Decided I needed to use the disk sander and looked at the abrasive and it was nasty dirty. So I went to replace it. Lots of heat to get it off, then heat, lacquer thinner, acetone, putty knife, razor blade sandpaper and lots and lots of work to get all the adhesive off. Took about an hour. Now I might remember why it kept going with the old disk so long.

The last couple days I've been firing up the old SS for some multi tasking. One thing I noticed is that the accessories -- band saw, jointer, and disk sander use a rather large dust collection device -- the floor. And my pants and shoes. Back in the day, very few tools incorporated any kind of dust collection capabilities and SS was no exception. I've got a Delta band saw that has a dust port but 90% of the dust gets scattered, an oscillating spindle sander with none, and I remember the old Delta and Craftsman "contractor" table saws that just dumped the sawdust out the bottom. Even my Unisaw just has a tray at the bottom tilted to dump the dust out the side I fitted a box around the opening and connected up to a dust port, but ended up with pants full of sawdust yesterday coming out the arch for the blade tilt mechanism.
