sanding preference?

yeah.. that's the justification, George.. carving.. My wife wants to get into carving designs on my bowls and goblets... she's never done any carving (except some very elaborate pumpkins) and I'm thinking that any accessories we buy for her should also be things that I could use for doing my thing, in case she decides that she doesn't like carving..

The Sioux angle drill is a drill and not a grinder, which is the most common use that we turners put it too, well, sanding actually, but the same idea. The major temptation for me is to apply more pressure, so that it removes scratches and tool marks faster. This puts extra stress on the drill, and doesn't make the sanding go faster IMOP, kind of like palm sanders. I have both slow and high speed drills, and don't notice that one wears out faster than the other, but less pressure definately extends the time between bearing replacements. I use 3 inch discs 90% of the time, and that adds pressure, but is much faster than the 2 inch discs.I also have one of their pneumatic angle drills that I haven't used that much, but need to experiment with. The older black drills seem to go longer between bearing sets that the newer grey ones. I do love the tool, as it saves me a lot of work. robo hippy
