I just picked up a Amp/Itw sander.
I've seen several folks are using it for both metal and wood.
Do you use any release agent on the disk when you sand aluminum to keep it from gumming up the abrasive - or not a problem ?
In the old days toolmakers used bees wax to keep aluminum from gumming up tools( lots of new fangled stuff now).
Does the aluminum residue contaminate the wood joint for gluing ?
The Wheel changes easily, if I had an extra Wheel avalible, Mite I keep one for wood & one for Aluminum ?
Or is this a total non-issue ?
thanks,
