Bought a new toy!

[Stoney]

Well a few days ago I asked for input as to which tool to buy first for Intarsia. Jeff Powell suggested a belt/disc sander. I did some research and compared quite a few brands and models. Then I went to Sears. I got what I think is a good deal on their 6"x48" belt/ 9" disc machine. I think someone might have returned it. It was discribed as used but nothing appeared used at all. They warrantied it as new. I payed $137.93 for it. They was running the same model on sale for $199.95 regularly $229.95. I took it home set it up and run some wood through it. I can't find anything wrong with it. I just might have gotten a good deal, it appears that way. Now I have to get some how to books on Intarsia. Oh yea, I also have to get a flexdrum sander kit.

PS Not a very good picture but the best I can do.

Congrats, if the belt tracks good, then I'd say youve got a great deal...or, as the commercial says "You my friend are living the High Life!" congrats on the new tool!

When my father passed away he left me his sander which is a Craftsman and very similar to that model. I love and use it a lot. Good purchase.

I just purchased an Hitachi from the big blue box store. Looks like the same sander. Mine was $139.00 with my daughter-in-laws employees discount. So you got a good deal.

Now that is a slippery road there Evie. When I started making noise about a drum sander my wife asked, how many sanders do you need? Well, there are several I don;t have yet . . . .

Nice purchase Stoney, I always love a deal!
