has anyone found a quality trimmer that doesn't need sharpening if u look at it too long?
Steve
I to use the disk sander I find trimmers a real pain in the proverbial
That is most kind of you Dan and much appreciated thanks you.I may have a spare one Ray. If I find it a will send you it on with the kits
When I've sharpened the trimmer I've used a diamond file on the part of each blade you can see when you look down at the six cutters if that makes sense?Ray, when you sharpen it do you sharpen just on the long flat part or the short cutting surface? I believe the right way is on the long back side of the trimmer. I do it this way with just a little swipe of the cutting surface
now the expense of a sander comes into it:nonono:
I gotta stop spending
do i dare ask how much a sander is?
my trimmer is wasting more blanks and time I care to think about

Machine mart do one for about £110 , if you're going to any even where charnwood will be exhibiting they usually do about 15% off and their sander is £169 before discount. I'm planning on getting one as they are useful for other things like smoothing off faces to glued together.now the expense of a sander comes into it:nonono:

You don't need the expense of a sander, turn a disc attach to a faceplate stick some scratch on it, you have a sander init?
I would strongly suggest you look at the tips and jigs section for lots of great ideas.
