Finally, I got the disc out of the box and on to the table saw. Let start by saying it does everything that Mike says it will do. I started with end sanding a couple of raised panel doors and it work perfect . I don't have a sled for my table saw so I set the fence up and went slowly. The ends are now perfectly smooth so smooth you almost can't see the mill work where the style and rail come together. A caution for all potential users. I would suggest you have a blank throat plate that you can customize for use with this disc. It is rather thick too thick obviously for my zero clearance plate, too thick for a standard plate and a dado plate's slot is not long enough. Luckily I had a blank throat plate. It did take some playing around with multiple blades and even a dado set to get the slot just right. All-in-all great addition to my shop.

Just found this and it sounds like a great new use for the table saw.

You have done a very good job of describing the disk and it's use. Your diagram in excellent. The function is quite simple when you think about it for a minute or so.

It worked very well but as I recall I quit using it because I hated changing saw blades.

That is part of my reasoning for the 2 degrees. That particular disc was what I recommended for a while.

Fortunately its cheap enough to where its not a huge loss.

@JasonPeltier

@@ShopTherapy623 I'm currently doing a batch of items that takes right at 30 minutes to sand the pieces for each unit. I figure this disc will cut that down to 5 minutes. So saving 50 minutes per hour seems pretty cool to me. On the low end, at $30/hour shop charge, that's 6 hours of "not" sanding to pay for the disc. That would be 12 units in my case. I planned on cranking out 32 of these a week, and the sanding is definitely the bottleneck. 32 units are estimated at 44 hours. With the time savings this disc could save, those same 32 units will take an estimated 36 hours. I could make another 6-8 units per week which translates into $400-500 extra profit per week. So to sum up: 1. I can save about 2 hours per day by using this disc to sand. 2. I can pay for this disc after saving 6 hours of sanding which is only 3 days. 3. I can make up to an additional 8 units per week which will translate into up to $500 in profit per week. The first week there would actually only be a $350 profit. But subsequential weeks would be $500. 4. And you're supporting a small business instead of a name brand.

Jason Peltier I get that, and no doubt these are probably better than the cheaper ones and will end up making you money if you’re a professional woodworker. As a hobbyist, they’re just a little out of my price range.

my next purchase for sure

Love the product and as always a first rate presentation. I am not sure I could justify the price in cdn dollars with today's exchange rate. As a hobbyist, not sure it makes financial sense to me, although I likely will buy it so I can put it with all the other tools I couldn't justify. I know I would use it, so it is a definite maybe for the near future. Good job Mike and I hope you have great success with it.

Maybe it's a bit pricey for some hobbyists, but for a production shop it looks like a great investment. The conical shape of the disc is well thought out, too. Good stuff!

I purchased it today. I could not find a similar disc for less. The taper sanding disc comes with four sanding discs so it is not that bad. I also bought a Freud sanding disc to convert my Grizzly table saw to a disc sander.
