I think that a belt sander is primarily to flatten work whereas a lin linisher will be to shape and polisher non flat surfaces.

A subtle difference and not readily appreciated.


Whether I'm right still points to a machine which is far too expensive in UK costing

A linisher is a belt sander. Linisher more often used for sanding metal and sander usually used to linish metal

And- don't blame me- a sander isn't a sander because it doesn't use sand and a linisher doesn't use linen any more.

And then, US car painters block while my British car-restoration books keep talking about flatting and buying from the various "factors."

I also have a page of shop translations that doesn't include all said above, but has to make it clear that a Vise is a Vice.

Isn't language interesting?

In Stirling( Now that's a name to conjure with) there is a condom factory next to a pram( Perambulator) factory-- or so the story goes.

Not that I want to worry anybody- giggles discretely!!!

And the Americans spend a lot of money on condominiums-- which must be a great drawback- more giggles.

And who was it who practiced the Wedding March on the organ ---- and it was an upright one that had to be worked with bellows. And to get the bass notes on had to use one's feet.

Happily, I live in a house that was built in the grounds of a lunatic asylum. When the need arises, I will not have far to walk

Hey Bazmac--I have some interest on shapers by machinists in another forum. If you give me the okay, I will post the drawings I made for you a couple of years ago. Let me know please.---Brian

 

[bazmak]

Yes no problem Brian,that is why we produced them. Just as a matter of interest I have had 1 or 2 adverse comments
on the shaper.Mainly saying it was a waste of time and why not get a mill,or I could remove more matl with a file
I replied that models are not intended to do useful work but entertain. Wonder what they would have thought
of your logcutter.I also mentioned some of the beautiful multi cylinder radial engines and mentioned they don't fly
Anyway glad you are keeping well and still in touch Regards barry

If people think shapers are too slow, why do they lust over the old pillar drills? Why not buy a new ugly boxed shaped thing with a greater range of speeds and more power.

Curiosity made me google

Who invented the pillar drill?
The invention of the first electric drill is credited to Mr.Arthur James Arnot and William Blanch Brain, in 1889, at Melbourne, Australia. Wilhelm Fein invented the portable electric drill in 1895, at Stuttgart, Germany. In 1917, Black & Decker patented a trigger-like switch mounted on a pistol-grip handle

Now in Australia the pillar drill is called a pedestal drill (base sits on the floor) and the shorter one that sits on a bench is suitably called a bench drill. Both generally called a drill press.. Now what happened to pillar? Does anyone in Australia younger than 50 still call them pillar drills? When you say pillar to most people here in Oz nowadays, they think of that soft thing you lay your head on in bed..

Isn't language interesting?

Certainly is! Languages must evolve because my son uses words I have never heard before even though there is only 20yrs between us.

First time I heard the word linisher was over 25ys ago in a lawn mower repair shop, when I questioned the owner what it was for, was told it was for primarily for sharpening blades.

The only problem I see with the little machine it was not made to run in the US. In the infinite wisdom of Edison he could save a nickel and not run 3ph to homes and only give residents 120v power for safety. These little buggers run 220v even on US ebay. $50 in supplies later, oh it doesn't meet code. "Only a single or duplex receptacle that is not GFI is allowed for large appliance such as a refrigerator." Maybe if I put in a $1oo ground fault/arc fault breaker in I can use it in my garage shop

Would this be called a linisher? Delta/Rockwell 31-354 Sander/Grinder.

Maybe consider one of these step up transformers. I had to get a step down to power a drill doctor and a Dremel out of the US.
Handy if you need to run any other 240v tools you may have or acquire.

[bazmak]

Yes john that looks like a nice homemade linisher

 

[Wizard69]

Actually I bought a pillar drill, brand new of all things, and actually see that as a mistake trying to outfit a shop. The money would have been better spent on a mill.

This has me wondering what would be the accepted way to grow a shop.

[Wizard69]

Well it looks like you got an interesting machine there. I hope you get better performance than I get out of an old Grizzly import running a 1” band. The motor has no where near the required power. It can’t even do passable work on a tiny wood block.

This is one reason why I want to build my own belt grinder. Generally that is what they are called in the USA. At least when used on metal it is a belt grinder, on wood it is often called a belt sander. This is in the northeast USA I’ve often been confused by people from other parts of the USA.

 

[bazmak]

I found with this one its not the motor power that is insufficient but belt slip
Quite useable at the moment but rubber coated drive roller might improve things
For the price its a nice piece of kit.Perfect for light sanding and drill sharpening etc

Not sure which machine you mean, but my Delta seems to have sufficient power for me. I use it for both wood and metal. I use the belt in the picture for sharpening mower blades.

The machine was manufactured in the early '70s. The original wheels were made of plastic and started breaking apart about 10 years ago. Factory parts are no longer available, but I was lucky to find a guy making replacements and ordered a set. After replacing the wheels the machine works well again.
