Drum Sanders are expensive equipment and require due upkeep and maintenance.

Thanks so much........

If you buy a dedicated drum sanding machine you will be up for a few bob but the ones that fit onto a bench grinder or into a drill are cheap enough.
Pneumatic drums are worth whatever it takes to get one set up. Marvelous for intarsia.

my friend says that if you have trouble cutting a straight line
it may be due to your hands. He says cutting a straight line is the hardest cut. we both liked the email newsletter

I have to agree with Steve, Carba-tec are very good for supplies, I use precision ground blades, however they are not easy to use for the novice. The best thing I did was to purchase a better quality scroll saw. The Ryobi was my starting point, however after killing two of these I took the plunge and with the help of family, purchased an 'Excalibur'. It is remarkable how much easier the 'Excalibur' is to operate and use then the Ryobi. But it does not matter what machine you use, buy the blade for the job, and experiment.
