Powermatic 1791100 Model 13 6-Inch 1-1/2 Horsepower Edge Sander, 115/230-Volt 1 Phase

Powermatic 1791100 Model 13 6-Inch 1-1/2 Horsepower Edge Sander, 115/230-Volt 1 Phase Review



Powermatic 1791100 Model 13 6-Inch 1-1/2 Horsepower Edge Sander, 115/230-Volt 1 Phase Feature

  • 1-1/2 horsepower, single-phase 115/230-volt motor
  • Belt size 6 by 89 inches; 4-inch dust collection shroud
  • 10- by 29-1/2-inch cast-iron table
  • Includes miter gauge and fence
  • 50 by 21-1/2 by 43 inches (L by W by H); weighs 245 pounds; 1-year warranty
Rugged and dependable, this 6-inch edge sander is equipped with a sturdy 1-1/2-horsepower motor that spins the belt at 3,900 surface feet per minute for smoothing out larger workpieces quickly. A large, main table supports bigger material, while a stable end-table provides support for tricky contour sanding operations. The sander features a 6- by 89-inch sanding belt for handling longer workpieces. A 29-1/2- by 10-inch table offers plenty of support for larger stock. And, the sander’s cast iron table raises, lowers, and sets at an angle while the sanding bed tilts from 0 to 90 degrees for controlled sanding of a wide variety of workpieces. More great features include a handy miter gauge makes angled sanding operations a breeze; an integral 4-inch dust collection shroud means cleaner workpieces and healthier lungs; an easy-to-reach tracking mechanism that keeps material moving straight through the sander for cleaner edges; and a cast-iron platen for optimal durability. -- Brian Olson

Pinnacle Cryogenic Roughing Gouge 3/4"

Pinnacle Cryogenic Roughing Gouge 3/4" Review



Pinnacle Cryogenic Roughing Gouge 3/4" Feature

  • Sub-zero cryogenically treated blade
  • Manufactured in Sheffield, England
  • European ash handle
  • Woodcraft exclusive design
  • Overall tool length 17" to 23"
Whether you are a professional production turner or a hobbyist with limited shop time, these cryogenically treated tools stay sharp two to three times longer than standard M-2 high-speed steel tools so you are turning more and sharpening less! Manufactured in Sheffield exclusively for Woodcraft, these cryogenically treated turning tools offer many of the characteristics of powdered metal tools without the cost of powdered metal tools. The cryogenic treatment process uses sub-zero temperatures, down to -300 degrees F, to modify the micro-structure of the steel into a more uniform grain structure that allows you to hone to a fine edge without chipping. Also, your cutting edge is more durable and more resistant to wear. Each tool is mounted in a European ash handle. Overall tool lengths range from 17" to 23".
