I resaw my own woods for making large fretwork clocks. Has anyone any suggestions for a wide belt drum sander? King is one brand of sander I have seen, Performax 16-32 drum sander is more expensive, is it worth it? any other suggestions? north wood clocks

Sander Plans
I haven't used a commercial thickness sander before but I have come across some plans.

From other discussions I have had with people it seems a sander with the drum on the top and an adjustable table is better than the table with a drum protruding through the top.
The latter is ok for surface sanding but does not allow uniform thickness.CAЯL HIRD-RUTTEЯ"proud member of the best scroll sawing forum on the net."Ryobi SC180VS scroll saw EX21

The 2 that I've been debating between are the Performax and the Delta. From all my reading and research, I'm going with the Performax.
FWIW, I use a sled on my planer now for planing down to very thin thicknesses, I've planed as thin as 3/32" without issue.

Thank you
Thank you , thank each of you (Dale, Rhys H, Carl, and Keven) for taking the time to answer my query about making thin woods or veneers. I was looking to make 3/32 wood for a project. I really appreciated the web page suggestions from "Canadian Scroller". Very interesting. Thanks again for the help.
I eventually took some very strait grain wood and got it very close with
out buying a new machine this time.

The pattern pullouts are broken up into 8-1/2 x 11 s
At he end of each issue is a copy of the entire pullout for that issue....-

Reply to Needed a fixby RolfOur house is 3/4 of a mile from the bay, and then about 2 miles across the bay by boat to fire island and the ocean. About half of the bay is shallow with lots of shore birds etc. Google Belllport Village in maps. For us this place is a small slice of heaven.
