Well, I was thinking the same thing after those initial tests, so I decided to run a side by side comparison on the same face of yet another board.The F2 QuickWood Sander is made for Cup Brush heads where you have a spinning rotation to make edges even around your cabinet door. There are a fair number of reviews on the site that paint the machine as a disappointing piece of garbage, and that the wire wheel in particular was ineffective and quickly degraded (which is why I initially held off getting that wheel when I first purchased the machine). A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. The Alpha-Brush Victory is the perfect machine for sanding linear profiles made of wood, metal, plastic or composites. Vastly different finishes can be achieved by changing the brush head, or more finite changes can be achieved by changing the speed of the conveyor, the RPM of the brush head, or the depth of bristle penetration.

This ideal for sanding and denibbing all profiles including - architrave, skirting and flooring products for medium to large scale production. The tactile differences between the nylon and wire brushed surfaces aren't really picked up by the camera, but when you run your hand over the board the wire brushed sections are definitely not as smooth. After peeling and just before scribing and setting, the logs were cleaned and shaped with a Makita curve base planer which worked great and produced a very nice "draw knife" appearance.I have been working on a log cabin for several years and next spring I will be disassembling and hauling to its foundation.

I actually started to do the first beam without a dust mask, but after a couple of minutes my lungs started to feel funky, and then I started to imagine the kind of stuff these beams had accumulated in their crevices over the years -- like maybe they were pulled from a demo of a building that had never gone through asbestos abatement, etc. I used the standard 100 grit nylon brush to clean reclaimed boards and it did a great job of removing the dirt. However, traditional sanders can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially when working with intricate designs or hard-to-reach areas.

There are many variations of brush heads within those categories, resulting in dozens of brush head options. The technology to use those devices is much more complex (read: expensive), but you get what you pay for.
