discussion new thing, sanding your HDD

actually, it's sanding with your HDD where your platter is the blade!

Old hard drive modded into a variable speed disc sander, spinning rust sands things nicely

The motor probably only has enough torque for finer tooling and grinding projects.

The one thing I always wanted to do with a bunch of old hdds is turn them into speakers but I keep telling myself I have enough projects.... this actually looks helpful though.
