I have the foredom.  Had it for years.  The belt, reversible motor, =
speed control and all.  Haven't used it much.  The problem is that the =
belt slips off when reversing.  That is guaranteed by the design.  A =
belt will slip to the low side of a pulley and ride to the high side =
when turning.  The pulleys need to be crowned.  Even a six inch belt =
sander is crowned in the center of the roller.  I was going to modify =
mine but I now use the turkey slicer.  I've learned how to use that =
effectively.  By handling the body I can favor either side or the strike =
point.  The body needs to be rotated and pushed side to side to clear =
the fuzz or it loads the paper and clogs.  I do use the paddle for =
finishing and more so in the treble.  Works for me.

Anybody want to buy a foredom hardly used?

    Hi Dale,
    The advantage with the Fordom is that the motor can be reversed =
eliminating most gouges?
