Adjustable for different limb widths.

Ya got a PM .

Ouch, shipping is more than half the cost of the item.

Me, a power tool and limb tips. Not a good combo.

I always rough my tips on a spindle sander and have a lot of hand shaping afterwards . I think this tool will be more controllable but will practice on some scrap first.

Mike, be sure to let us know how it works I thought about buying one before but passed.

I bought the electric HF 1x18 several years back, it has performed decent. The HF belts don’t stay together, order some from TruGrit or Red Label and the increase in performance and durability is significant.

I picked up a new tool today from HF I think will work for tip shaping and corner rounding and sight window work. 1/2x18 p-newmatic operated belt sander.

I have one of those stic for metal work.
what grit sand paper are you going to use??
That thing is loud on full power

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #568 on:** February 25, 2021, 08:41:45 PM »

Don't know what grit yet. I played with it briefly today 60 may be too coarse.

Mad Max · « **Reply #569 on:** February 25, 2021, 08:46:26 PM »

I would think 120 to 180
Mine has a platen bar behind the belt, maybe should take that out

Stic, I have one of those. I tried it for roughing out shelves and I didn't care for it, I used 40 grit. I decided a farriers rasp was faster. They seem to go thru belts quickly.

Buemaker · « **Reply #571 on:** February 26, 2021, 05:10:29 AM »

Coming along, some fine adjustment and I will shape handle.

Actually the belly side of the tips was what I am hoping to shape with it. We will see.
Nice Bue and 4 point

Actually the bow looks crooked in the pic...

Nice looking lines Bue... How about one at full draw...

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #576 on:** February 26, 2021, 09:56:43 AM »

Shredd · « **Reply #577 on:** February 26, 2021, 10:50:42 AM »

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #578 on:** February 26, 2021, 04:12:17 PM »

I think he uses a "special" sweetener in his coffee in the morning:)

Buemaker · « **Reply #579 on:** February 26, 2021, 04:43:05 PM »

Full draw pic coming when I’m satisfied with it.
At least I must have my morning coffee with «special» sweetener first.
