This sander has been a great addition to the shop. I have been using the spindle and belt sander on an intarsia project and it has made things a lot easier. I also used the small spindle to do some touch up sanding on the praying hands fretwork I did. Very happy with this sander.

Thanks for posting this Roly. I am getting ready to do a stack cut of a 10" saw blade with a Bass in it and need to have some accurate drill holes. I just dug out the old 4" drill press.

Kevin go to www.ocoochhardwoods.com and you can see everything you need.
-
Glad this helped some others out. The only place close to me is Woodcraft and they are close to three times what I payed at Ocooch

Very nice Roly. I love those bowls.
-
Very nice Ron. Looks like a lot of small cuts in there.
-
Glad everything was good with your heart. Happy New Year.

Very nice. Great job on the pattern and cutting.

For fretwork I frame them. I am lucky the place I work at used to make frames and doesn't any more but still has all the tools and supplies. We can make any frame any size for $5 so it wouldn't make sense for me not to frame them. I am working on an intarsia now that is three roses. My wife wants them put in a shadow box.

Thanks guys. Larry I'm lucky we have a frame shop at work. It has the saw, joiner and mat cutter. I can make any frame any size for $5. Don I bought the pattern at www.scrollersawer.com.

I made the frame today and it is now finished. Here it is.

Very nice gator. That looks indestructible.

I bought this sander last weekend. So far I have used it to fit some pieces together on an intarsia I am working on and on 1/4" plywood to smooth some uneven edges. It made the intarsia easy and quick to fit together. It also did a great job on the 1/4" plywood. It is fairly quiet and I can see where this tool will get a lot of use. The $199 price at Home Depot seems like a good price. The paperwork that comes with the sander says it has a lifetime warranty on everything including the motor. Seems like a quality tool at a good price.

Kevin it's not so much my body but my hands. I have Raynaud's Syndrome and it's very hard to keep my hands warm when I'm in the cold. I just o down and cut until I can't take any more. LOL
-
Looks good gator.
-
Yes it's a DeWalt 788. Clayton I love the new saw. It will take a little getting used to being different than the old Ryobi. I have it turned down below half and get no vibration and it's not bolted down. Also very quiet. Fish I think you are right. Once it warms up the wife won't see me until it starts to get cold again.
-
I went down to the garage today and cut this out. Man was it cold down there.
-
Thanks everybody.

Mrs Claus gave me a new DeWalt DW 788 for Christmas. Of course I had to set it up and use it already. Very nice. Very happy.
-
I bought a Rigid EB 4424 oscillating spindle sander today. It has all the spindles and also a 4" by 24" belt sander. I played with it a little and it's very quiet. I will give a better review after I give it a work out.

I did my first stack cut today. I stacked three pieces of 1/4" plywood and cut out a rose. After looking at a few of the close spots I noticed the bottom piece had been cut through. I stuck a speed square on the table and found the table and blade weren't square. On the positive side the wife still liked the two I was going to throw away and it was an easy quick pattern to cut so it didn't take me hours to find out I screwed up. The table and blade are square now.
-
I'm happy to hear somebody was able to take advantage of that deal. Congrats.
-
Yea that's a great price. If I had the money I would buy one myself.
-
Amazon has them right now for $329.99 or including the stand and light for $433.70.

I just wanted to let everybody know about my experience with Ocooch hardwoods. I ordered six different woods from them. When they came I had one that I didn't know what it was. It had no color and figured it had to be cherry or bloodwood. I called and talked to them on the phone and we figured it was cherry. I told him it was ok and he said he would send me one with color and keep the other one. I got the new cherry today and there were two and they are beautiful. Long story short they have great customer service and I know where I will be buying my wood from.
