EthAnswers Sanding A Huge Burl Slab On The Flatmaster

Ethan uses the 24" Flatmaster drum sander to sand this 23"x34" burl slab. He starts with a 60g, then goes to 120g and finally finish sands it up to a 220g. Make sure you look at the finished product!

hello Ethan nice one question can you sand flat let say a 40 inch top on a 24 inch flatmaster a bit like with a open drum sander

Cool. I just got my 24" kit yesterday and I'm anxious to get it together. I've been thinking about how to adapt to do accurate thickness sanding. Any ideas on that?

Hmm... well in this video Ethan talks about how to adjust the depth of cut on the Flatmaster. That will most likely answer your question: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3a9f6GBiM93lZI

Thanks Umbala. I didn't know they had posted this video.

@@akquicksilver Hi JB, are you still using the Flatmaster? Are you happy with it? Would you buy it again? Thanks. George

@@georgebrill3072 Hey George, I got side tracked and never built it. I just found the kit again in my shop and will probably get it put together this winter.
