The Ultimation sander

[DKS]

...but it doesn't help you square up DPM walls.

That's what I use my micro-table saw for. This looks... well, vaguely interesting, but considering the cost, not very. Especially since I already have a NWSL true sander.

Too bad that they did not implement an incra jig device for the angular adjustment.

Look it up. Lol.

Bump... anyone have any recent/updated experience with this, or the Ultimation Slicer?  They do look like very well made tools AFAICS.

Ed:  I was thinking a spring, but the same idea.  One "winds it up", then it runs for a while.  A very common design before high-powered lightweight motors and batteries came along.

But the price does seem very high compared with battery powered versions.  One would think that a purely mechanical design would cost less than the electric ones.

Got one with the additional guide.  I find it great for scratch building wood structures.  With this setup I crank out parts with very good precision in the the angle and length.    Yes it is simple hand crank no motor.  a few quick turns you are done.     for me it is a very specific tool for a specific job.       Their version of the chopper has me intrigued for cutting thicker stock.     the chopper tends to wander on thick stock and is not very repeatable.    Hence the sander came into play for my needs.   Do you really need one ??  ehh no.   but for my needs its perfect.

We all have a particular OCD tendency with making our modeling efforts as precise, but dealing primarily with timber structures doesn’t require as much precision as we try to achieve. If you look at most railroad timber structures, they are actually pretty rough as far as the joinery. “Close enough for RR work” seems to be the operative standard.

Is this mainly for thicker strip stock?  It doesn't look like it would do well on a full DPM wall casting, given the different speeds from edge to center on the small disc.

They were also selling them for $180 in person.

$180 MAYBE if the table tilted too.  At least I could model during blackouts...

mostly used strip stock.   I ll pick up a dpm kit and try it over the weekend
