Re: A couple new shop tools
Used it for a few things today, regrinding a few screwdriver bits, sanding a plastic cup down to make a dip tray for cutting oil for the mill, and sanding some anealed tool steel i am turning into a knife. handled it all like a champ. its a bit noisy, and the circular sanding disk isnt running PERFECT it has a few thousands of wobble. but overall i like it. it never bogged down once even when i was aggressivly applying pressure w/ the steel.
the biggest downfall though is its noisy. at least noisier than what i am used to using, but after a few minutes i just got used to it. then i found myself enjoying the noise when i turned it on because i knew i had a better piece of equipment than the gunsmith i work for.
i dont think i would pay 175 for it though. over 100 is a fair price, but i would think it should be priced closer to 125-150 tops. if you got the money go for it having the two stations seperated is well worth it.
