Thread: Looking for a small scale making setup

Also, using the drums and these plans you can sand your scales to the proper thickness. Very handy

That looks like a good way to approximate the setup I'm using and for a fraction the cost. That said, I wouldn't give up my spindle sander or drill press for anything.

Here's what I'm using:

Steel City Tool Works - Product Categories

Delta Industrial Model SA350K Bench Oscillating Spindle Sander with a 1/4HP - Rockler Woodworking Tools

For a small workspace, Walt's setup looks ideal.
