Spindle sander problem

Postby Andyp » 31 May 2022, 16:26

Bought the Scheppach OSM 100, probably the same as the Triton one.

Currently awaiting a response from Scheppach but I thought I’d ask here in case I am being stupid..

The tool comes with 6 sanding sleeves but only 5 rubberised drums. The destruction book confirms this as does the outside of the box. There is no drum for the smallest size sleeve :shock:
So how is one expected to use it? The inside diameter of the smallest sleeve is a friction fit to the outside diameter of the oscillating spindle. Am I expected to sand against that?

The Triton one is the same ie supplied with 6 sleeves but only 5 drums, surely sanding against that steel spindle is not a great idea?

Sound highly plausible to me.
It would be impossible to make a bobbin to fit that smallest sleeve and still fit the machine.
My sander does not have a shaft like yours and so all sleeves have matching bobbins that screw onto a tapered stub below the table.

Check that there is no run out on the shaft. I bought my pre-owned and it has an annoying wobble which is on my round -2-it list but pretty near the bottom as I don't use it much.

Ok Bob, I guess that sanding against something hard like that is going to take a little more care than against the slight give of the rubber drum. I’ll have a play tomorrow afternoon and see how I get on.

I’ll need that smallest size to get inside the smaller curves.

Cover the bottom, put the shiny washer over the sanding sleeve followed by the s
shiny nut.

I have two bobbin sanders, a Jet and another which l forget the name of, I will check tomorrow.
One of them has a 12mm bobbin, the abrasive is held by an angle bracket for a better word with a hole in one side, this goes over the threaded shaft when you tighten the nut on the top of the shaft the other half pinches the abrasive.

l will upload a picture tomorrow

Fixed it to mobile cabinet and fired it up. Very pleased so far. Extraction is excellent hooked up to a shop vac.

Tried a couple of the drums and even with the rough 60 grit supplied the finish on both pine and oak is very smooth. I can see the need for a false table in order that I am not just using the bottom 25 % of the sanding drum. I can turn the sleeve upside down obviously but that still only uses 50%.

The smallest sleeve works just fine fitted direct to the spindle.
