Anyone ever make their own stroke sander?If so can you share pictures and
pros/cons? I need to sand a lot of 8by8s, 12' long and commercial sanders
are only 6" belts, 8 to 10' beds, and you can't slide the pieces from the
ends.
I'm thinking of roller stands for the infeed/outfeed tables to ease the
process( timbers are about 150# each).
I prefer a stroke type to control the pressure of the sanding as opposed to
a drum type where you crank it down and pray.

Thanks for any ideas.

Andy marlow had a design but that was several years ago .

There were two posted here in the very recent past, so a google
groups search should turn them up.
