thats a disk & belt sander....

the belt is good for sanding straight edges and some like it for rounding...(the edge is great)

and the disk is used for rounding....

^^^ listen to blosom whatever he says will work even before he sold any decks he was giving me the best advice

So all in one! I guess that means its good right?+

Yea, grinders suck for making decks....

When I first started making decks I used a belt and disk sander I used the disk for even straight edges and the curve of the belt to shape the kicks it works fantastic until the belt broke so now I use a skill belt sander which is just as good and it's smalle

I would but its used, like u can see the wood marks and glue marks in the stone!

You can still return it. I used some high heels for a week just to see how they looked on me, and i just returned them....

Erm..... wat.

Yea the disc and belt should be good. I however never use the disc on mine.

King of Queens reference.....

I have a problem with the belt sander i use now. It burns the wood.

Is that because it runs too fast? or because the belt is too rough?

^Its because the grit isn't high enough. I had an old belt sander and the grit was wasted and it would burn the wood, so i changed the belt and it wouldn't burn my woood any more (tee-he)

Thought so. I guess i will have to go get some new belts so i can stock up on those Lovedrugs...

If you love drugs you're not forgiven.. lol.

No yea. Get a new belt and an 80 grit.

Im pretty sure this isnt aillegal bump! But I have finally got enough money for a sander! Before I pay for it though I just want to see your guys toughts on it:

Nice, I don't know how much 89.00 is in German currency? Something like £50? I don't know, haha.

Haha its 89 Swiss francs which is liek 94 USD!

Get it, its a sander dude. Its fine

How many rounds pr. minute does your sander(s) run?

This one the Belt: 4,58 meters per second if that says anything to you..


and the disc: 1450 rotations per minute!

It will work fine. I spent 100-something dollars on mine and has worked well for 4 years. I have sanded wood, steel, and stainless steel pipe. Its the most handy tool i have.

My sander arrived yesterday! I set it up and used it today! BEst investment ever!
