Hey all.
I am going to be working on a bowie handle tomorrow and was thinking about a small wheel attachment. Up until now I have been using the drill press with different sized sanding drums but the sanding tubes go fast and I get wood dust all over everything as the drill press is in the garage.
My question is: have any of you built, or have recommendations for a small wheel attachment for the grizzly?
I was thinking (depending on how low the arm for the tracking wheel goes) I could build an arm that attaches to the bolts that hold the platen. Maybe of a thick bar that widens to two slots to attach to the bolts and then at the other end, a rod to attach bearings and a wheel to. Any suggestions or faults you see in this idea?
Thanks all
Ian
