Another GRIZZLY
11 days ago by khop | 5 comments »
OK I couldn’t help myself. When I ordered the G1071 OSS sander, I went ahead and got this one too. Might as well round out the total order to a grand right? I had always wanted to get a larger beefyer belt and disc sander. I still have the old Delta 6×36 which will be used for pencil sharpening. lol. Now on to the pros and cons. Pros, IT”S A GRIZZLY, Heavy and very stable, strong and definately an upgrade from the Delta. It has good dust collection. Cast iron disc and tilt...
Another Great Grizzly Product
11 days ago by khop | 11 comments »
I finally ordered the new OSS from Grizzly. As pictured, it was very heavy and once again, my electric hoist came to the rescue. At around 300 pounds, it is built like a tank. The unit came well packaged with thick styrofoam around all the pieces. There was ample amounts of the famous goo on most of the exposed metal parts. A little mineral spirits and a cloth rag cut through it qiuckly. I was fortunate to have the hoist to lift the top into position as well as lift the whole unit onto the mo...
New toy for my shop
15 days ago by Greg | 9 comments »
I just got my new Jet sander delivered a couple of days ago (Tuesday). It comes in three boxes, two are managable…the one containing the stand and the box containing the feed table/conveyor and feed motor. The third box contains the motor unit and drum…it weighs somewhere between 70,000 & 75,000 pounds (or so it felt like) when I had to unpack it and set it up by myself.A friend said he would come help me set it up this weekend but I was way too impatient to watch the sander j...
Well worth the money
16 days ago by Joe | 35 comments »
I find this sander outstanding to use. I purchased this when I realized I would be sanding forever on all those little pieces that made up the two excavator I built. Very easy to use and changing belt to spindle is a snap. Just remember it has left handed threads. I have read on the internet that people had problems with the tracking on the belt. Sure, mine did not track straight right out of the box, but it took a total of 15 seconds for it to track dead straight. You set it once and that’s ...
Powerful Disk Sander
42 days ago by FatScratch | 8 comments »
I received this disk sander about 9 months ago. I really didn’t think it was a necessary addition to my small hobbyist shop, but it was a gift. The buyer thought it would be a necessity for my hobby and I didn’t have the heart to exchange it. It has come in handy many times since I got it. The sander was nicely packaged in a square box which was very difficult to get my hands around, coupled with the fact that this thing is very heavy. This sander weighs in at about 100lbs. It t...
Same thing the other guys sell at half the price.

Not much to say about this. I needed to finally replace the sanding belt cleaner I had as I had worn it out. (Still on the same belt FWIW). I hopped into Harbor Freight, and picked one of these up. Sale price of $3.99, and since I wasn’t getting anything more expensive, I threw the 20% coupon on it for an additional $.80 savings for a total before tax of $3.19… Got the thing home, and it is EXACTLY the same item as I had purchased at the big name woodworking supply and hardware...

Finally, a Hand Sander That Allows You to Sand...
72 days ago by CaptainSkully | 11 comments »
I’ve been using that damn rubber thing with the nails sticking out of each end for years. No wonder I hardly ever did any hand sanding. I bought this because the action looked like it would be easy to switch out paper. It’s so easy, I switch grits without a care. The best $20 I ever spent at the woodworking store. As a recent improvement in my woodworking, I’ve started to hand-sand the orbital swirl marks out of my stuff. This makes that as easy as the wood will allow.
widebelt sander

My helpers in the picture are smiling as they install the new sander – they now have less work ! This is an “entry level” unit marketed by Mini Max, but still came with motorized digital controls and some other features that are very welcome. For grinding slabs flat , leveling glue lines , finishing flooring and wall paneling this thing is a huge labor saver. I think I will be smiling shortly also-
Get Them While They Are Hot!!!!!

My insider information has told me that Bosch is discontinuing the 1276 D and 1276DVS 4×24 belt sanders. The current stock will be sold out and no more will be made. Go figure. It is a work horse of a sander and one of the best on the market. BoschCPO.com currently has is listed at $129.99 and on eBay the prices from some of the major internet sellers is also that low or lower. (I checked a couple of local stores that have a web site and it is still listed there at $230.00 or more...
