Hello,

I'm looking to make a bench sander. I have an electric motor with a 14mm shaft. I just need to find a decent sized flange plate to fit it, so I can attach my sanding disk. I bought a flange plate online, but it so small, I have visions of being decapitated by the sanding disc when I power up.

So, if anyone knows where I can source this flange plate / coupler, that would be a great help.

Or, would I be better to buy a pulley and drill it to suit?

Thanks,

Dan
 
You could do as I did and post a request on the metalwork forum to see if a member can turn one for you. I simply measured the motor shaft and gave the size of the sander plate and one skilled chap made me this:

This is the finished sander and I'm delighted with it:
