Thread: Brought it 6 years ago, Used it for the first time today

Surely you can ride that thing to the shops.

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.

Cool but six years long term planning on using a tool.

Don't want to wear it out Christos

I get antsy when I purchase a tool and do not use this with in the first six months.

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.

Looks like a very cool piece of gear Rod

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

Good looking machine. I have a Triton router that I bought about 2 years ago and still haven't used it. Should last me for years.
