dsavitsk Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 FWIW, I have a big brother version of that sander, and I absolutely loathe it. It turns out that a sander can have way too much power. The little one is more useful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 The Ridgid seems pretty good, especially after I went to aftermarket paper. Really only used the belt sander up to this point. The Dust Right on the other hand is about five minutes from being rolled up the driveway for trash pickup tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be pretty popular, there are about 5 other similar sanders but the Rigid seems to be the best of the group. Hmm, I may need one of these. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 I am going to flip the router table tonight so I can screw on the Dust Right box tomorrow when I get some screws. Not sure I can fit anything else in my shop at this point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing with the function, I like suction and how quiet it is. The putting together part is a cluster as it seems every screw is positioned exactly to have as little access as possible to it. Needed to use 4 different lengths of drivers and one screw head in a ratchet for the 16ish screws. Then you have to balance the fucking motor on top of the frame while trying to blindly find the holes that cannot be seen without standing on your head risking dropping the 80 pound thing on said head.

VPI Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 To make it even worse it somehow gave me carpal tunnel syndrome and ever since putting it together my left wrist is fucking shot. Can’t even pick anything up with my left hand since. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 The little Lie-Nielsen and honing guide finally made it out of UPS purgatory and were delivered. The block plane is dramatically less substantial than the Stanley version. Feels much better in use and things do not seem to just magically loosen up in use like the Stanley Sweetheart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Sawyers Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I have that same Lie Nielsen low angle block plane too. Then I bought a regular angle and a rebating low angle block plane by superb Chinese Quangsheng. These are basically Lie Nielsen knock offs, but are fantastically good quality with a thick iron that takes a razor edge, and needs hardly any back flattening.

The Quangsheng are branded as WoodRiver here in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 I have a Woodriver 4 1/2. It seems nice. The Bridge City one is still on back order so I have no idea if they are any good. I definitely need one more little Woodpecker thing to fill this annoying gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augsburger Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Well from this perspective the finish looks like a sprayed lacquer finish. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m starting to run out of room 😬 once the jointer and bandsaw arrive I won’t have much room. The wings are 45” wide so it would take up considerable real estate. Commercial space is calling my name. Or just moving to a place where I can build a 5000sqft shop. 🤔 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Surely your neighbors wouldn't mind if you bought one of the inflatable ones and bonus, you could let the kids use it as a bouncy house? https://www.amazon.com/Happybuy-Inflatable-13x8x7ft-Portable-Workstation/dp/B07LDNL7GF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
