Check with rockaukum for a bridge. I bought mine from him and he had a bunch at the time. I use my grinder as a dry sander all the time, it's amazing. Just remember to protect the coolant from any sawdust. That will turn your coolant nasty fast. design of this machine similar to edge sander for woo...

THX

first I need to get converter and make or find somewhere binding bridge. 2 new aluminum oxide belts on it now. . I want to put switch on the pump this way machine can be use dry as wood sander.

I have the problems with snocad's printout templates. Print same PDF file three times today and every time dimensions slightly different from what it should be. One template 20--30mm shorter and T/W/T approximately 10 mm narrower . Second template overall length 175 instead of 170 T/W/T also slightl...

IMO variable speed very important especially if you going to run large diameter bits. You can go two ways buy router with VS or buy speed controller separately, $20 in HF

update to this old thread. Back in 2010 I missed this grinder. While I was thinking somebody snatch it from under my nose. Later on I met the guy under different circumstances. Last week unexpectedly he called ....and I got the machine. Unfortunately price was bit higher from two years ago but small...

wow great picture.
How is condition at Smags? I am planning to get over there tomorrow

at first, couple months ago, I planned to go same way as you do. Currently decided to go little different direction. don't have final results because it's not complete yet. He's in my idea: each rail built from three components 1 plates on the bottom which bolted to the table 2 template of the shape...

I understand this is commercial posting tread. Don't want to be price police TGR style BUT.... The price you're asking kind of high considering you selling to fellows ski builders. SDW selling 1.4 edges about $13 pair or $130 for 10 pairs equals yours 10 pounds. only $20 difference? " Where's t...

Aluminium acts as a heat sink. Steel conducts the heat. In the absence of the right insulation, it must get quite hot. Personally, I like to keep the hose as cool as possible. why not to add insulation? okay regular fiberglass will not work, that's understandable. in this case several layers of thi...

I was going to ask about using G-flex on gluing sidewall and edges.
Looks like good product for the job. Why not use it?
As far price. It a little bit more money compared to gorilla glue but definitely cheaper per Oz compare to loctite superglue

IIRC CDW edges 1.4mm not 1.3mm

I'm building router bridge too. My rail made from 1 1/4"x 1/4" steel and have some flex imo it have to be at least 3/8 thick or supported every 6 to 8 inches. collar with allen wrench interesting idea but I think locking screw will ruin thread on the bolt. My thoughts were to use shims and...

MadRussian - do you know where to find 100mm brakes for the pivots?? That would at least fit my "normal" sized skis, I haven't even been able to find those! I called Look customer service part department. Make sure you identify correctly which one you need because they have different conn...

One thing I'm a little bummed about, in general... I started doing inserts in my skis last year, so I could swap bindings around. Great! I'm using these old-ish Look Pivots/Rossignol Axials, which I love. Except that I don't have brakes wide enough for my skis, even the skinnier skis. I've been usi...
