Hi HFD. I like the sound of a tc grit. Should get a really good grip of the timber.
It reminds me of those abrasive metal discs that seemed to have "weld spatter"(if that's the right term) all over them. Designed to fit into a power drill and give a long lasting coarse sanding disc.
Hi Martin.
Thanks for the offer of the book, and I'll bear it in mind should I opt for that method. I've seen just that sort of approach on a web page somewhere when I was first researching the options, and it confirms that at least the idea has legs.
I must pay a visit to my local agricultural engineer(blacksmith). I've seen conveyor systems in his yard.
Regards
John
