Claim 3

The structure set forth in claim 1, wherein the sanding means includes a Masonite disk mounted on the rotatable drive, said Masonite disk having a sandpaper surface on at least one side thereof.

Claim 4

The structure as set forth in claim 2, together with an exhaust compartment within the support structure connectable to a vacuum source for exhausting sawdust from the device.

Claim 5

A sander device for sanding multi-angle ends on workpieces comprising; a substantially cubical support structure having a removable top member, a longitudinal aperture in said top member, a drive motor mounted within said support structure, a pulley on said drive motor, a bearing arbor supported within said support structure and connected to the pulley on the drive motor by a drive belt and pulley on said arbor, a sanding disk means mounted on the other end of said arbor and passing through the aperture in the removable top member, adjustable guide means mounted on the top surface of the removable for maintaining a desired angle of sanding, at least four slotted brackets attached to the underside of the removable top member and held by nuts and bolts to the substantially cubical support structure, and sawdust removing means associated with the substantially cubical support structure which is adapted to utilize the conventional home vacuum cleaner, the sanding disk means for cool sanding of workpieces including a Masonite disk of approximately one-fourth inch in thickness suitably coated with sanding material on at least one surface thereof, the adjustable guide means mounted on the removable top including two pivotally mounted rectangular guide members having adjusting flanges perpendicular to the guide members integral therewith an arcuate slots in said adjusting flanges, said adjusting flanges slidable along the top surface of the top and adjustably retained in position thereon by locking screws, and additional guide means which includes two flat triangular shaped guide members having arcuate corners and each said plate being provided with a longitudinal slot for permitting the guide plates to be slid and rotated on the top surface of the removable top and positively retained in adjusted position by means of large head locking screws.

Claim 6

A sander device for sanding multi-angle ends on workpieces comprising; a substantially cubical support structure having a removable top member, a longitudinal aperture in said top member, a drive motor mounted within said support structure, a pulley on said drive motor, a bearing arbor supported within said support structure and connected to the pulley on the drive motor by a drive belt and pulley on said arbor, a sanding disk means mounted on the other end of said arbor and passing through the aperture in the removable top member, adjustable guide means mounted on the top surface of the removable for maintaining a desired angle of sanding, at least four slotted brackets attached to the underside of the removable top member and held by nuts and bolts to the substantially cubical support structure, and sawdust removing means associated with the substantially cubical support structure which is adapted to utilize the conventional home vacuum cleaner, the sanding disk means for cool sanding of workpieces including a Masonite disk of approximately one-fourth inch in thickness suitably coated with sanding material on at least one surface thereof, the adjustable guide means mounted on the removable top including two pivotally mounted rectangular guide members having adjusting flanges perpendicular to the guide members integral therewith an arcuate slots in said adjusting flanges, said adjusting flanges slidable along the top surface of the top and adjustably retained in position thereon by locking screws, and additional guide means which includes two flat triangular shaped guide members having arcuate corners and each said plate being provided with a longitudinal slot for permitting the guide plates to be slid and rotated on the top surface of the removable top and positively retained in adjusted position by means of large head locking screws.

Claim 7

The structure as set forth in claim 4, wherein the sawdust removing means which is adapted to utilize a conventional home vacuum cleaner includes a removable panel on one side of the substantially cubical support structure, and an exhaust connection is mounted on said removable panel which is adapted to connect to a conventional vacuum cleaner connector.
