[@dscritter614]

I'm a newbie, and boy, did I just learn A LOT! That was so helpful. Thank u!

[@mikedeman5351]

Just want to say I am really enjoying this 'Basics' series. These videos are SO helpful, especially to beginners and 'improvers'. Thank you for sharing your experience and expertise. :)

Thank you! I was going crazy trying to remember what kind of sander we used in shop class when I was in middle school (because I need something similar for a current project) and thanks to this video, I now know it was a disc sander.

Pura vida this guy is an excelent teacher with great explanation about this issue. Pura vida =thanks guys

[@LDBecker]

Thanks for these videos. I watched it because the title mentioned “drum sanders,” which actually don’t seem to be covered in this video. I struggle with my 16/32 drum sander trying to sort out what grit to use, and how to keep from burning wood and damaging belts (I AM getting good at changing belts, though-haha $$$). Thanks!

[@Assimilator702]

Lawrence Becker It’s best to be conservative and start at higher grits. Remember 220 grit is what’s usually used for paint prep. So anything lower will remove stock at a more aggressive rate. Also the density of wood is something to consider.

What model belt/disc sander do you have in this video?

[@icespeckledhens]

Interesting review on sanders, a bit easier than using shooting boards, spokeshaves etc

[@copper12heavy69]

Whoop dang! I think I can smell the quality of that beast from here. That ain't no hobby sander.

[@G_Silent]

Almost all professional grade machines use 6 inch belts. Hobby sanders usually use a 4 inch belt.

That oscillating sander is pretty nice. I’ve seen one but I’ve never used one.

[@codymarsh8117]

Very well done. Subscribed

[@breaktime919]

Wow that’s a nice tool.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Great Video

[@jmjluvdance]

SAFETY ALERT! At about 4:30 in the video you turn on the sander and put the hole over the moving spindle. I have seen blood, bruises, and 911 calls for people that have done this. ****** MATERIAL SHOULD BE ON THE TABLE ANY TIME THAT THE SPINDLE IS TURNING.******

[@Fight2BeFreeNeverGiveUp]

Will you share the make and model of the combo sander please

[@Wood]

Not sure if the sander shown is still available, but the brand is Grizzly. If this isn;t the one shown, it's probably the replacement: amzn.to/3FRzv8G

[@Fight2BeFreeNeverGiveUp]

@@Wood thanks for that, unfortunately its an American product and would cost a lot for shipping. Very nice though. 👍

[@yysama3913]

Hello, I would like to ask, what are the different types of disc sander?

[@Wood]

They were covered in the video.

[@dbnoho]

Very close to buying a belt/disc sander for cutting board finish/shortcuts. I make end grain cutting boards. As you know, face grain, whatever quick sanding. But once it’s on the Endgrain I have to sand at 80 grit for an hour or so. I’m wondering if I can use a belt sander to get the 80 grit stage done and then move on with just random orbit for 100/150/200/220. Anyone try it that way because if it can save me 45 minutes per board, money well spent.

[@coreymacdonald944]

You need a drum sander

[@olonips]

I would mention that sanders generate a lot of sawdust, and a mask should be worn when using them

[@josuemaciel5717]

Would you ever use this tool to sand the full length of a board?

[@larrybarry6266]

Looks like a Grizzly G1276 6" x 48" Belt/12" Disc Combination Sander

[@cigear6282]

HERE FROM FALMOUTH SCHOOL

[@nephiilim]

i still dont see the difference between the belt and the disk. the sanding you did on the disc you can do on the belt just the same. so why a disc sander ?

[@BradleyBuiltWoodcraft]

He said “nut tight on the shaft” Love it

[@jimbrunett5025]

Waste of time. No mention of maker or model number?
