How much CFM does it take to run one of these? I have a rather wimpy pancake compressor, would that work? Greg |

Greg, it doesn't run on compressed air, it's inflatable. To use it, it chucks in your drill. Ron |

Oh, and I got the bigger one, since it'll span the side width of the biggest guitar I could build...unless Paul Bunyon learns to play guitar and commissions one of mine!

I copped a pic from a photo journal on the Baranik site of this tool in action, hooked up just to a cordless drill. Looks like a great attachment to have around. I need/want one also...

If some kind soul (Larry?) is willing to help us Canadians out by being a middleman for a bulk purchase I would be interested. Perhaps if there were enough of us Canadians we could figure out a way to make it worth the kind soul's while - send them some Canadian wood or something |

[QUOTE=terken] A while back someone posted about the Grizzly pneumatic hand held drum sander. I've been shaping my heels with Pete Licis' technique with a regular sanding drum on a drill press flexible extension shaft. Did the same with this thing and WOW! Makes short work of it and you have total control.[/QUOTE] Well then, sounds like I gotta get me one too! Pete |

A variable speed/reversible drill, either corded or cordless works great. The material removal rate on these is incredible even at slow rpm. (no burning and great control) Reversible lets you do an "uphill or downhill" cut with ease. Looks like some kind hearted OLFer could run over to Grizzly and pick up a truckload of these and then distribute them throughout Canada. Humanitarian mission.

My original "SOMEBODY must be a willing middleman" post was an indirect volunteer of the service too - I should be less oblique. Just let me know. |

could someone say how much it cost them USD? The prices at Grizzly site are $69 for 4 1/2" and $99 for 7 1/2" But I wasnt sure if someone had a better line on the, or not or if must order from Grizzly etc etc. Right now the CDN dollar is riding high so it would be a great time to get things like that! Im interested. Cheers Charliewood |
