Here's another video. This time on an oscillating spindle sander i've built.

It's probably better to watch it natively on youtube than embedded, you get a bigger picture frame and there's some stuff in the video descrption like a link to the cad file.

Also thanks to the folk that helped with the chuck problem.

Had to laugh at you with the saw and that 2x2 steel bar :P  did you consider using tube?

Hi there, Simon,

That's a good project brought to a good result.  You certainly don't hang about.   :clap:   :clap:   :clap: 

Shows me up - I tend to over-think my projects.  'Sometimes I sits and thinks but sometimes I just sits.'   :scratch:   :Doh:   :scratch:   :Doh:   :scratch:   :Doh: 

I don't mean to be a smart-a**e but one thing puzzled me though - considering how ingenious and productive you are with wood, why didn't you think to make a wooden fixed steady?  It would have avoided  a wait and would have been durable enough to sort out your spindle problem.

My original plan was to weld 2 50x50x5mm angle iron bits together to make a tube but I didn't fancy my chances of getting them aligned that well. I also find that the edges of square tube tend to be slightly concave and without a mill it'd be alot of hassle filing and scraping them flat. The square block with it's sharp corners was handy to reference from too.
