the oscillating cutting tool and round sander look tempting ..

Are the sanding discs for the disc sander easily obatainable in local sores like B and Q.

 

[Pete.]

I wonder how slow that disc sander will run, and how much grunt it will have at the slowest speed? Might make a good candidate for a diamond lapping machine if you added a couple of 4" chinese diamond discs.

I've got the multi tool decent enough , well I haven't killed it yet !
Saxton blades excellent for replacement cutters

Has anyone bought & tried the little disc sander? Temptation keeps kicking in every time I see them.

 

[Ruffian]

I'm very tempted by the little chop saw, got a project coming up which will invole cutting lots of 20mm box.

I bought one but haven't used it. Pretty gutless to be honest, and the motor needs balancing.

 

[MattF]

Sounds like one to give a miss then. Cheers.

I walked past one of the 125mm disc sanders in lidl today and they have 140 watt motors. the 125mm clake disk and belt sander that I have has a 300 watt motor. so there is a difference in power.

the cavity wax gun is puzzling me, i have an aldi spot blaster gun which is identical ,itried adding a piece of metal pipe and a short clear hose to it but no matter what i did i could not get it to spray blackwaxoyl, makes me wonder if lidls ones worth buying?

You do realise it's a da sander designed to oscillate?

i have an aldi spot blaster gun

Sure it's not designed as a sand blaster?

A Lidl spot blaster is designed for removing blackheads

Are you sure? It's bench mounted.

 

[postie jon]

Are you sure? It's bench mounted.

oscillates across the bench and out the door....

There isn't a bench mounted sander on offer!!!

 

[Ruffian]

I would like to know how you guys already got bits?? As says it' being released in stores today?

 

[bert]

I have one of the bench disc sanders and its ok, I use it for sharpening my tungstens mostly but also for light sanding of metal.
