Makita 9741 Wheel Sander

Product Information

You'd probably be better off working with the LS 130 and a custom profile, at least to handle that large concave channel. When a tree is cut down and cut into long sections or logs it is then inserted into a horizontal band saw or portable saw mill. The 80 leaves a somewhat "dirtier" darker finish, whereas the 100 has a slightly brighter hue, though still with plenty of character. After peeling and just before scribing and setting, the logs were cleaned and shaped with a Makita curve base planer which worked great and produced a very nice "draw knife" appearance.

I actually started to do the first beam without a dust mask, but after a couple of minutes my lungs started to feel funky, and then I started to imagine the kind of stuff these beams had accumulated in their crevices over the years -- like maybe they were pulled from a demo of a building that had never gone through asbestos abatement, etc. I need them to get down into the grooves and cracks, removing the years of gunk built up from farm activity and weather.I do not want them to sand the boards down at this stage of the process as I like to leave lots of character. Personally, I’d rather pay double the cost on something that can perform just as well if not better, but will outlast the competition, is fairly easy to work on, spare wearable parts are readily available, and I get good support from the manufacturer when needed.

I switched over to the 80 grit nylon brush to do the other side of the board, but after reviewing the pictures, I noticed that that side started out much lighter, so I thought it wouldn't be a fair comparison.If you aren't planning on working with reclaimed wood, and have no interest in falsifying the age of your lumber, then there's no reason to get this machine. A SuperBrush brush sander is a machine that can be equipped with different types of sanding heads to achieve a wide variety of finishes on wood or plastic composite material. The Unosand hub and sanding brush system will integrate into existing sanding and denibbing systems. It is commonly used for applications that would traditionally be done by hand, such as profile sanding mouldings or raised panel doors, or to achieve labor-intensive finishes like distressing.

and so I quickly grabbed my most serious dust mask, which was the one I got for when I ground out the grout from my shower tiling with a dremel a number of years ago. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers. Increase Output: SuperBrush sanders are able to run material up to 30ft a minute (depending on the model you choose), much faster than sanding by hand! Cost wise you pay up front, but down the road you’ll make that money back with minimal break downs, ease of getting the equipment back online and the time you spend trying to find tech support for that machine.

I didn't time it, but I was only passing the brush over the same area 3 or 4 times, and we're talking quick passes, not a slow creep. This includes cleaning the brushes and the machine itself, as well as lubricating moving parts and replacing worn brushes.
