Oh yeah new toy

[heartlandbowyer]

Been wanting one for a while now so I ordered 1/27 yes that's right yesterday morning. Freight co must have been coming through Springfield Mo to be that on top of things. I was thinking my sandpaper roll would beet the sander here but I was wrong. It came with 120 grit so I will just have to play a bit, I don't think that's course enough for glue up.

you'll love it.. Figure out the seam in the belt .  if not itll make a little bump bump in  your veneer

Nice addition to the shop Cory!

[Bowjunkie]

Sweet! Enjoy!

I think if you use a sled that seam aint gonna matter. BTW you will like that machine.

[Trux Turning]

You will find a bunch of uses for that!

The 120 grit is plenty good enough for glue ups.

EA 40 smooth on technical bulletin says to prepare glue surfaces with 120grit. Just saw that today. Although it seems I've heard people use coarser grit.

[heartlandbowyer]

Well I better get busy then, I could do a one swipe with the 50 grit sanding block to rough it up a bit more without removing any wood.

I guess it's ok..  

I looked at my belt and it does not have a seam..

[heartlandbowyer]

I couldn't find one either it looks like a molder one piece belt that they tube mold and cut to width. I will run a long board through it and feel for the dip.

Now I got to get a new vacuum, the sander is stinking quiet, I can run it and still talk to people in the garage, until I turn my vacuum on.

I've found 1 handle rotation = about .015 is that you guys come up with. And did you glue some sand paper to your sleds to stop slippage.

Thanks

You'll love it.

On my sleds I just glues on about a 2-3 in piece of an old lam cut off as a stop.One thing to remember is not to take off too much at the time.The conveyor motor has a nylon gear in it and too much of a bind will strip the gear.

[heartlandbowyer]

Got my roll from supergrit this morning and gearing up now, I'm gonna need more glue.    

Thanks for the tips guys.

I may have one o those nylon gears, can't remember which sander it fits.....

[Roy from Pa]

Well that's a lot of help ole boy..  

[kennym]

Just thinkin of you bro, if yours quits, let me know, I don't need it anymore....

I'll have to look, it may be for the baby drum.

Only time I had probs with it was when I fed it too hard tho.

[Roy from Pa]

Find out when ya get time ole boy..

[kennym]

You tear your up already?  

[heartlandbowyer]

Yeah being new to the machine I could see taking to much off an stripping a gear, might not be a bad idea to have a spare on hand.
