I am seriously thinking of buying a stationary oscillating belt sander and am wondering about your OLF tool purchase program. When will it be ready and what all will it include? (brands and items, etc.) I would like the purchase to help OLF if possible.

John

John -
Ill let Brock answer this as he is setting this up as we speak - I think it will be ready soon.

Thanks!
Lance

I can have a quick and dirty page for you to buy from really about any time. What sander are you thinking about buying?

Thanks for thinking of us on this purchase?

I had looked at the Jet and grizzley belt sanders. I think the correct term is an edge sander. But I really want one that oscillates a little up and down and that can be layed out flat at need.John Kinnaird38635.5690277778

Ok. I will cook up a few on a page. If you decide on something specific my guess is that it is part of the program.

Thanks Michael
   That looks like an interesting place. I ordered their catalog and hope their prices are competative.

   I was in your town this past weekend. Didn't see you hanging around the square. At least I don't think I did.   

John

you didn't but i wasn't too far away.

regarding the extrema, they are rather expensive, but any machine which both tilts and oscillates, and has hand wheel adjustments will be. i got their information when i was looking around at upgrading my dust control a while back and rather fancied the machine but it wasn't in the budget at the time. still hopeful though.

if you find any others that meet your specs i would appreciate a heads up as i will be looking around again, probably next year.

These Seco SK3000SD oscilating edge sanders look interesting -
reasonable price if the quality is good. Anyone know anything about
them?

I got some links put up in the tools area. This section is still VERY MUCH a work in progress, but they are active and if you buy from them it will give credit to the OLF.

Thanks again for any support.

Brock,

How about this model:

Fret Board sander

If you listed it already sorry........I will be in the market for one of these machines in the next few months but will have to buy locally because the exchange and shipping would otherwise kill me! This is a great idea though for those in the US and should help out makers and the forum. Good job!

What's the possibility of group buys for tools, w/ part of the price going to
OLF support? Dust collectors, bandsaws, dehumidifiers seem like good
candidates.

Shane, that model doesn't oscillate.

Don,

It doesn't but a lot of the other ones on the list don't either. For me, oscillating would be nice but is not high priority. Luthiery use on tools is typically sporatic so changes to the table height would allow you to use the entire belt over time. If I were in a production cabinet shop where the machine was going 4 to 6 hours a day it would be more important to me. I know that John is looking for an oscillating machine and this attachement, which is also sold seperatley, may be able to be adapted to other machines. I just thought that since it was specific to luthiery it would be of interest.
