Thinking a stationary belt/disk sander might be just the thing
for smoothing push sticks cut out of yellow pine with my band saw,
I started
reading reviews at HF on the 3.8 Amp one they have on sale for
$59.99. I know this is a "mistake" (maybe, maybe not).
OOPs, I just double-checked, that is 3.5 Amps, rated at 3/4HP
(ha ha ha!)

Bill - I you still on the hunt to buy equipment before you actually
even start using anything? You're going to end up with a cool shop
worth of stuff that has never even been used. Come on Boy - get
using some of the stuff you've got...


I'm learning. Look what John taught me with his post! And I learned
quite a bit about air compressors, and their
substitutes such as electric paint sprayers, last week! I'm sure if
you lived next door and could provide me with your instruction
that I would be further along. And I could maybe borrow your tools! ; )



Oh no - you probably don't want to take advice from me! Unless you like
learning things the hard way, that is.
