In this video I introduce a new product I’ve developed and brought to market. I call it the Double Taper sanding disc. It’s a sanding disc to be used in your table saw and will make sanding the edges of work pieces much easier and more accurate. It will help with glue-ups, door and face frame construction, and a multitude of other tasks in the shop. Feel free to ask questions.
This is a product I truly believe can improve your woodworking, its easy, fast, and gives very high quality results. If you enjoy my videos, purchasing a disc for your shop is a great way to help support my channel.

I just installed/used mine for the first time. It worked flawlessly. I can’t believe how crisp my joints are after this!
$149 for the disc and then the price of the paper is too pricey for me….Would love to have one but cannot justify the price…
Muito bem gostei 👍
Well done 👍
I am thoroughly satisfied! The quality of sanding and keeping a 90 degree edge was impressive. I use a jobsite Sawstop and the disc beautifully erased all burn and cut marks from maple I ripped. I am happy I made this purchase!
I just used mine for the first time!!!
I love the results and the MDF edges are church!!
Nice to see a 10" disc available. Conical sanding is only available on a Shopsmith in 12" size. Probably 10" dia. back when they were first introduced in the 60’s with the Mark VII.
Good morning Mike did you ever try the sanding disc on plywood? If so how did it do or didn’t do? THANKS
Mike, have you ever considered adding a coupon code in exchange foe a sub😁
Finally, I got the disc out of the box and on to the table saw. Let start by saying it does everything that Mike says it will do. I started with end sanding a couple of raised panel doors and it work perfect . I don’t have a sled for my table saw so I set the fence up and went slowly. The ends are now perfectly smooth so smooth you almost can’t see the mill work where the style and rail come together. A caution for all potential users. I would suggest you have a blank throat plate that you can customize for use with this disc. It is rather thick too thick obviously for my zero clearance plate, too thick for a standard plate and a dado plate’s slot is not long enough. Luckily I had a blank throat plate. It did take some playing around with multiple blades and even a dado set to get the slot just right. All-in-all great addition to my shop.
Look like an outstanding product
Hey Mike, I noticed the extra slot in your table saw inserts, are these for dust collection? I tried searching your channel but couldn’t find anything. Could you explain the functionally of these slot or point to where I could get some information? Thanks, eh.
Just found this and it sounds like a great new use for the table saw. It looks like it could also be used for traditional disc sanding work, but would be easier if one side were flat instead of tapered.
People with big shops/budgets may buy a second small table saw just for this similar to having a small secondary band saw for dedicated small blades.
Mike – You are, dare I say, brilliant! I have been using this now for about 9 months. It is one of my most favorite things in the shop. I hate sanding edges. I used to sand by hand (no belt sander) to keep as flat as possible, time consuming and never flat. One or two passes with the disc and I’m done. Now I have beautifully flat, crisp edges. Rock on!!!
Finally placed an order for this a couple of minutes ago. I’m about to make a bunch of MDF wainscotting and I think this will be a huge timesaver in getting the edges ready for paint
Mark would you ship to uk ?
mike your work speaks for itself. Superb!
Ive been a woodworker over 60 yrs. this type of plate was available year’s ago. Don’t know why it didn’t become popular, seems like a good idea
Have yet to purchase one but will down the line. Tip… a natural rubber sandpaper stick works well for cleaning the wood pitch from the sanding disk.
Ordered this a couple months ago, have used it a couple times now, and it’s fantastic. Great design, high quality tool and worth the investment. I’ll also add that it was shipped out quickly, thanks!
This thing is amazing! Made my money back in one project. Stop debating and buy this if you want really good edges quickly and easily!
Very slick. Have you considered 220 instead of 180 for the upper limit? If so, what was the deciding factor?
Right on Mike. Found your channel recently & love all the videos. Great job bother
$150usd… 🤣
Back in the early 1970’s (estimated) my father had a disk with a 3 degree taper that he used this way in his 8" table saw. He swore by the results.
I currently only have a Ridged Contractor table saw. Is its RPM going to be to high versus a high quality cabinet saw? Issue, non issue?
So I ordered my disk a few days ago. Got it yesterday and used it today. Great addition to my kit. Really like it and super stoked on how quickly you got it to me. Thanks a ton Mike.
Just bought it and some and some discs. Heard about it on Heisz video. I do not feel I can duplicate the taper.
Why not use an old blade just cut the tips off and bam bobs your uncle
Looking forward to getting mine setup in my saw. Just ordered one now and after seeing all of the positive feedback on this video and all of the fantastic work you demonstrate in your videos, I knew I had to make the purchase.
I’ve watched the video a couple times and must be missing something. I don’t understand how tilting the sander two degrees towards my fence will give a 90 degree edge. Anyone help me understand?
After 30 years of edge sanding the hard way, I’m delighted to see a tool to make the job easier. Great idea Mike. As usual, great video.
youre a freaking genius, got to get me one of these
Hi. I really like this idea of a sanding disk on the table saw. I have a Delta 12” that I bought in 2004 or 05. It’s been in storage for 12 years and I’m just now getting it operational again.
Where can I find out more about your disks? Your website didn’t seem to mention them.
Thanks,
Paul
Will it work on Roland panel saw?
I bought one last year; used it for the first time today to sand edges on cabinet doors. They came out buttery smooth. Great investment!
I purchased it today. I could not find a similar disc for less. The taper sanding disc comes with four sanding discs so it is not that bad. I also bought a Freud sanding disc to convert my Grizzly table saw to a disc sander.
Best $160 tool investment ever. Such a great product and excellent quality. Just like previous comments by Donald I just completed kitchen cabinet doors and this disc saved an incredible amount of time that I was able to spend with family instead of being buried in a major sanding project. Thank you Mike for providing this great product. Also thank you for the excellent customer service!
Could this sanding disc be used in a sliding table saw?
I know your a lone worker, but I bet you would be fun to work with.
I just got mine in the mail today.
It will be installed on my right tilt vintage unisaw once I finish the modifications and restoration.
Now I just have to finish waiting for the 6 month ship times with Incra. Wish they shipped as fast as Mike did 😁👍
Thank you, Mike Farrington. This thing has changed my whole friggin’ perspective. One of the best buys since my track saw 8 years ago. Nice work, man.
could you stand perpendicular to your saw and use it as a super powerful disc sander?
Love the channel and this disc, Mike. I don’t think you mentioned anything about table saw RPM. I have a smaller hybrid saw (Ryobi BT3100)that uses a universal motor that spins considerably faster than most saws. Would this disk be safe and effective to use on it?
I was taught over 60 years ago by a master cabinetmaker that you should NEVER glue a sanded surface … ONLY one that has been cut. Sanding drives debris deep into the pores and prevents the glue from doing it’s job.
Is it a bad idea to use this as general a disc sander?
Great idea, Mike. Your videos are excellent. I like your focus on technique. Great shop too!
Fantastic tool! I noticed you didn’t mention any uses as a traditional disc sander for rounded edges (ie. no fence, approaching from the side on the downward spinning face). Do you anticipate any complications with this use or is it just moving too fast? Have you tried this?
Looks like a fantastic addition to any workworking shop. I’ll be saving my pennies to get one!
oh my. when will it go on sale?
