Hole Saw Sander A recent project involved smoothing the contoured edges of several workpieces. A drum sander on the the drill press would have been just the ticket, but I didn t have one that was the right size for the job. So I improvised. As you can see in the photo, I put together a makeshift sanding drum by wrapping adhesive- backed sandpaper around a hole saw. The only trick is to avoid the teeth along the bottom rim of the saw. To do this, you ll need to add a raised table to the drill press, as shown in Fig. 1. This table is simply a piece of plywood with a cutout that wraps around the bottom of the hole saw sander. This simple arrangement did the job well and saved me a fair amount of time. RDW Hole Saw Sander.doc 1/6/06
