L’an passé j’ai fabriqué une ponceuse manuelle pour détails et arêtes, laquelle j’aime beaucoup, au point d’en réaliser d’autres.
Last year I made an edge and detail light sander, which I like so much that decided to make few more.
Le premier modèle étant fait, il est facile de le dupliquer, ici sur une chute de pin.
The first model being done, it is easy to replicate, here on a pine scrap.
Je coupe près de la ligne à la scie à ruban, tout en restant très prudent aux extrémités (encerclé).
I cut close to the line at the band saw, while being very careful at the ends (circled).
Je ponce jusqu’aux lignes convexes à ma ponceuse à disque maison, incluant une extrémité.
I sand to the convex lines at my homemade disc sander, including one end.
Et un tambour abrasif monté sur la perceuse à colonne pour les courbes concaves.
And a drum sander mounted on the drill press for the concave curves.
Finalement, je ponce progressivement l’autre extrémité pour obtenir un ajustement serré.
Finally, I progressively sand the other end to get a tight fit.
L’ajustement doit être serré parce que c’est la main (ou les doigts) qui viendra tendre la courroie de ponçage encore plus serrée.
The fit must be tight because the hand (or fingers) will stretch the sanding belt tighter.
Le bâti étant plus large que la courroie, je peaufine à la dégauchisseuse.
The body being wider than the belt, I fine tune at the jointer.
À la table à toupie (défonceuse), j’arrondis les arêtes avec une fraise de 1/8″ (3 mm) de rayon.
At the router table, I round over the edges with a 1/8″ (3 mm) router bit.
J’ai maintenant un meilleur éventail de ponceuses manuelles, lesquelles je garde pendues au dessus de mon établi.
Now I have a better range of hand detail sanders, which I keep hung above my workbench.
You never cease to amaze me with all the ideas you keep coming up with Serge. I just wish mind was as fertile as yours.
All the very best my friend.
Bob from Down Under.
ps…I’ll sending some pics of my “new” work bench when I feel I have something worthwhile to show you.
Hi Bob,
I’m also amazed. I see this as a gift since as ideas come by themselves. I keep my mind open as well as my eyes.
I’d be more than happy to see more of your pics.
Be happy my friend,
Serge
Salut Serge,
I understand that you round over the edges for comfort, but do you think it would be advantageous to leave the edges near the ends square so you can sand further into corners?
Chris
Salut Chris,
This is a good idea, and it’s a manner of choice. I like to use a sanding block in corners. Because of that, your idea never crossed my mind. Thanks for raising it.
Serge
