Required Drum Washers for Delta BOSS Spindle Sander
user-4934217
| Posted in General Discussion on
Over the years I’ve lost track of the washers I need to axially compress the sanding drums on my Delta BOSS spindle sander. If anyone can supply me the dimensions (ID, OD and thickness) and corresponding uses of these washers I will be most grateful. Also, what keeps the 1/2″ dia. sleeve from slipping on the 1/2″ steel arbor?
Thanks!

The washers on my spindle sander ended up wherever lost washers go. I got a variety of washers, fender washers, etc from the hardware store to replace them. You want thick washers to compress the rubber spindle a bit. Too thin and the washer will potato chip. I think on one of the sizes I had to CA glue a few thin washers together.
On the smallest sleeve I just have an oversized washer to keep the sleeve on the naked spindle.
