Contributing Member SooperJake Posted March 8, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted March 8, 2013 I've owned one of these for years and love it. I use it for all sorts of things, leather just being one of them. Its both a belt sander as well as spindle sander and changing between modes takes seconds. http://www.ridgid.co...er/en/index.htm How's the dust collection on the Rigid?

Members Ran Posted March 8, 2013 Members Report Posted March 8, 2013 Jake...there's a dust collection port on the back of the machine. I have mine hooked right into my Jet dust collector Quote
Members WashingtonCross Posted July 2, 2013 Members Report Posted July 2, 2013 Hey there everyone! Looking to get a table sander for my belt edges. What is working best for you? The vertical belt orientation (something like this) or the horizontal belt orientation (like the Rigid)? OR does anyone use a disc type of sander? What would you recommend? I appreciate your feedback. Quote

Members goldenstonebazaar Posted July 12, 2013 Members Report Posted July 12, 2013 About top grit used: some are using up to 400-600 grit, but usually by hand, others use even micromesh belts from Lee Valley. A bit of overkill, maybe, but gives a smooth surface. Quote
