First MakerWorld Upload! 🎉

5" Lathe Sanding Plate – 1" × 8 TPI

Turn your wood-lathe into a slow-speed, high-torque sander that re-uses those “spent” ROS discs.

🪄 Sculpt-Sanding Bliss (30 seconds):

(also just a great slow-speed, high-torque shop sander)

🚀 Key Features

Fits any 1" × 8 TPI spindle – threads print clean with a 0.4 mm nozzle.
Fits – 5-inch (125 mm) discs.
Foam-pad – Install a ½" hook & loop interface pad for contour sanding bliss.
Re-use dull ROS discs – slow speed + high torque = extra life from 5" sanding discs that have become inefficient on the Random Orbit Sander.
Eight accessory holes – 4 × ¼" and 4 × “Kreg” size for future contour plates or jigs.

🖨 Recommended Print Settings (Bambu P1S/A1 tested)

TL;DR: Don't sweat it.

Bambu PETG-HF filament & filament profile defaults
Bambu 0.20mm Standard print defaults, plus:
- 4 walls
- Archane
- Gyroid 20%

Parameter	Value	Notes
Material	PETG or ABS	PETG = easy & durable; ABS/ASA = extra heat resistance. But unnecessary using a foam interface pad.
Nozzle	0.4 mm	Currently, 0.4mm w/ the below settings requires zero thread cleanup.
Layer Height	0.16-0.20 mm	I've been using 0.20mm.
Walls	4, Arachne	4 = Important for screw holes Arachne = cleaner text
Infill	30 % Gyroid	Really 20% and above.
Supports	OFF	Because supports are annoying.
Build Plate Adhesion	Skirt/Brim optional	I've been printing dozens of these - no skirt/brim - on Textured PEI with no issues.
Cooling	Default Bambu PETG-HF settings

Bonus: I enabled ironing on the text objects so the text appears cleaner.

*Preset .3mf files include these settings – just open & “Send to Printer.”

🛒 What to Buy

5" Adhesive-backed loop pad – Center & stick on hard. (I buy 6" wide rolls, stick them on, then cut to size.)
(optional) 5" Hook & Loop Interface Pad – ½" thick. For sanding silky smooth contours.

🪚 Usage Tips

RPM SLOW. SLOW & Torquey is the magic here. Slow keeps hooks cool & prevents burn marks on end-grain.
Push moderately when sanding. The lathe’s torque lets you shape workpieces fast.
Heat kills Velcro. Clear dust often and back off if discs feel hot. Search YouTube “stop melting your hooks” for more info on this.
Rig up a dust hood and/or wear a dust mask. This can generate a lot of sanding dust real quick!
