How to turn your spindle sander into a planer

- I didn't think it possible, but an oscillating spindle sander, in this case my Triton sander, can be used as a planer. It works!

Your videos and marvelous work capture my full attention. Such a joy!!
Love to see young woman using power tools and being very innovative bet you can cook wonderful too
OK, that is bloody brilliant! I had no idea when I bought my spindle sander that I bought a jointer too.
Fantastic, great idea thanks for sharing. Agree I am also amazed with the dust extraction on the Triton spindle sander.
Pure gold, Susan. Can’t wait to try this!
Downright marvelous contribution! Or, as would have been said in my youth, MARVY!! And, may I add, very pleasant to listen to. Thank you, Susan.
That's brilliant. Perfect for smaller pieces, or wood that chips out easily on a bladed jointer.
Well done - Susan makes it simple yet effective once again.
WOW! I'm going to the shop right now to make one. Thank you Susie!
I bought one of these machines, now this is possible its an extra bonus. Another great video, Thanks.
For a small workshop, that’s a brilliant idea.
Well done.
Great Video Susie. So simple and very effective!
Beautifully done Susan.
Clever trick will build soon would never of thought of that Happy New year to you & thank you for taking your time out to make this videos

Thank you for sharing this Brilliant planing and squaring technique. I Love your videos
Great idea, and the result looks great, will defo be giving this a try.
Just got my triton tsps450 today and then found this video 😀. Another useful thingg I can do with my sander. Thanks for the tip and very nice instruction!
THAT was Well Done ! Thank You ! The success you achieved in producing something that squared off that piece of oak was remarkable. I will be trying to do as well on my own .... referring back to your "saved" video of course. High Regards !
Excellent design! Thanks for sharing.
Well done on coming up with this idea Susan and thanks for sharing. I have been giving the idea of getting a spindle sander some thought. Having seen that I could also use it for cleaning up edges prior to jointing boards, I think one one of those spindle sanders like you have is a must. Regards to you Susan, miss seeing any new videos from you, all the best David.
Awesome! This looks way easier and safer than the electric hand planer jointer I was trying to build.
Another cool tool made by Susan! Now, I am waiting with bated breath for the next installment on the guitar! Thumbs up, and thank you.
Great proof of concept.
terrific hack! well done.
Well like I said in my last comment I went out and bought myself a bobbin sander, the first thing I built was a stand for it, the second item was your jig and I'm well happy, it works perfectly so thankyou for sharing that little gem.
Good idea! Thanks for the video
It does a good job. Good idea.
Very interesting. Great results. Thanks for sharing. I’m subscribing to see more!
This jig is brilliant. I can see using it for a lot of different jobs, such as thinning splines. Your using it to cut a groove in the sanding block is inspired - I would have tried to use my router with a radiusing bit and probably sworn a lot and created more firewood than I like to think about. Like a scrollsaw, your jig is ideal for small piece work where larger scale tools would jack up the risk. Thanks,

