Byrnes thickness sander

[rtibbs2018]

Just received my Byrnes thickness sander and gave it a “road test” this morning. Just like all his tools it’s solidly built, runs very smoothly and with the ability to have two different grits installed should you need to remove lots of material, you can run it through the coarse grit side then fine tune the thickness on the finer grit side.

Also, I found that the fine dust produced can be used as a wood filler when mixed with a little adhesive giving you the same filler as the wood you are building with.

It now sits next to my Byrnes table saw and disk sander.

There aren't too many tools you can enjoy without even using them, are there?

Ditto, Bob!!!

Agree. It's so nice to be able to mill that perfect plank as needed.

What’s ironic is that for years I’ve been using, IMHO, junk tools (who shall remain nameless) when these fine products are made less than 30 miles from my home.

We are a society of "accumulating things", yet when you work with quality products such as the Byrnes line of tools it is not so. I have owned, for example the Preac table saw. Which, in itself was a decent product, but limited. Now that I own both the table saw and thickness sander I have come to appreciate them more with each use. They are peerless!

There's no substitute for a very high quality tool.  From the feel of handling it to the precision and fit that they exhibit and in which they engage the work.
