Makita 9741 Wheel Sander

Product Information

The Makita excels at removing things that have built up on the surface of the wood, but not stuff, like stain, that have penetrated into it. After peeling and just before scribing and setting, the logs were cleaned and shaped with a Makita curve base planer which worked great and produced a very nice "draw knife" appearance. Exchanging brushes can be a bit finnicky as you need to lie the machine on its side, pull a long pin out, swap out brushes, and sometimes must jiggle the pin back into alignment, then you tighten it all back up. It will not sand the outside vertical edge of your door, as the brush will move over the edge and not down the edge. I bet some of you are probably thinking to yourselves right now -- why would I spend that kind of money on yet another sander when I could just attack that thing with my Rotex and be done with it?

But as you saw from the side by side test with the Rotex, it really does do something that no other hand-held sander can do. Participants should undertake the use of machinery, materials and methods discussed at WOODWEB's Message Boards after considerate evaluation, and at their own risk. FOB Queensbury, NY - You will be contacted with a freight quote or you can arrange your own freight. In general, your product has to be ready to finish before it comes to the brush sander before you are going to get the benefits of the brush sander.

The wire brush could be pressed in to get some of it, but the amount of force probably required to do that would start degrading the profile and raising the grain before all of the stain were removed.

Whiskey Barrel Stave Cleaning Process Whiskey Barrel Stave | When I received my first barrel almost 10 years ago I had no idea how hard it was going to be to prep and cleaning barrel staves and heads into usable wood so I could create the wild ideas rattling around in. The brushes are arranged in a three-dimensional pattern, which allows them to sand in multiple directions at once. Being in the service industry for almost 20 years, I have seen a lot of changes in machinery as well as product. I had looked into getting a Rustofix from abroad, but ultimately decided against it because of power (240V) and warranty issues.

What is reclaimed wood and how do you clean it is the riddle that we are trying to solve and somehow preserve some of or enough of the character of the reclaimed wood and still be able to make beautiful furniture with it. The grain raising effect is clearly more dramatic than just working the surface with the 80 grit nylon wheel, and the amount of time it took was significantly reduced. The Alpha-Brush Victory is the perfect machine for sanding linear profiles made of wood, metal, plastic or composites. It's nice that I don't have to worry and toil about prepping the timber, and can simply attack it with my new toy.
