Coop Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Might want to post in Market Place to get more action. That’s a bunch of darn clamps. Wishing you well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted January 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 I think I'd be better off trading on one of the forums. Maybe for routers or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on dialysis not. Some days I'm in the shop some days I don't feel well enough to be in the shop... I worked for a designer for 4 weeks in Dec. to help him finish a job and even at 5 hrs a day some days were difficult. That 10-12 hr day thing I did all those years are gone. Better at housework now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlyoak Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 I enjoy shop work around 2 or 3 hours a day. Due to old age and several surgeries on my skeleton, beyond 3 hours is not comfortable. Working at bench level is the best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Trouble getting in the shop sometimeds. A little sanding. Went through 5 old Mirka belts breaking at the seam. Old Ebay off brands still holding together. Funny.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Sawdust Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 @BillyJack Have you tried the Mirka discs they're touting now that aren't really sandpaper but something that's supposed to last longer and vent dust easier? I was just thinking I should order some. I've not used their belts but the pack of discs I bought a few years ago are still doing quite well, and I thought a good value for the money.

There are a lot of companies that make good sandpaper disc.some last longer, some more agressive some better at the start, some paper some not. All are in general are good. How much you spend per disc and what's expected will define the meaning of happy. Over all I buy VSM When ever possible. I usually buy self sticking but will add a velcro to one of the sanders for use with Surf-prep sandpaper... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
