Create perfectly flat, smooth panels up to 16" wide and the exact thickness you need.

It's not often you can save time and money — this heavy-duty, shop-built project will do both.

Many manufactured thickness sanders can cost three times as much (or more). The one shown above only costs about $200 to build — a big savings. And the time you save smoothing a panel or thicknessing a workpiece can be put to use building more projects.

Powered by the motor on your table saw, this machine can quickly sand panels up to 16" wide so they're flat and smooth — whether it's a 3"-thick work-piece or a strip of veneer only Vm" thick. A simple handcrank feeds the workpiece through at just the right speed and you can watch the sanding dust simply disappear through the see-through dust hood.
