Good morning everyone -
This is an elementary question, but I firmly believe in learning what works (and what does not) from others!
Related to sanding discs before gluing up. My current procedure is to use my lathe disc sander to flatten one side of all disks. Then, as I glue up I true the opposite side on the lathe. This takes forever, as I have to wait for dry time before I spin this thing at 1500 rpm. I picked up a used Jet drum sander last week. My question: Should I still flatten one side on the disk sander and then run the other sides on the drum sander? OR, as long as my discs are glued nice and flat, can I bypass the disc sander and run both sides through the drum sander?
Thanks!!
Robert
