I have been mostly happy with my HF 12" disc sander, with one exception. The trunnion setup is pretty lousy. The table does not stay at 90 degrees to the disc. There is a ton of slop and tightening it down seems to not be effective. I seldom want to use it at any angle other than 90 degrees so I have considered just drilling a couple extra holes for bolts to lock it in position. I could remove the extra bolts on the relatively rare time I want another angle.
OTOH, it would be nice to have a decent set of trunnions. Does anyone know if the trunnions from one of the other 12" disk sanders or some other tool easily can be fitted to the HF sander?
Resetting the table to 90 degrees at every usage gets old after a while.
