Hand Crank Disc Sander - Creation, Restoration, and Modification

Some tools you just fall in love with after one use. The Alberti Design disc sander was one of these tools. It's a deceptively simple and seemingly low-tech machine: an 8" disc sander wheel without a motor that instead is operated by a simple hand crank. The tool is finely made, allowing for a wide range of adjustment and fixturing, and has a tremendous mechanism for allowing multiple discs and hones to be easily and swiftly swapped out to suit the task at hand. The advantage of a machine like this is that it allows the operator to very carefully remove small amounts of material at a time, making for seriously smooth and precise finishing. The delicate touch it allows the operator to impart to the work is both tactile and controlled. A few of my colleagues own these, and using them for fine adjustments on bridges, soundposts, and other small delicate fitment jobs has been incredible. The only thing which prevented me from getting one myself was the cost. Alberti Design's machine (now on its second iteration) is indeed amazing and in my opinion more than worth its weight in gold as a precision tool. However, I couldn't really afford one, and for outfitting my home shop which is not high-capacity output at this time, cost was a factor. It was also something that, in the back of my mind, I felt I could potentially create or modify out of an existing machine. For many years, I have had this kicking around in the back of my mind. As my home shop was coming to fruition in early fall of 2020, I got serious about the sander. More information about this project can be found at my website: www.sahamann.com/hand-crank-disc-sander
