Nice set up Aditat I assume that's a length of 25mm all thread are the loadings the same on both drums?
So I had a job to make 600 ash comemorvative axe handles. And got this setup to help smooth the shapes and remove tooling marks. I ummed and arred for a while but decided this was the most cost effective solution that didn't take up much space.
I made the mistake of thinking m25 would be nice and straight, it wasn't!
, and my mate turned me a nut down to fit in the four jour and welded one up to sit on the live centre, he had a go at straightening the rod he got it usuable and it only spins at 600 rpm so it's not a problem.
The loadings (sanding fingers and brushes) was another issue as they where so expensive and I was worried I was going to get the wrong grits and would chew through them in minutes. I went with 140mm wide 120 and 240 I think and would get an axe handle perfect in about 25 seconds. Unosand said they last ages and they where right. After 600 handles they look like new and still cut perfectly.
I didn't have time to set up dust extraction so wore an air fed mask and several hoodies as it blasts cold air at your face endlessly. Not sure if your meant to use gloves with this thing as the brushes are so soft, after the first 50 I noticed my fingers getting very sore from being sanded so put a pair of gloves on and every 50 would have to stop to tape up the holes.
I also ordered 40 loadings of just brushes in the hope that I could buff the handles after oiling them. Rather than brush-fine finger-brush-wide finger standard setup. But wasn't getting results fast enough I think they where just to soft and fine.
its great setup for that sort of job
