DelF Posted January 31 #1 Posted January 31 I originally bought this with a view to scratch building HMS Winchelsea. I don't think that's going to happen now as I've still got HMS Sphinx on the stocks and Indefatigable and a couple of smaller kits in their boxes. We're planning to move to a retirement village later this year so I won't be taking my big workshop tools with me (I'm also going to list my Proxxon DS460 scroll saw). I used the sander once to shape some replacement parts for a friend's rocking horse and it did a great job. It's very solidly built and would be useful for general DIY jobs as well as model building. The machine came with six coarse grit sanding sleeves and I bought a second fine grit set. The sander retails for just under £170 plus around £10 for the extra sleeves. I'd be happy for it to go to a Forum member for £100. Due to size and weight this will have to be for collection only, from Worksop in North Nottinghamshire.
