It’s AWESOME! Love this thing…:)
Basically gives a 24” sanding stroke. Makes swift work of what used to be quite tedious with the regular dish…

Now tone debate, cylindrical vs domed. Yay |

I thought he said it was radiused. |

Yeah, nah, no debates here thanks. It's just the inside 2' of a 4' radius dish. Spherical, not cylindrical. So instead of driving the bus with tiny sanding strokes, I can just back and forth it in a fraction of the time. I'm rather chuffed about it...

I want one! but I'm afraid it would totally take over my shop with the space it requires haha! |

It is a beast. At some point it will have its own bench. The amount of time it saves though... |

Loving it! Looks like it might be as fast as a motorized radius dish without the dust! What do you think about storing it upright? Pat |

Great idea! |

Yeah I think I’ll not bother going motorized, even though soon I’ll have more than enough room for it. I do store it upright, which obviously takes up way less space… |

Nice Ed! I bet with the right grit on that board it moves pretty fast too. You could always hog off some stuff with spoke-shaves and or planes to get it going too. |

It sure is nice to find a tool that speeds up a job and has no downside against the finished product. |

I must be missing something here.. How could you motorize it, if you can only can go back and forth? |

A motorized dish would have to be a spherical radius. I made one that fits on the top of my main workbench and breaks down so it can be stored out of the way. Not that hard to do. And my old joints were happy when I retired from driving the bus. |

Not that hard to do. And my old joints were happy when I retired from driving the bus. This thing is sepherically radiused. Imagine a standard radius dish with a 4’ diameter, then chop off the edges to leave you the inner 2’… |

Somewhere (youtube??) I saw a giant sanding belt applied to an old junker treadmill. I think the fellow was using it for cabinet work. |

It’s one of those things where if you had one too, you’d immediately appreciate it’s value… |
