Hawk Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 I know things are busy for everyone with summer here and all. But I wanted to share my sanding and shaping station. I believe I finally have it to where I want it. Only took my 6 months (lol). But now everything is within reach and projects on the table. The Foredom is removable so I can use the dremel and the vac takes care of most all of the dust. Now I just need time to work on things. The Raptor has been on the sanding table for over a month now (ugh!) barb.j.enders, jimmyG, Dave Monk and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lists the speed range as 500 to 7,000 rpm's OCtoolguy and Scrappile 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Very nice setup. I'm envious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankEV Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Great set-up! Sure wish I had room for something similar. I have a sanding station that includes a Vertical Belt/Disk sander, a small oscilating sander and a Guenevere finisher with Wand setup. I also have a dremel with wand like I see hanging in your area, I also have a lot of the shanked sanders as you do and also have a number of shaping/carving burrs, both some very rough and some quite fine. And my vacuum only services the mounted Benc sander. My set-up works, but not quite as nice of a sit down area like yours. I would actually have to sell my home and move to a bigger home and property in order to have a bigger shop...afraid that will not be happening at my age.

(lol) my honey do list keeps my "shop" time short, but now that I pretty much got the sanding area set up I should make better progress. barb.j.enders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all this along with my scrollsaws,table saw in a small basement. It's taken my 6 years to get to this point. Been thinking about the 1 inch vertical belt sander, just gotta figure out where to put it. Also considering some kind of mop sander too. Everything is set for me to sit down as I'm not able to stand for extended periods of time. FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubby got me this for Christmas last year. It has been great, especially for small pieces. https://www.amazon.ca/PTMTFYL-Adjustable-Electric-Anti-Slip-Polishing/dp/B0D7GKH4CW/ Hawk and don in brooklin on 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, what I actually received was the belt sander part. He didn't order the "extra" which was the flat discs, keyed chuck etc. I have just the motor unit with the belt sanding. I recently purchased this https://www.temu.com/goods.html. It fits in my foredom style rotary tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
