Aluminum pad with shaft for sanding |
Dec. 19/2021 When I tried to use the rubber pad with φ75 shaft that I bought from Off Corporation a long time ago for the first time in a while, the rubber deteriorated and broken. So I decided to remake it from aluminum. I also made a small aluminum pad for the micro router.Drawing |

 |
|
1.This is a pad whose rubber has deteriorated and has fallen apart. |
2.When the rubber was removed, a shaft screwed into a nut with a claw came out. I decided to divert this shaft. |
|
 |
 |
|
3.Marked on a 3mm thick aluminum plate with a compass. |
4.Cut into a disk shape with a scroll saw. |
|
 |
 |
|
5.A pilot hole is machined in the center with a center drill. |
6.Drilling 5 mm. |
|
 |
 |
|
7.M6 tap. If you grab the tap with the tail stock and process it, you can stand it at a right angle to the aluminum plate. |
8.Since the screw of the removed shaft is short, additional machining is done with a die. |
|
 |
 |
|
9.Lock the screw with the M6 nut so that it will not come loose, but process the nut surface at a right angle so that the shaft is vertical. |
10.Attach the shaft to a 3mm aluminum plate cut into a disk shape and turning the outer circumference. |
|
 |
 |
|
11.This is a 2mm thick aluminum plate cut out for a small aluminum pad. |
12.Drilling 3 mm. |
|
 |
 |
|
13.Counterbore for countersunk screws. |
14.For the shaft, I used a mandrel for a mini router that I bought for 1$. |
|
 |
 |
|
15.Fix the mandrel with M3 * 8L countersunk screws and turning the outer circumference. |
16.Adhere the magic tape to the finished pad with bond G17. |

17.The finished aluminum pad with a shaft. |
18.Sandpaper for small aluminum pads is cut out from a replacement paper with Velcro to φ30 mm with a compass cutter. |
