Popular Post Belle City WW Posted July 13, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Hi All, I hope you are having a great day in the Shop! Most of us are looking to improve our techniques and work efficiency so that we are capable of producing the best finished project possible. Some of the tings that help or hurt us in the shop are our tools. Using a tool not suited for a task can be dangerous and not very productive, while the right tools can make each step in the process a real joy. I know "The Tools do not a Craftsman Make" but let's face it they are fun to have I am always searching to upgrade when I can and I have been looking for a Clayton OSS for a very long time and have not been able to run one down that I could afford. I was looking for a bench top model and I found this on Facebook Marketplace. These models are usually found in production shops and are usually beat to death by time they are put up for sale. This one has spent it's entire life in a Hobby Shop. It has a baldor motor and it came with not one but two big boxes of sanding sleeves in all the sizes 30 bags of the sleeves have never been opened and each bag contains all the sleeves for the different sized drums. I paid less for this than I would have paid for a good used bench top model and with all the accessories and paper it was a steal of a deal. It has all the different sized drums and the plate covers for each size neatly stored and organized behind the front access door. This will replace my Rigid OSS/Oscillating belt sander unit. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle City WW Posted July 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Thank you all for your kind words. Mark J I gave the Rigid to my friend who is starting a woodshop as he is the one that went with me to get the Clayton. Thanks Coop! Do you ride as well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
