Longcruise

Me, a power tool and limb tips.  Not a good combo.  :)

I always rough my tips on a spindle sander and have a lot of hand shaping afterwards . I think this tool will be more controllable  but will practice on some scrap first.  :bigsmyl:

Mike, be sure to let us know how it works I thought about buying one before but passed.

I bought the electric HF 1x18 several years back, it has performed decent.  The HF belts don't stay together, order some from TruGrit or Red Label and the increase in performance and durability is significant.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

I picked up a new tool today from HF I think will work for tip shaping and corner rounding and sight window work. 1/2x18 p-newmatic  :biglaugh: operated belt sander.



I have one of those stic for metal work.
what grit sand paper are you going to use??

That thing is loud on full power

Don't know what grit yet. I played with it briefly today 60 may be too coarse.

Mine has a platen bar behind the belt, maybe should take that out :dunno:

Stic, I have one of those. I tried it for roughing out shelves and I didn't care for it, I used 40 grit. I decided a farriers rasp was faster. They seem to go thru belts quickly.

Buemaker

Coming along, some fine adjustment and I will shape handle.

Roy from Pa

Nice job Bue on bow and picture:)

Actually the belly side of the tips was what I am hoping to shape with it. We will see.

Roy from Pa

Buemaker

At least I must have my morning coffee with «special» sweetener first.
