l2bravo Report post Posted February 8, 2016 Has anybody made a power slicker of their own? What kind of motor? IE shaft, rpm, brand? I think it's a bit insane to pay $800 for one. Thanks guys, for any input. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manypawz Report post Posted February 8, 2016 I made mine for about $150.00 CAD, same reason as you, way too expensive on shops that I was looking at. I bought the variable speed bench grinder at Lowes, (70.00) the cocobolo burnisher from Proburnishers (40.00) and the sanding drum from Lee valley Tools. (30.00) I've added a picture with the specs of the grinder for you. Hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
