|  A shaping and sanding ? Hi everyone, I would like some input on the best type of equipment to use for shaping and sanding Intarsia pieces. If you could only afford to buy one tool which one would it be?  in advance for your replies.Stoney |

| Just one ? that is a tough one. I would buy this as a starter. Pneumatic Sanding Drums - Rockler Woodworking Tools It is a pneumatic drum sanding set. But after that add a flap sander, and the Jet oscillating spindle sander, and ,and, and. Actually the drum sander and a Macmop or flap wheel will do most of every thing you need to do. Just my opinion, we have many more REALLY experienced Intarsia wizzards on this site.

| I've been using a dremel with sanding sleeves. I tried using a flap sander, but didn't like it. Not sure if it was the sander, or me, but I found it left more marks than it took off. Off to check Rolf's link - I need a new toy... hrrmmm tool! Theresa |

| If I can only buy one tool for intarsias, I'd start with a stationary belt sander. A big ole cheap grizzy 6x48 will do wonders! you can flatten, bevel, angle, round and so much more just on that machine..remember it's not only flat but the end is round which can be used as well. Usually a stationary belt sander comes with a disk sander too. Dust collection is pretty standard...it's the most bang for you buck in my opinion. I'd start with that, then go for a jet spindle sander, and then add your pnuematic drum sanders and power carvers into the mix.

| I have 4 differet belt sanders up to an 6x48" but the most used is a drum sander fromGrizzly tools.it came with a 3" and 4" drum that are 8" long and you can adjust the air pressure in them with a bycicle pump. It was around $180. but with an 80 grit sleeve I can remove a ton of wood real fast even on flat boards.I hope to stop on the way home and see their new version. Alan. |