Don’t aggravate someone serving you a foamy drink.
Another great tool! I will use it especially when doing guitar necks.
Anything that kills time and does good work. I’m in!
Brilliant little jig, thanks for sharing
Thank you for this supertip, and the music as well 👍
what a great idea! great work
Brilliant - Innovation at its best.
Good idea. Ill give it a try, thanks.
Great idea.
Thanks for sharing it!
I’ve learnt something today. Thank you 👍😎🇦🇺
love it i will do this, you are very creative thank you
I'll have to keep this in mind when I get bigger sanding bits for my drill press.
this is a neat idea. never thought of it. i got a second hand spindle sander and i love it but havent had much time to use it yet.
That’s terrific Susan .Dust abstraction IS the key ,
Nice work there Susan 😁👍
Well done Susan...
Thank you very much 👍 this is a really clever idea 👏😀
new thinking and very helpful
Great idea
😃
Love it.
nicely done!!!
Susan nice work.
Ingenious! Poor man's planer... and very small too! This is for me. Thanks
GENIUS!
Susy: You are absolutely, fantabulous.
Nice work.
amazing , you're fantastic well done :-)
Going to make one as well. For stabilized knife scales.
Well done. Now to see if I can adapt this to a Rigid. Thanks
Stuff what any nay sayers comment, I think it's genius and will definitely be building one, I'm looking at buying an oscillating sander but didn't know if I should buy one with the belt attachment, with your jig I can save £100 brilliant and thankyou.
I’m totally doing this today!
I have a multi laminate guitar neck blank that I need to get flat to attach the fretboard, with the grain running in all directions hand planning will probably cause tear out all over the place. I think I'm gonna make one of these. 👍
that is fascinating
Amazing concept. I have a rigid sander which will require an additional bottom plate to the design for it to have space to clamp. But no longer do i have to buy a jointer!
Excellent.
very nice !!!
Very nice. I might just use this too. I would use a saw to get it square as I could then the jig to finish it smooth
Cool. I just bought a used Triton spindle sander, so will def keep this in mind for the future. Keep up the good work!
great vid indeed!
Informative video--thanks for sharing. Have you by any chance used this to joint edges of acoustic guitar top or back plates?
Your the wizz of "how to turn smthg into smthg -- else" ,,, love ur alternative tool brain
The freehand work on the band saw was gobsmacking.
Impressive!
Genius ... Subscribed...
That was some smooth bandsaw work
Does anyone knows which bandsaw is used on this video?
Record Power Sabre 350
Brilliant
Fantastic!
That's great for jointing smaller pieces before glue up.
thank you
Brilliant.
Overall, a great idea! However, with this particular block, I think it would have made sense to take a small sliver off the rough end with band saw, using the mitre guage or with either a mitre saw or table saw using a crosscut sled. The final finishing could have been done with your brillian jig. However, after removing a sliver of wood you would probably only need need a finishing pass on the edge. Given the aount of material removed with each pass vs. the amount that needed to be removed, you are looking at a slow process. Since there is no apparent offset between the planes of the infeed and out feed sections, (i.e.they are coplanar), the corners of the work piece will be slightly rounded off to an extent approaching that to which the drum lies proud of the surfaces.
thanx for a new tool...
Brilliant! 😌
You can make a similar platon to mount on the top of your drum sander (in plain with the dust extraction hose) so that you can do the same for large things which need flattening but wont easily fit under the sander. Now I just need an oscillating spindle sander so I can make one of these !!
Very cool! Just bought a oscillating spindle sander for my buisness will definitely be fabricating one of these fences. It's much closer to a bench jointer than a planer though considering you have a perfect 90 degree surface to work with. A planer does not.
Thank you I always enjoy your videos only dream of making a guitar
Great Susan! I have the same Triton. WIll make this tomorrow.(The cut on the outer part, will I make before screwing it on)
Sheer genius!
Genius
Nice idea SuGar, you could mske a similar on a router tsble 2ith along straight or spiral cutter. Even more effective with a mitre track & carrier to guide material through
Genius!
Hi, only just found this video while searching for something else, great idea, although I am thinking you missed a trick to make your idea, (I'm guessing), a great one. On the outfeed side you can add a plastic strip 0.5mm thick between the outfeed side and where you screwed it too. Maybe since you might have considered this, but a great job you have done.
I would have thought of that...eventually👍
Brilliant!👏🎸
Was für eine super 👍 tolle Idee 💡👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 werde ich mir auf jeden Fall merken 😉 Allen Dank für das Video und die top Vorstellung 👋🏼👋🏼 wünsche dir noch eine gute Zeit in deiner Werkstatt und verbleibe mit den besten Grüßen aus Braunis Bastelhütte
Very nice, Sue. I think you might call it a "finishing planer" since the result is so fine. Just a thought...
Just saw this great work im off to make my spindel sander into a planer
i watch you for a wile now and i love your work....there are plenty informations on guitar building in your channel..great work ...do you live in portsmouth?
For wider pieces, you could put a top table on your drum sander, with a vertical fence to keep things square. I can't think of a simple way to provide the oscillating action tho.
awesome
If you wished to take more off each stroke you could use a smaller spindle that will stick out further taking more of each pass
Hi Susan, I have a sip sander and I think it is the same as yours just re banded, Unfortunately the gears that make it go up and down have been replaced twice already and I don't use it that much. I hope yours is better built than mine.
