This has nothing to do with mineimator, but I'm very excited! I didn't realize that there are affordable options for belt sanders available! I've been working in a foundry for over a year now, and I've often thought about how useful one of the Burr Kings we have there would be, but those things are $1,000-$3,000 at least. I was looking at dremels, and decided to look up belt sanders too. I found some less heavy-duty ones for $80-$130, so now I'm ecstatic! I make puppets, and I'm wanting to branch into making marionettes, so it'll be great! I don't need an industrial-grade sander, either, so the lower power won't be an issue. I'm really wanting to start making molds and castings too, soon; going to make things like puppet hands and maybe some miniatures.

The whole process of making molds/cores is super interesting, by the way. I work primarily in shakeout, but I've done some time on the machines too. We actually are getting into 3-D printing molds and cores with sand now, though that's primarily for testing out new part designs or for limited runs that we won't be doing all the time and don't need to spend thousands of dollars on tooling for them.
