Lex Luthier Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I got over 10% off the price because of my "connections", plus I got a free sanding belt and a block of belt cleaning compound because I took the floor model! It's too late to play around with the thing, I'll post pics tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Luthier Posted January 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Here it is! It's a 6" X 99" Horizontal/Vertical Edge Belt Sander by Strike. The whole belt sander portion actually flips on it's side, instead of the table tilting, and the belt actually ostilates(sp?) too. I've been playing aroung with it a little. I took the back cover off, so I don't have to always remove it to change belts, and the dust chute cover is off, for now. I also made some adjusments to the table, to make it raise and lower easier.

MKGBass Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Nice and HUGE. My sander is convertible from upright to horizontal. I like the upright for neck shaping etc, because it gives me more control. I also got mine at a great deal, through connections (ie, i work at a hardware store = 10% discount + coupons + friends and family night = just about 50% off. :-D). Peace -the M of MKG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarfrenzy Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Nice equipment. What jobs are you intending on doing with your new belt sander? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Luthier Posted January 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Nice equipment. What jobs are you intending on doing with your new belt sander? I just shaped the neck of a bass I'm making, and I'll also use it to radius the fingerboard. Also headstock thicknessing and fingerboard gluing surface truing, and there's other stuff.
