Wood lathe disc sander – Part 5B
Before continuing with the sliding sled box I noticed that the MDF sanding disc had wheel to much wheel wobble so corrected that while it’s in my mind.
One side of the 30cm disc was not completely flush with the backing disc. This what happens when you didn’t use clamps before driving screws.
For that side I backed off four screws, put on two clamps and the drove the screws in again – wobble gone.

Before mounting the table we need to route a channel for the mitre gauge. I’ve decided to go with the vintage Sher mitre gauge – ALL METAL
