How to Easily Sand Custom Moldings
George VondriskaDescription
Making Molding
Making molding on a Woodmaster is a great way to make some extra cash. Custom molding can be a great cottage industry. You can also make molding for your own projects, using any specie of wood you want to use. It’s great to not be limited to the types of wood that commercial suppliers work with.
The Problem
Running wood past a molding head is a straight-forward process. And it’s fun to do. The problem with it is the chatter that typically results, leaving unsightly marks in the face of the molding. These marks REALLY show up under finish.
The Solution
I use flutter sanders all the time on irregular surfaces, and a flutter sander is Chatternator’s solution to the problem of sanding molding. It easily and quickly puts a very nice sanded finish on molding. This is going to save you boat loads of time compared to hand sanding.

Interesting but not particularly useful for the average shop, including mine.
Want to know how to make mounding
The machine's website indicates that it is specifically for the Woodmaster. My molder isn't, so it doesn't appear particularly useful for my shop.
