 Nick's
Oval Cutting Jig
Oval cutting Jig

Nick's Oval Cutting Jig
In 1998 we ran into a job that required an oval to be cut
on opposite sides of a sign that had to be a perfect match.
So with this challenge we came to the conclusion that we
required an oval cutting machine.
The machine shown above was the result of that
challenge. It uses aluminum extrusions and
UHMW slides which make beautiful friction free actions.
The size of oval is omni-adjustable and the base is
fastened by 4 small squares of double sided tape thus
eliminating all marks on your project.
This machine can be adapted to virtually any router with ease.
Our standard version has a 3 foot arm which will allow
you to cut ovals up to about 5 feet long. However we can build
you a machine to fit your custom needs whether it be
smaller or larger.
We also include a circle cutter base with our package.
Again double sided tape is used to hold down the base,
which is made from 1/2" acrylic and about 5" square.
Or we can supply a screw down base for those really big
jobs and where screw holes will not destroy your project.
And off course the circle cutter just like the oval cutter is
omni-adjustable.

The price of this complete package is
only $175.00 Can.

As above with two oval bases,
one regular and one small only $200.00 Can.
Comparable to machines selling for as much as $600.00 US

Nick's New Drum
Surface Sander Kit

18" drum sander

Over the past year we have developed a super new
surface sander utilizing an 18" Velcro® covered drum that uses
looped paper spiral wound around it.
This machine requires only a 1/4 or 1/3 hp motor and paper
only costs about $1.00 per refill.
This machine can not only surface sand long flat pieces
but also edges and is just the ticket for finishing off those
pins on dovetails and box joints to perfection.
All sanding dust is contained in a drawer below the drum
and can easily be dumped.

 Nick's New 30" Surface Sander
   30" surface sander

24" and 30" Surface Sander

Here at last is the new 30" Surface Sander that we have designed. We have had many requests for this machine and are pleased to be able to offer you the plans for this machine now. We have developed a plan for the machine shown above which we built for our show demos and found that people were very interested in it. Sold several as we were perfecting our machine and we are now ready to go.
However we do not put together quite as comprehensive a package for it as we do for the 18" surface sander kit.
First the 30" requires a 11/2 hp 1725 rpm motor. This should be a totally enclosed fan cooled model. Since these come in a variety of shaft sizes and frames it is not possible to include such things as pulleys and belt etc. And although we have a plan many people build the machine to fit in with existing benches or machinery in their shop. However the skeleton construction can still be used as we offer it.

A 24" drum is also available and the 30" plan can be used to build it as well. Just reduce the length of all your parts appropriately.

*New Improved 24" and 30" Drums*
I am told that the current drums being produced both 24" and 30" are better balanced and accurately machined thus requiring less power to drive. Depending on the grit of paper used, you may be able to get away with a 1 hp motor or less.

The plan is $15.00 Can. The drum, bearings and paper are as listed above. The 30" drum is $215.00 Can. The 24" drum is $185.00 Can. The bearings $35.00 Can. for the pair. and the paper is $42.95 Can. per roll of 25 yards. 60 grit $46.95 per roll. The top is constructed somewhat different than with the small one and several methods are suggested in the plan.

We suggest a 48" length of T track for holding the fences at $16.00 Can. and a pack of four 1/4" star knobs with bolts for securing the fence at $6.50 Can. We can also supply a 31/2" balanced steel Browning pulley for $22.50 Can. to fit the drum shaft. We recommend about a 23/4" pulley for the motor.

Above you have a couple of pictures of the model we built which has had a couple of small modifications that experience dictated since these pictures but basically remains the same.

   24" Sanding Drum

You will notice that the 24" sanding drum has a
somewhat extended shaft on one end.
This was done so that those who wish to, can add
such attachments as you see shown to the left here.
You will find these listed separately above.
The 24" drum sander can be constructed
similar to the 30" shown above or according
to your own design.

The 24" sander is much more aggressive than the
18" drum sander and is therefore very suitable
for small production shops.
It will require a 1HP motor at 1725 rpm for
minimum power.
Motor speed should be 1725 rpm.
