mini timesaver sander?
I have a new machine shop doing small amounts of sheet metal work.
After cutting out the 1/8" aluminum parts I need the surfaces to go through a timesaver sander. However, I can't afford this machine right now so I am looking for a smaller version of this machine. Is there any machine out there that works just like a timesaver, but has only a 10 to 12 inch belt sander? I would love to fine a sander that is similar to the benchtop planars that you can find at Home Depot. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. |

mini timesaver sander?
There is a table top drum sander made by Ryobi (????) that sells
for the $400 to $500 range. Performax has one at $800 with 16" drum and power feed. Grizzly has floor models for $750, $1200 & $1500 depending on size. mike wrote: I have a new machine shop doing small amounts of sheet metal work.

Hey Mike,
Sorry, but I don't know what a "timesaver sander" is. Is it what I might call a stroke-sander, where you lay the work on a flat surface, bring an open pulley sanding belt down to just above it, then do the sanding by applying pressure to the belt onto the portion of the work you want sanded? Take care. Happy New Year. Brian Lawson, Bothwell, Ontario. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX large On 2 Jan 2004 05:30:15 -0800, (mike) wrote: I have a new machine shop doing small amounts of sheet metal work.

mini timesaver sander?
I worked on a machine years ago that was referred to as a graining machine,
which was similar to what you described. It was used to put a directional finish on metal machine parts. It was fairly large, and a padded paddle was used to press and hold the belt down on the workpiece, in a fashion similar to ironing clothes. The table was on bearings and as the belt traveled over the workpiece, the table could also be moved perpendicular to the belt travel. It did a great job of providing very nice finishes on large parts. WB ............. "Brian Lawson" wrote in message ... Hey Mike, Sorry, but I don't know what a "timesaver sander" is.

A big belt sander used to sand large wood panels eg cabinet door.
Any good cabinet shop will have at least one. http://www.atlanticequipment.com/183.html Brian Lawson wrote: Hey Mike, Sorry, but I don't know what a "timesaver sander" is.
