Thought I'd share this. Went to Cromwell tools yesterday for some bits and noticed this in the offers paper while I was in there. Listed at £89.99 in the paper. They had no stock in the Nottingham branch so I decided to order on line where I found it at £74.99. Placed the order and it arrived today. Looks a decent bit of kit to be fair considering the price. I'll let you know how it performs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I had a similar one (a Skil) and wore it out. I found that the belt was handier than the disk sander portion but that was just my use. Used it almost exclusively for wood. I made a simple jig and used it for tapering the back end of wooden arrow shafts (to 5/16 in from 11/32 or 23/64). I've since obtained a larger version (10 in. disk and 6x48 in. belt). I use it regularly - again mainly for wood although with care it can be used for metal (sparks in my dust collector are not to be considered :D). You should find it very useful. John. |

Hoping so. Mine will most likely be used for metal I think. Been after one for a while. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

It looks identical to the one I got from Machine Mart. works OK but the belts are a bit naff, the scarf joints are horrible and bumpy. I need to look for another belt supplier. I don't know about yours but on mine the disc is stuck on so when it wears out you have a gluey mess to get off the plate which is a bit of a pain. apart from that it does what I want. Roy. |

Replace your glue with a Velcro pad and buy "other half of Velcro" sanding discs. Try Abtec for good quality belts and discs. No connection, just good suppliers. |
