At present I'm only sanding pieces 500mm x 70mm x 10mm so it's ideal for that. It's a pleasure to use. It sounds loud in the short video I posted but it's barely audible when it's on

Not sure why they made the bolt holes slotted? Maybe they were not confident that everything was going to line up? There is a 5 year warranty on the drum sanders so someone has fairh

Yes they could, the only reason they are that long is if they were short they would hit the stand when undoing them..they have Bristol handles fitted ( if thats the correct term?) But it take a few mins undoing them and then pulling the handle out to get it to the starting position again. So...

How things change, was told by Yandles it would be delivered today. So I took the day of work unpaid, £200 loss. Got to 4pm and no sign of the delivery. I tried to do a track my parcel with the delivery company but Yandles had not sent the correct bar code tracking. So I emailed Yandles and...
