SAND-FLEE!

[GrayBeard]

Is alive and well!

I just got home from the woodworking show and I stopped at their booth.
Stephen Raffo told me they are not out of business and have a new website up and running!

Just doing my bit for the community!

Thanks GB. So how was the show?

I think the Sand Flee is a great tool, just seems to be WAY over priced for what it is. For a motor, drum, table and the hardware to hold it all together, $850 seems like a lot. I might try to make my own.

I tend to agree and I did see another unit able to do the same thing but the sides and bottom are 'open' so the dust is free to 'fly'. I did not get particulars since I was not really interested.

I used to see a company at wood showshows in Canada that sells the parts to make your own and if you add up the parts the Sandflee not a bad deal. The assembled units are way more than the Sandflee as they don't include the motor. 

They do ship to the US and attend a lot of wood shows.

I have bought sanding mops in the past and are a good company to deal with. 

No affiliation just a happy customer.

The name Sand-Flee makes me want to scratch...   Last time we went camping on the beach, they ate us up.  Sand Fleas of course.

I bought the kit to make this tool from "Stockroom Supply".  They call it a "V" sander. It did not include the motor. I got  a motor at Harbor freight and the total cost for kit and motor was about $250. I made the box required  for it and have it hooked up to my dust collection system.  It is a useful tool for limited applications.  Mine is 18" wide and I use it to sand flat the edges of cedar boxes before gluing on the tops and bottoms.  I originally bought this kit to sand flat a chess board and it did do it but took a long time.
