i am makeing a board but i need a beter shaping tool to shape faster. Ive used a belt sander and that worked but the sand paper goes real fast.
Um…
Are you JUST using a belt sander?
Check the archives man, or look at ANY shaping video or check the foamez web site.
A surform is the only thing you really need to do a good board. Some people only use planers, although I’ve done all of mine with a combination of the two.
Using only a belt sander to shape a board is kind of mind boggling. Maybe its because I’m not as experienced as some of the guys around here.
however, there is plenty of equipment you can use to make shaping a lot more efficient and easy.
