Very nice Bobby. They are a sweet machine.

Now that looks good, and the best part is the shelf below the table where a sixpack of Foster's can be placed. Bue--.

I can't wait to have my dedicated bow-building shop!

Bowjunkie · January 14, 2015, 10:51:00 AM

I gotta get me one of them someday.

I gotta get my shop done first.

That looks like a nice one. Is that the one you have? That's why I want to have a few 220v outlets in there.

Roy from Pa · January 14, 2015, 02:05:00 PM

Yes I have that one. It is a powerful machine. Yupper on the 220 volts.

Bowjunkie · January 14, 2015, 03:45:00 PM

Did you wire your sander for 220?

Wagstaff · January 14, 2015, 04:12:00 PM

Thats on my wish list too... Right behind a Canister Dust Collector..!

Roy from Pa · January 14, 2015, 04:54:00 PM

It comes prewired for 220 and I left it like that.

bigbob2 · January 14, 2015, 05:20:00 PM

I wasn't aware that this model was available there, what with U.S.a being 110v etc so that's something I've learned.

Wolftrail · January 14, 2015, 06:03:00 PM

Isn't that a little overkill for building bows. .? 1 1/2 hp. that is a Monster........

I once used one and my piece somehow got side cocked against the belt, it threw the piece of wood flying and caught my finger which tore off the end of my finger tip.... like a chunk of meat was hanging there. :eek:

"Isn't that a little overkill for building bows. .? "
NO SUCH THING!!LOL!!!
I have never once while grinding exotic or domestic hardwoods thought -"I need less horsepower!"

wood carver 2 · January 14, 2015, 06:20:00 PM

You can never have too much horsepower!

I've gotten too enthusiastic and stalled my little belt sander a few times.

Nice! I've been eyeing up one of those as well.
