Sanding

[sawduster]

I'm in the same camp as others in the pre-sanding, reverse-tooth blade and burning-spiral-fuzzies-off
Another thought though, Dremel makes a small router table to fit their rotary tool and offer small roundover bits as well. I have bought the bits and hope one day to make my own table to give it a try. Several folks in the magazine articles use them

Maybe a solution for you ? For the fretwork anyway

I know that I'll never get paid enough for a piece for that kind of time, but I'd rather have a room full of pieces I'm proud of than ones I've worked on and are okay. Is there an to sand the inside edges, especially with ornaments? (please!)

Nothing wrong with sanding to the enth degree and you said it best yourself. I have sanded wood so much it shines on it's own, no finish. I looks great that way.

Andy, that drum sander makes sense to me. The only intarsia class I took used an 8" wide belt sander that was moving at what seemed to me to be warp speed. And then they wanted us to sand and shape a bear's nose????? I'll try the different methods.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
