I am wanting to build a large drum sander so I can sand glue ups and stuff like that. I have been looking on the web for ideas. So far I want to do the powered conveyor feed, probably stationary table height so table extensions are easy to do. Any thoughts as to what the max workpiece thickness should be. Is there a standard? I'm thinking around 6" should be enough Red Hill corporation/supergrit is just down the road so all the sanding stuff including a conveyor belt is easy to get. I am on the look out for threaded rod for the height adjustment, and a good size motor. I think a 16 TPI threaded rod would be good or should I get something finer. If anyone has a motor that needs "disposed of" let me know. Any other thoughts in general. This is going to be a long project and needs to be on the cheap so I think I will be looking to cheap materials and gathering them slowly before I start. If a motor showed up at my doorstep mysteriously I wouldn't complain
