When I was cabinet making, working at the factory on a weekend or some other time the boss was not around we used to do similar thing, but with belt sanders. We'd scavenge as many extension leads as we could, clear a space on the floor the length of the factory and fire up a couple belt sanders. Good fun, damaged a couple of things that were not moved far enough out of the way, and won or lost a few beers at the pub after work. Never buggered a sander though. Must have built 'em tough in those days ;) regards John |

Wonder if any of the competitors wound the springs in their tape
measures a little tighter. |

Hey John,
I saw a small write up in an old issue of Fine Woodworking showing two competitors at the starting ramp for a belt sander race. The sanders were "beefed" up with longer extension cords and very coarse paper. Marc |
