Circle sanding jig

The circle sanding jig will allow you to smooth the edges of a circular work piece with a belt sander in a uniform and controlled fashion. The dimensions of the jig will depend on the size of your sander.

Make the base and the support posts the same way as a sander stand, built without the raised table. Use 1-by-2 stock for the support boards and the Pivot bar, cutting the boards longer than the diameter of your work piece and making the bar longer than the boards.

Screw the boards to the work surface so they will support the work piece near its circumference. Drive a nail through the middle of the pivot bar and press it into the center of the underside of the stock.

Flip the two pieces over and screw one end of the pivot bar to the work surface midway between the support boards, leaving the screw loose enough to allow you to pivot the bar's other end.

To use the jig, set the sander in place on the base, fitting the support posts through the tool's handles. Turn on the sander and, if necessary, readjust the tracking to move the belt down to the jig base; lock the trigger.

To sand the work piece, pull the free end of the pivot bar toward the sander until the stock touches the sanding belt. Clamp the free end of the bar to the work surface.

Then rotate the work piece steadily against the direction of belt rotation until the edge is smooth, periodically shifting the pivot bar toward the sander.
