rod1949 25th July 2010, 10:05 PM Yep I brought the Surcare sander 6 years ago (long term planning) and got it out of its box today to finish sanding some Jarrah bench tops that I'm working on. A concern with the machine was with it leaving fine sanding scratches accross the grain, but nothing that I can see so far. With 60 grit pads on the maching the sanding has come up pretty mickey mouse, so with the use of finer pads the tops should be fantastic:2tsup:

Looks like quite a beast to handle, but would make fodder out of a large surface.

Durdge,
It is suprisingly easy to handle and it dosen't have any force that wants to take it or you off in its own direction.
Christos 26th July 2010, 08:05 AM Cool but six years long term planning on using a tool. :C

The test will come when you put a finish on it and then all the scratches will show up. I make sure I finish all my work after the sander with hand sanding but even then you can miss some.:D:D

Bet it`d be ideal for removing epoxy on large slabs, glad to see your finally putting it into action.
cheers
