    Default need a wide bed sander in Sydney

    Can anyone suggest where I may be able to find a wide bed sander in Sydney where I can either sand some table tops or have it done for me?
    I am making a series of drop side tables from Australian Red Cedar. I've thicknessed the slabs and cut the blanks oversize. The centre panels will be 540mm wide and the drop leaves 200 wide. They are currently 25 thick to be finally dressed to 22.
    I can pretty much get to anywhere in Sydney and surrounds but south west or west would be the most convenient.
    many thanks, fletty

    ps, don't worry Ray the SECRET PROJECT is safe, the girls wont be able to read this thread, they're currently in Laos and were last heard holding their own ANZAC dawn service on the banks of the Mekong

    Not sure whereabouts you are in Sydney, but there's a place at Bowral that does floorboards. They have a big double header that will take about 3mm at a time off. Sorry I can't remember their name, but they should be in the yellow pages.

    I think it's High Country Timber Floors, Moss Vale (not Bowral).

    G'day I was making a coffee table last year for Year 11 and I had to get the top sanded. I used a Canalpie Fine Furniture and Timber at Tennyson, its near Richmond and he's got a wide belt sander you could use. His number is 0245711570.

    Didn't realise Richard @ Canalpie had a wide belt. He's a great bloke and very helpful - sold me the Sydney blue gum for the scroll boxes last year.
