Title: Sand Flee
Post by: rochar3 on January 03, 2013, 04:12:12 pm

Hello,
I have been looking at Sand Flee for some time now and when I went on their web page I noticed that they do not sell the product. Looks like it is only available at Sears. Any comments?
Thanks
Bob

I was actually doing the same thing. After watching the review Steve did on it and looking it up, I want one. I couldn't find where to buy it either. Just accessories.

I wouls love one, but they aren't sold over here in the U.K. and if I ordered one from the USA then it would be the wrong voltage... so I'm stuck without one.

I've seen them for sale at Rockler and I believe they also have them at Woodcraft stores.

Is a Sand Flee the same as a mop sander?

No Gene. The Sand Flee is a flat table with a sanding drum in the middle. It does have a mandrel that you can attach a mop sander or other sanding attachments to.

I bought mine from Bill P.  He didn't have room for it in his shop.  My lucky day.  I love it.  Check RJR studios.  That is who used to advertise them.

Not sure you can get them at all anymore. Amazon says "not available", Sears just shows the sanding materials, and the RJR Studio site doesn't respond to buy.
Maybe you can find someone who wants to sell one.

I bought a sander at a woodworking show from Stockroom Supply called The Flatmaster. It is much the same as the Sand Flea without a motor. I had a motor that I salvaged from a furnace blower that works just fine. Check it out at stockroomsupply.com

The Sand Flee seems overpriced to me, just a motor turning a drum under a slotted table.
