
possible email is better for this but here goes--Ray Allen shows forming 1/4 thick segmented rings. I have done several but they are a miserable thing to produce. If you use hose clamps they are almost impossible to keep flat as they torque into awful contortions, even using funny combinations of weight to hold them down they are quite ugly. The hand pressure method always seems to produce oblong shapes. Any thoughts on doing very thin segments? I have done many bowls but have never properly mastered this step? Thanks Alan
Jean MacHardy Hi Alan. Any time I have needed thin rings I just put together a ring of about 3/4" thick, glue it on and then part off whatever thickness I don't want. I've had great success in doing rings as thins as 1/32" this way. Also, I usually have enough left to use the rest of the ring on another spot. In one instance I got 3 individual rings from one thick ring. Take care, Alan. Hope this helps. .....Gord
Good video. Don't forget the safety gear! Have a great day!

How to DIY with Sammy Bones Thanks for watching, Sammy. Yes, I'm a believer in safety gear; without it I might not still be here. Thanks for commenting!
Close isn't close enough.

Well said, Scott. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Take care,

Had to turn it off. That INCESSANT, thumping, headache-inducing, endlessly repetitious background "music" became downright maddening after a while. Who clicks on how-to videos to listen to music? I've never understood that.
Yes, it’s bad. That was 9 years ago and I was just learning to edit audio. Sorry it bothered you so much! 😢😢 Newer videos are certainly better.
