Spindle Sander
I am looking at purchasing a spindle sander. Most of them have a 4 inch spindle but only a 105 inch stroke. Why not a 3 inch stroke. Just wondering. Larry

Re: Spindle Sander
Long spindles are relatively easy to make.
Not so long stroke.

Re: Spindle Sander
My error it should read 1.5 inch stroke. Larry
Re: Spindle Sander
I (well, a machinist) outfitted my Rigid spindle sander with two inch extensions. Really makes a difference.

Gene: Any chance of getting some pictures. I have some metal working tools and could possibly copy your extension. Thanks Larry
Re: Spindle Sander
Sorry for the late reply, Larry. I'll try to get some pictures in the next few days
