Is A Rotary Sander Really Needed? Spoiler: YES

About 8 months ago I bought the Mirka DEROS RS 600 (NOT SPONSORED) on a bit of a whim - I was offered a good deal and it looked interesting. But I didn't expect to be reaching for it as often as I am! Here's why I think it's a fantastic addition to my workshop.

Planer EXTRACTION HACK + Extraction Upgrades

I installed a new 2hp HVLP extractor recently but the results for clearing chips at the planer thicknesser were very disappointing! In this video I run a few experiments to improve things significantly! Also I compare if ducting an extractor to outside really makes a difference to airflow! And I explain how further changes could affect performance of the system.
