90" of my riser shaping is done on this little sucker. Probably the best bow making tool I have.

Good one Keith! :biglaugh:

TBKII, looks like bjansen has the Rigid oscillating belt/spindle sander - a really nice tool

I don't know why not. Just scale down everything.If you have a machine shop nearby just run it by them. I just explaned it to my local machinist and he did the rest. Bob
