Received sander in good order at a bargain price.
Sander came with a half used sand paper sleeve & a 1.5” drum. So i tried it out just to see.
Its a heavy and loud tool in use, but surprisingly little vibration is transferred to your hands. You do have to consciously grab & hold this tool. Unlike a saber saw or a router with D-handles or knobs which can easily hang from bent fingers. This makes it easy for the tool to slip out of a careless grasp. all I’m saying is its not a tool to use on autopilot!
Was worried that there would be unused abrasives on the sleeve that couldn’t be utilised . Not the case! The paper’s placement on the drum is adjustable, so it’s possible to use all the available abrasives.
I haven’t attempted to source abrasives or drums yet, so i can’t comment on that aspect or the availability of different grit papers
To sum it up, the tool meets my needs & will ease prep before whatever finishing is applied to my projects.
