Neat! I like the MicroMark sire. It's fun to see all the cool tools they have. Justufying the purchase of some of them is the tough part. I do have to get me one of these... 
I can think of a ton of uses for that one. |

I would just like to know how they justify this quote on that thing.... "Drum Thickness Sander Turns Your Shop into a Portable Lumber Mill" Huh? That thing turns your shop into a portable lumber mill?????? I guess I would like to see their definition of a portable lumber mill. Oh brother....that's a stretch. |

Hah! Did you notice that they're charging $20.00 extra for shipping because it's a "heavy/large" item? It weighs 33lbs! Handles wood up to 1/2" thick! Whooo-weee!!!

Neat little tool.[/QUOTE] All it does is let you sand some small pieces of wood, so there's no milling at all. To imply that you can mill limber would be to imply that there's some way to cut trees into boards... and that won't do it. They're exagerating way beyond what they should... |

Cameron I've had the little disk sander for a couple years and make good use of it. It's nice to be able to slow it way down for delicate work and not throw dust all over the place. Very quiet. It's not designed for hogging off a lot of wood by any stretch. One has to realize that MicroMark caters mainly to model and miniature builders. Nelson |

Anthony--Benedetto, as a kid, built miniature archtops of a size that would fit into the palm of one's hand. Think of the savings in material!

Then there's Frank Fords way of looking at the world. http://www.frets.com/FRETSPages/Luthier/Tools/1x42Sander/ 1x42sander.html I've got one of these sanders too and use it for all sorts of things. I've even rigged up a (shop vac) dust collection rig too. -C |

Actually, the picture of the MicroMark thickness sander is a little deceiving. Those are the hands of Paul Bunyon. Babe is out draggin' in another log.
