bkrajnak Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Just wondering if anybody ever used or has the Grizzly drum/flap sander, I was thinking of buying myself a Christmas present. Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Never heard of it, what will be your main use for it? Please don't come back with sand things as an answer, I mean what type of work will you be sanding? Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkrajnak Posted December 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I was thinking of trying a little intarsia it seems like it would be a pretty handy machine and the price is not bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 You can google flap sander plans and make one if your just trying it out. If you find you really enjoy it then I would invest in a more production model. Just a thought I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBerguson Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 I own lots of Grizzly equipment and have been happy with all of it. I don't own one of these but I wouldn't be afraid to if I needed or wanted one. Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBerguson Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Actually, I spent alot of time in their Montoursville store until they kicked me out. Said I was drooling on too many machines and creating rust... Then they had to go and close that location. We were down there today for our annual Christmas shopping trip and that was always one of the stores I shopped at. Not today though. With that said, I have a 10 inch left tilt table saw, 20 inch planer, 8 inch jointer, 14 inch band saw, 6x40 belt sander, dust collection, a 18g brad nailer and a couple of other air tools. The planer and jointer were bought used and I've never had a problem with any them. It's good equipment! Bryan hawkeye10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hate that because I will be getting nothing for Christmas. BBerguson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmarsch Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 I own the Drum/Flap Sander and i use it for Intarsia. I felt when I started into this crazy addiction and started with the Intarsia that it was a must have, so I purchased it and it is the most used tool. Now with that being said..... I was cheap and didn't buy the stand for it and mounted it to my bench, bad choice will be purchasing the stand after Christmas. Make sure to get the sand when you order yours. Also make sure it is some where your able to easily find the harder to hold onto pieces and they frequently become projectile missiles and bounce off of everything... Or make some type of catch for them, I have not found and easy way to do this yet. BBerguson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
