Is this what you mean? http://www.boehler-minitool.com/engl...2&modus=listew

If it is, then I got mine at SuperCheap Auto, but it was a run out clearance (I really wanted one when they were $120, and eventually paid $40 for it) so they may well not have any left.

The website does list a distributor for Australia though - you could contact them and find out where they are sold.

I've got a Bohler , works well.
There is also another brand but its far more exxy.

My local Supercheap still had them a couple of weeks ago.

Hi Guys
Could you tell us the advantages of using one of these please.Might have to get one before they run out.If I know what to do with it

[petersemple]

I haven't used mine yet - It's stored away for when I get started on my carved top mandolin. It just looks brilliant for sanding a curved surface like that. Should save me a lot of hand sanding - although I suspect the last little bit will get done by hand still.

If the item is being discontinued would'nt the little sanding discs be a problem to source?

[echnidna]

The discs are 5" and standard random orbit discs would work.

Its a product line that seems to be come and go at supercheap.
Maybe they won't be around in the future but maybe they will.

[Cruzi]

They looked smaller than 5" in the pics, must have been looking at wrong model

[weisyboy]

im talking the hig one it has like a 400mm sanding area you use iyt for sandign slabs and stuff.

like teh floor sander type.

there is a similar oen at cash converters for $350. i didnt see it so i dont know the brand or anyhting.

[echnidna]

The Bohler one is all plastic and seems a bit tinny.
I bought mine to sand a cork tiled floor.
Did a great job.

Me offsider reckoned it was so tinny it probably wouldn't last to get the job done.
So I let him do most of the sanding. He reckoned it worked better than the big fancy sanders he had been hiring for sanding floors.

After we finished that job he went and bought one for himself.

It'll be a great sander for table tops.

Sounds like you're talking about the Surcare Sander

[weisyboy]

thats the one i saw.

gregories sell it so it wont be cheep.

ill give super cheep and tehn gregories a call tomorow.

[petersemple]

The one I have that I got for $40 was the smaller (hold it in one hand) one. The big one looks too big for what I had in mind for it (mandolin curves)
