I'm considering getting a benchtop disc sander to help sand segments smooth for gluing, and also to get them square so they all fit together tightly. Do any of you use a benchtop disc sander or some other sanding machine? Without the benefit of having different machines in front of me to see how accurate they are or how tight their tolerances are, which machine would you recommend or what is your opinion of the machine you have?
How do those of you who do segmenting prepare the segments for gluing? Power sanding or hand sanding? It's going to be labor intensive either way, but if there's no advantage to using a machine over sanding by hand, I'd just as soon not spend the money. I'm using a bandsaw to cut my segments. Maybe a different bandsaw blade? I'm open to suggestions.
