Title: Lam grinding sled
Post by: Cambow on June 05, 2011, 02:32:00 AM
I have been buying Lams or paying someone else to grind them for me for years. I finally purchased a drum sander so I could do my own. Any suggestions on a good base that won't slip etc?

I was plannig on having a thick piece of action wood made with the taper and then gluing sanding belt strip to it to prevent slipping. I have buit around 150 bows... But have never ground a single lam myself. Any and all suggestions would be much appreciated.

The machine I bought is a Jet 16-32... I'm going to pick tin up in two days... So just trying to get ready to give it a try.

Thanks - Cam
