no really it's me
ok to add some confusion, this is my thread. update to my phone caused me to loose my user name and password. haven't actually logged in for years by typing the info. when I got on the computer and tried to reset the password it sent me to another username that I had apparently set up using the same email address. Anyway I got that fixed.
now as for the outfeed table, the conveyer belt does go up and down which is why I thought of attaching it to the sander in a way that it would move with the conveyer. I am new to a drum sander, I literally had zero experience with one before I brought this home. So I have not been around and watched as others have used one and gleaned any knowledge. If I do as has been suggested, support the piece in and out by hand, it sands the wood flawlessly. I am very happy with how well it sands. I intend on sanding resawn veneers with it. I have read where people use a piece of mdf and double face tape as a sled to sand thinner than the stated capacity of the machine. Would anyone here have any experience with that?
