Sanding Pad Question

[Russ C]

I like your sanding station Greg. And did you say a vacuum is hooked up it. ?

Russ, I do have a hole in it to stick a small vacum hose into but seldom use it, simply because I had to put a brace down the center of it to support the top due to the size, I could probably put a hole in the brace piece and get sastisfactory results, may have to try that. The material covering it is the padded shelf liner from a dollar store, using it allows the dust to fall through, and it grips good. I added the trays for the sanders just recently because I don't wait on the sanders to stop spinning and I can just set them down in the tray and not worry about them chasing me around. This can be made any size that would fit someones needs for cheap.  Glad ya like it.

Cherie... I LOVE my Sand Flee Just finished a bunch of "hair daggers".  It made them smooth as silk.  Cannot imagine sanding those things by hand.

    I don't know how well it works for anybody else, but I took the tread off of a old tread mill and covered my work bench with it. I can lay down a piece I've been working on, and lay it flat, and sand away. Ganite, I've boken pieces I've worked  on, and had to glue the pieces back together. I really don't think there is a method for not breaking small pieces. If you know of one, please let us know. Dave
