So I have been playing around making Pens - I watched a video where the turner squares up his blanks with a sanding disc instead of a barrel trimmer (which is what I use) - I found a older Craftsman sanding station for sale (see Pic below) - brought it home and started the de-rusting and cleaning - this thing was covered in rust and junk - wire wheel and abrasive padding on my air tool cleaned it up quick - added some wood and wheels for mobility - then took it apart and cleaned up all the slides and a bit of greese and it runs like a champ. I then looked online and found where I could order the 9" disks and the 6 x 48 belts so I figured I would order them and let it sit until they come in.
Well my son thought it would be a good idea to suprise me when I got home later today and showed me how he took a sheet of 3m sanding paper and cut a 9" circle and attached it to the sanding disk with 3m adhesive - did it work ? ohhhhhhhhh yeah it worked alright and im sure when I have to remove it to change its going to be a interesting adventure to get it all off.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh well he was jazzed so I let it go...........................
I still ordering the replacement belt and disks but I was going to ask if anyone has a easy way to get the old one off after using the spray adhesive ?...............LOL thanks
