JDarvall 23rd July 2008, 09:15 AM Fear that you can't buy them anymore.
Their a sanding disk tool that attaches to a power drill. Got a flexible joint on it and takes velcro sandpaper disks.
German made. Green. Like one with a curved sole.
Want a couple more for work. And wouldn't mind one at home.
Ta.
JDarvall 24th July 2008, 10:37 AM no go ?

You may be able to get them from Kaindl directly - they have a webshop (http://www.kaindl.de/shop/index.php)
JDarvall 24th July 2008, 01:00 PM ta.
I saw that. But its in German. Can't read it, and being in Germany, thinking costly shipping. Hoping for a dealer hereabouts.

Click the pommy flag on the right side, near the bottom, and you get the English version. :D
Therapy 24th July 2008, 01:39 PM Hi Apricotripper
I bought a Kaindl flexible drive drill attachment 10 or 15 years ago and still use it from time to time.
I last bought a supply of sanding discs from their stand at the Sydney WWW Show about 6 or 7 years ago.
On the order sheet they gave me which is still with the sanding discs I bought, their address was Kaindl Consolidated Australia, 6 Rustic Court, Highbury, SA 5089 (PO Box 39, Highbury SA 5089). Highbury is a suburb of Adelaide.
Their telephone No was (08) 265 1432. Adelaide phone Nos now have 8 digits and I think if they still are trading, their No would be 08 8265 1432.
I did a Google search and found that Highbury Painting Service operates from 6 Rustic Court in Highbury, SA - telephone No 08 8263 7964 Mobile 0417 840 311.
Maybe by phoning Highbury Painting Services you might be able to find out whether Kaindl products are still sold in Australia.
Good luck

JDarvall 24th July 2008, 01:43 PM Thanks Therapy. appreciate that. See what happens.

found that pommy flag
JDarvall 24th July 2008, 01:48 PM gave him a call. The bloke who answered told me that I'm after the bloke who he'd bought the house from. That he used to sell them but now works for Bond university. no matter.
On that site their priced 21.90 E ......<- Looks like an E........would that be Euros ?
chrisb691 24th July 2008, 01:55 PM On that site their priced 21.90 E ......<- Looks like an E........would that be Euros ?
Yup.
Therapy 24th July 2008, 02:01 PM Yep E is for Euro and €21.90 will be around AUD$36.50 (before postage/packing).
The old order form I have shows that in the late 1990s they sold for $35.00.

Hope this helps
JDarvall 24th July 2008, 03:27 PM thanks kindly for all the help.
Gave that number a ring Rob. no answer. Suspecting that there's no dealer for them in Australia any more.
jmk89 24th July 2008, 04:07 PM Suspecting that there's no dealer for them in Australia any more.
Could be a business opportunity for you there, Jake.
Fireguard 24th July 2008, 04:24 PM It's always a possiblility..... I think it was about 6 months ago that i ordered some stuff from him... I think he was running the business from home...
Sawdust Maker 24th July 2008, 08:29 PM Looked at the website
They make some interesting stuff (I can hear SWMBO whispering in my ear - "you don't need new shiny things" ) :no:
JDarvall 25th July 2008, 08:40 AM I don't know about the rest of the products but I love the action of the flexoshart disks. Brilliant. Really fast for sanding out chair seats and removing old paint. Easy to control, cause they don't bounce around because of the universal joint.
Shame. Can't seem to be able to buy them here anymore.
The german bloke said postage will cost Euro 24.50 . + Euro 18.40 for just one of them. Cost me near $70 AUS I guess just to buy one.
