Very cool story on this primo grip sander.....
Caution,strong machine commentary,sorry if it hurts any feelings. Here we go....
10" bandsaws are a funny lot..... some of them I wouldn't give to the Gkids to play with they're so bad,irrespective of country of origin..... Recent,like since the interweeb,these small BS's have gotten very lopsided reviews. Most just get lumped into the category of junk.
This is one exception..... and no,not the "label",even though this one stands on that level,very proudly. No,the exception is.... look,no blade. That is simply,a 5 second job of ripping a big sander belt into a 1/2" wide strip and then quickly skiving and hit it with a slow set epoxy and smack a pony springy clamp on it....
AT THE LENGTH OF WHAT THE MACHINE CALLS FOR.
Come back tomorrow and throw it on the machine and voila...... one of the cheapest,most "practical" detail sanders... "ever". Haha. A pce of 3X5 steel angle gets cut 1" long and clamps on for a platen but.... that ain't what this is about(got other sanders). Toss all the saws guides and assorted blade stuff,in a baggie and affix it to the machine somewhere .
