I'm not sure what to say about that bad boy sander.

That looks like a serious machine there. I was impressed with the fact that
they offer a Bearing Change Tool Kit. This is to keep your tool running in
top form while making it easy for you to replace wearing parts.

How much did you spend for this bad boy?

Tim the tool man would have been proud.

That's a sign of a 'pro' piece... even though 'pro' is used on
everything including toilet paper these days.

On sale. From $ 1650.00 down to $ 1495.00. It wasn't 40 bucks, but
took the deal anyway..VBG

G'day Rob,
That is one tool I never new existed. I have seen much smaller 4 disk
machines, They use about 50mm pads.
I now see where the money previously mentioned went.
It' good see some things going the other way across the ditch :)

regards
John

Hiya John.

There's a whole lot coming this way from across the ditch.
Triton's out from your way isn't it?
How about Trevor Ford? That guy is a god in the solid surface
industry.
Check out some of the insane things he does with solid surface:

Oh...and I love telling this story. On my way to Oz one time, I had a
pamphlet from a travel agent with a 'capsule on the Australian
economy'. In it, and I kid you not, it stated: "Almost all imports
into Australia come from overseas."

Fosters sucks, VB rules.

G'day Rob,
Yep, Triton started out as a small Aussie company making saw benches
that would take a portable circular saw. I think it has been sold,
perhaps a couple of times since it's inception.

Trevor Ford certainly has some unique and innovative ideas.
By the way I do like your top.

Your dead to rights about Fosters. The only people who drink that are
foreigners, no self-respecting Aussie would touch it :)

Have fun with the new toy ;)
all the best
John

And their use of language is a bit imperfect:

"remain the world leader in it’s field."

On a professional web site yet.

VB is good, but Tammie brew is the real stuff!
