Tool recommendation for your shop

[TrapperJ]

Reshaping my new sill guards made me think to share info about a tool that I use in my garage a lot.I purchased a 12" disk sander from Harbor Freight a couple of years ago. It has saved me hours of hand work on woodwork and metalwork. I'm always improving or making parts for my motorcycle, car, or gun projects. Unfortunately I haven't had the time or opportunity to take a machinist course. Most of my work is hand filling and drill press fabrication. For you guys in a similar situation I recommend this tool

My dad always swore by disk sanders too, he said he couldn't do half the projects he did without it.

Why did you have to reshape the sill guards? I was just going to buy a set

I only increased the radius of the top outer corner. HyperViper posted a picture of how he did his and I liked the look and copied it. Easy to do with a file and sand paper. Just a minor visual change. Get them, you'll be happy you did. BTW, most people don't touch them and just mount them as is.
