I have one of those Richardson high speed dry polishers. Hands down the most unsafe piece of equipment I own 😂. I’ve had the discs explode and cut me. Need to use a lot of caution and spacial awareness when using it. Wonder how many people have got caught in those things.

Just saying that it’s a machine that you need to use some common sense around. No loose fitting clothes, wear gloves, etc.. does a pretty decent job polishing things up quickly. Those old timers just did things differently. Safety!!?? What’s that? 😂

aGates pretty sure the Nelson should be a 12 inch saw, model 12D and all. I was never injured by a HS sander, but the club shop did keep the bandaids stocked when they had them.

I’m really curious what a 4” drop saw looks like!

I've been wanting one of the Richardson's sanders for a while. I imagine shipping might be a bit much though.
