More Product Details

Sands wood up to 1/2 inch thick and 5 inches wide

The MicroLux® Drum Thickness Sander is designed for model makers and serious hobbyists who need wood in sizes not available commercially. The rotating drum inside the housing sands wood sheet and strip to the desired size with a precision that will satisfy the most-demanding model builder. And the crafter can even manufacture his own lumber from resawn boards, or from wood sawn from small logs and other stock.

I needed about ten sheets of scribed sheetwood reduced from 1/16 to 1/32 thick. The drum thickness sander was a trooper and buzzed through them in a few minutes. I used a micrometer and the variation between boards and along each board was less than 0.003 inch. Looking around my shop, I said, 'There isn't another tool here that could do that. Bravo!'

Drum Sander surprise Provides nice finish.

This machine weighs in at 34#. I work mostly in mahogany wood and I cut my own veneer on a large bandsaw. I needed to remove all the teeth marks on the cut material. This unassuming little guy "egger beaver" did a great job. The material I cut is in different widths to fit my needs. I build Dumas mahogany type boats currently a Dauntless boat. This machine will fit my needs. It does not seem to slow down during the sanding process it does however create a whole lot of dust. which is a good thing, the finish is out standing. SO if you are doing veneer work this is the machine for you. The motor was turning the wrong way I called Micromark service tech he was on the mark for the repair over the phone... repair... Painless.

Great addition to model shop

The sander is very well preserved for storage and shipping. You will have to disassemble and thoroughly clean the machine.
The steel roller was already installed and had scored the table. Micro-Mark Customer Service immediately sent me a replacement table. They stand behind their products and have wonderful service.
When reassembling the sander, make sure to realign the table with the sanding drum as explained in the Maintenance section of the instructions.
I applied a thin coat of paste wax to the table to provide a smooth surface for the wood to slide on.
Even though the sander does not auto-feed the wood, it only took me two passes to get the feel for the correct speed to feed the wood.
I am very surprised at the overall hearty construction and ease of operation. This is a great addition to my model shop.

Great tool!

Good quality foam clay

Unlike any air dry clay I've used .
Very easy to manipulate , doesn't stick to your fingers .
Can be made into paper thin sheets that hold their shape .

Thick sections will take well over 24 hours to dry out ; high water weight when fresh .
Evaporation slows down considerably once the outer " crust " dries on thick pieces .

After 24 hours @ 78 degrees and about 60% humidity , the 3.1 gram sample I experimented with weighs 1.2 grams .
.. and after 48 hrs weighs just 1/2 gram ,, and I don't think it's fully dry yet .

Definitely worth the price .
Very versatile .

My only complaint is the bag it comes in .
It is a zipper lock bag but you need to remove a fair amount of the product before you'll be able to engage the zipper .
It's stuffed full when new .
I fit the bag into a plastic container ( Folgers coffee 43.5oz can ) with an inch of water at the bottom to ensure it doesn't dry out until I use enough to be able to close the bag .
Most likely keep it in that can regardless , just to be safe .

Quality miniature model paint

This stuff is comparable to Vallejo paints which everyone in the hobby already knows are tried and true. I honestly would not be able to tell the difference between the 2 brands looking at a finished model or trying to paint with it. The price is about the same but this includes slightly bigger bottles with a better design on the lid and seem to come with a plastic mixer ball already inside but its hard to tell for sure. This paint set also includes a paint thinner and cleaner for airbrushing. Its really hard to beat the price and value of this paint set for anyone wanting to have a quality paint job on something. I would say its near impossible.
