Saw a pic of one on here once ,who did it and how??
Don't understand your question!
not a ridgid-but the concept is the same-that is the pattern jig sitting on it----

Mike what's the curved metal made from?
1" x 1/16" steel
sorry I was so long--I was out of town hunting
Nice simple setup, Mike!!
it was a proto type that worked so good I still use it kenny
OK thanks
Bamboo, can you explain how it works- looks like a chinese puzzle to me- cant figure it out :knothead:
the riser block is roughed out slightly over sized on a bandsaw---then clamped in to the pattern jig to ground to finish shape
you push the base of the jig against the "rub-rail' and grind the riser blank until it matches the shape of the pattern jig ---I hope that helps

Good setup. Bue--. :)
so i guess the pattern jig is 1/16" smaller than desired finished size- or even a tad smaller than that to match the gap.
does the steel rub collar have a flange on the underside, so that it is attached to the underside of the table?
many thanks

no flange-but the plywood is double thick @the drum-fitting trough the hole in the cast iron-giving the rub collar twice the attachment area and a purchase with the machine
cool thx.
so its screwed to the plywood base plate- and it in turn is clamped to the cast iron surface?
many thanks
correct--
awesome, thanks mike

I can make a flange for the rigid sander. It's out of a high impact plastic. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send you pictures. It's what I use for mine.
I have the Rigid and would like to see your setup.
Me too I'd like to see your rigid Sanders set up .joe
nother "me too" on that. Maybe you could post photos here?
I used a piece of thin steel tubing same ID as the sandpaper and about an 1" wide. i put it on the rubber drum below the sandpaper. It rubs on the jig under the piece I am sanding to shape. The best place I found thin tubing was old vehicle driveline tube. Jim
Sorry for not getting back. I've been away and will be returning home Saturday. I'll get some pics posted of the Rigid inserts.
here is a picture of the insert for my rigid sander. sorry its upside down. lol
