General Scroll Saw Talk / New mop

« on: September 23, 2010, 11:12:35 pm »

Made a new sanding mop today and followed Steve's instructions to the letter, DON'T use your band saw to cut the sand paper, it works fine but it wrecks the blade, also dulled the drill bit, I am hopeful that I will be able to resharpen my band saw blade if it is not bad.
The sanding mop turned out fine I used a roll 150 grit paper I had given to me it is a bit stiff but should be OK, not sure why they are not available to buy in NZ. I have also looked around for a flap sander but as yet have not seen them

Hey Julie I find with my 21 EX I get a bit of rumbling at high speed how is yours? [not that I would use it at that speed now] also Blakie contacted me and said his mate had an electrical prob, with his and it turns out they have a fuse and not a cut out switch

Gray the one I made I put in the drill press at about 800 and it was fine then I put in the lathe at around 2500 and it destroyed the paper it was breaking off before I even started sanding, I think 800 to 1000 would be about rite and the paper would last longer.
On the lathe the motto is turn fast and sand slow

Thanks Merlin and Julie I was on the rite track but a bit lean on the paper, I put it on the lathe today at around 2500 rpm,s and it all but disintegrated [to fast] I will try I will try a longer bolt and some different paper, I also want it for smoothing puzzles
