I have the general, very happy with it, very solid unit, going to look into that 3" spindle.
I have my dads that dates back to 60's or more i think, it is a brute, it was our only sander for 15 years before i got my own makita. tough as nails.

I have the EX26 with short rails, works very nice, once its set up and you use it awhile you will love it, wish I had the longer rails, will up grade when i get a new shop later this year.
Do you have a 60 degree live center drove myself crazy with the same problem until i figured out mine was not.

thanks for the great idea john, i'll get something hooked up soon.

Very nice, I noticed the pegs look like they overhang the body part, i`ve not seen it done like this before, was it hard to produce, it makes for a very nice fit.
It was an automatic reaction to blow on it, then it occurred to me thats how I help it set up when i`m finishing pens.
pens are nice, the maple bowl is awesome, the babinga looks like the one i had before i went to deep and made a funnel:o
WOW, in my dreams, the more i look at it the more detail i find.
The finger is good, there is a 3/16th" spot that is still discoloured a week later, it hurt for a couple days.
:eek: :o :D

I used ca, 1 coat thin, 1 coat thick, a few i had to add a little extra as i sanded through it, then a coat of turners polish from LV, having a little trouble getting the ca smooth to eliminate some...
Here are the pens i did in between both exploding :mad: and non exploding bowls. I like the imperial and jr statesmen pens, but not the americana gold rolerball, the black part scratches real easy,...
