I'm like a kid on Christmas morn! A bunch of toys I ordered arrived. I got the clamp lifters and stops for the Fletcher and the ITW disk sander is here!
The clamp lifters are a neat addition to the mat cutter. Pull up on the bar and the clamp comes up and stays up. Push down and it latches down. So much easier loading large sheets of cardboard or foamcore in the machine since I don't have to hold the bar up or swing it all the way open.
I doubted the stops would make much difference. Seemed like a bunch of extra adjustments to make.
Boy was I wrong! I can complete a double mat in a couple minutes now and the corners are nice and staight.
The sander seems to work fine. I really need to try some wide molding to see the difference. The manual has incorrect instructions on how to fine tune the angle, but I figured it out.
The packing was horrible. It looked like an eBay hack job. They tossed broken styrofoam in the box around it to ship.
It was drop shipped direct from ITW. Well, it is heavy cast iron and made it okay.
Well, that it. I'm going to go play with my toys!
