Different kind of sander
The wheel sander consists of ~ 4" long cylinder with bristles (steel/nylon in various grits) extending out from it. It is very useful to clean up rough sawn timbers and in finer grits to raise the grain. Raising the grain can give your pieces a pleasant 'tactile' dimension as well.

Not quite there
Got this to use to rusticize fir doors I made. Had been using an angle grinder to remove softer wood and leave the grain to "weather" and figured there had to be something better. After an hour search I came across this item. Had thought it would be great out of the box but the nylon brush that came with it is good for nothing. After 5 minutes of working a 6"x24" area, it...

Different kind of sander,
By Raising the grain can give your pieces a pleasant 'tactile' dimension as well. If the rough sawn timber is too bristly, this tool can reduce to eliminate the bristles. It is good for removing surface stains, grit & grime prior to finishing. The tool is of Makita heavy-duty journeyman quality. Not a cheap throw-away.

Got this to use to rusticize fir doors I made. Had been using an angle grinder to remove softer wood and leave the grain to "weather" and figured there had to be something better. After an hour search I came across this item. Had thought it would be great out of the box but the nylon brush that came with it is good for nothing. After 5 minutes of working a 6"x24" area, it didnt do a thing. Dont know what that wheel it even for. Now I have to buy the additional wire wheel. Hope that works cause Im not happy about spending $450 plus an additional $100+ for what I thought would work. I will definitely send it back if the attachment doesnt work

makita wheel sander is a work horse. no matter what application you may choose to use this wheel sander. I use it in woodworking to sculpt timbers.The wheel sander raises the grain of the wood. taking away the softer pulp wood between the grain.Givind you a weatherd or rustic look to your wood or timbers. its a pricy tool but has many uses. will also strip paint rust just about remove any thing on any surfaced. amazon and there supliers were very prompt with delivery very happy.
