|  new member Hi, I'm a new member and a novice scroller. I do have a question,however. I am looking for a sanding system. At present I am sanding with my Dad's very old and inexpensive Craftsman drill press with a pneumatic drum. I have seen advertisements for the King Arthur Guinevere sanding system. I thought King Arthur was a flour for bread baking . I also am interested in the Seyco Flex Drum Sander. I'd appreciate some opinions on either system. I'm not familiar with either system. Thank you Liz |

| I am not sure what you use a sander for but as you mention the drum sander then for me I would look at the Grizzly Tool drum/flap sander. It has a 1 hp motor and comes with a 3 and 4" X 8 " neumatic drums and a flap sander. I have the same machine that has served for about 10 years. It came with just the 2 drums and after my saw it is the most used tool I have. I have 5 beltsanders up to a 6X48" belt and several disc sanders. None of them can do the work the drums do. For Intarsia and segmentation I would be lost with out this tool and the next time I come down to the states I will be getting a new one. I tend to use 1" thick wood and to take a piece say 3" by 10" down to 1/4" thick takes about 2 minutes.

| Thanks for the suggestion. I guess I did forget to tell you what I wanted to use the sander for. I am trying my hand at intarsia, and other small projects. I often need to get around curves and into small areas. Since it is my birthday, the family suggested that I pick a machine. I also had a greatdane many years ago. She was a brindle. Love that dog. Now we have a puggle, mix between a pug and a beagle. Cute sweet but hyperactive. Still young so there is some hope. Thanks again Liz |

| Welcome to the group Liz. I'd suggest you ask what others use for their intarsia sanding in either the tools section of the intarsia/segmentation section. You'll probably get a whole lot of advice. I look forward to seeing some photos of your intarsia. Take care Toni

| Hi Liz Welcome to the group. Having been into intarsia and other woodworking for many years I have found that the most versatile sanding tool would be my 3x18 belt sander.I use it for shaping,contouring,flattening and just about anything else that I need to do in my shop. For smaller pieces I use a 1/4 " and 1/2 " sanding drum set up in my dremal tool. Hope to see some of your work. Mike |

| Liz, Welcome to the forum. I am just thinking about getting into intarsia and am in the same boat as you, just not sure were to go on the sanding tools. There are so many things out there, but I want to get the best bang for my buck so I'm looking at everything before I make my choice.
