"minor" upgrade

[Thom2]

I got a pretty good giggle when I compared my new sander to the old one, or is that the old sander to the new one??? .... well anyway .... bigger is better, age is a matter of the mind ..... and I don't mind the age, so it don't matter




I don't think I'll ever need to upgrade again

Dang it, Man! Now that there is a sander. Lets have some details.

Looks like a father/son sanding set. Did you get a miter gauge with it? If not, I found one at HF for under $10. BTW, was Quaker State Oil on sale?

Is that a 12" disc, or are you just happy to see me?

basically it's this model ...... http://www.amazon.com/Delta-31-280K-...1?ie=UTF8&s=hi

sander and about 30 belts for $200, gonna have to drop about $30 on miscellaneous missing parts yet. I think I did okay

Did you get a miter gauge with it?
BTW, was Quaker State Oil on sale?

1.) yes
2.) that's trans fluid in that pic, specifically it's Chrysler +3 fluid, the ONLY Quaker State product that I'll purchase. I wouldn't touch their motor oils with a 10' pole

Which one??? ..... I had my wife convinced the little one was 12"

That is a thing of beauty!! Very nice, Tom!

I know its in the back of your mind, but just to remind you, DON'T TURN ON THE BELT SANDER!

For every one else, I got $2 that says the little sander already went sailing. Whos in?

I'm in. Another $2 as to it landing in more than one piece?


Thom, you're nuts....and don't ask "what about em."

I'll throw in $5 if he hasn't and would video tape it.

I have the same 12" disc / 6"x48" belt sander.... be ready to buy a new motor pully and switch....Those are the parts I go through the most....in a high school shop class..

Just wanted to update and show the progress pics .... I spent a "little" time on it ....




BTW: Thanks Jeff, your post prompted me to examine the motor pulley more closely than I normally would have, it is cracked and while it's working for now it will need replacement in short order.
