[Milo Christensen]

Some of us don't have lawn tractors, but nearly all of us have an old power tool somewhere.

Carbide tipped wheels anyone?

I'm on dial up so I didn't watch the video but.........
I won a belt sander race in Vermont at a hardware store grand opening with a Makita 3x 24, running 40 grit paper back in the early '90's. From what I've seen, things have changed quite a bit since then.
My Makita is still running strong. The B&D 1/3 sheet sander that I won shyte the bed a long while back:rolleyes:
