    Do you folks prefer a random orbital sander or a finish sander? I have a single speed random orbital but I don't own a finish sander. I'm toying with buying one though. I'd like to hear the general consensus here. I used to own both but when we sold everything, they went away. R

    Ver nice stuff Kevin.

    Mine is a type 1 also. It all depends on usage. I took mine all apart and found that all it needed was cleaning and greasing. I did find that the main drive link was coming loose though and that was causing the noise/vibration that I was looking for. But, with all that said, $250 max. for a used Dewalt in my book. There are literally thousands of them out there for sale at any given time I'll bet. R

    Very nice stuff here. I love them all. Thanks for showing us.

    Too much money. No stand, no light, travel to and from to pick it up. You could go out and buy a brand new one for less. Just my opinion here. I bought mine off of C/L with stand and light for $250 and if I wanted to haggle, I probably could have done better. Be patient. Your deal is coming. R

    Wow, I did a Google search for these books and it's like they never got printed. There are ISBN numbers but absolutely nothing else comes up. They both showed up on Amazon but not available. The number two book didn't even have a picture. It would be interesting to know how many copies of each were ever printed. Sorry, I can't help you. R

    Ok, it's starting to get a bit "testy" here. Not sure where we veered off the correct track. If I am wrong, I humbly apologize. From what I could see on their website, it showed one mandrel, one pack of sandpaper strips and a bunch of spacers. I didn't see any written description of what is included. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong site. Can one of you folks who feel this is a good deal please post a link to the site that you patronized. I tried going to Klingspor and it was a lesson in frustration trying to find the "mops" so I gave up. The other site that was listed early on here is where I saw the picture and pricing. Maybe, I should have been more careful in opening this topic in the first place. I sure didn't want to get anybody upset. Sorry. R

    I didn't find that description. If you are correct, then yes, not a bad deal. R

    I couldn't get in close enough to see much. Maybe a better pic would help.
  10. OCtoolguy
    Right frame of mind! Ha Ha!
  11. OCtoolguy
    I'm not sure what all is included but I think besides the mandrel and the sandpaper, they are including spacers for between the strips. Sort of like a package of hose washers might do. All in all, a giant rip off. R

    I don't have one of their catalogs. I just followed the link that was posted at the top of this post. Not sure who posted it but when I went there I saw that price. I'll check out Klingspor's site. Thanks. This is the link I followed: Woodworkingshop.com and here is a pick of what I was talking about. R

    I have not found anything but the 6 inch one. Where did you find it? R
  14. OCtoolguy
    I just ran across this one. Anybody ever tried one? They come in 3 different grits and are very reasonably priced. All 3 from Amazon for about $26.
  15. OCtoolguy
    I can certainly see why it becomes a hassle to make your own but I still feel that $75 is a bit much for that first one. I guess they want to put some money in their pocket at least once. I'll have to give some thought as to how I can beat that price. There has to be a way. I still have my wholesale resale number so maybe I can buy wholesale. Who knows? Ray
  16. OCtoolguy
    Thank you all for all your input. I think I have enough info now to make my decision. I'll probably end up at H/F and Amazon. R
  17. OCtoolguy
    Teflon?
  18. OCtoolguy
    Aluminum would be my first guess. Just make sure you lubricate the blades so that the aluminum doesn't stick to them R

    Jay, I have no idea if that price is the best but I followed the link to them and the refills are in the $30 range but the starter kit is the posted price. I thought that was outrageous. If I decide to buy that set of buffs, I'll let you know how it works out. R
  20. OCtoolguy
    Have any of you ever tried these. I'm thinking about ordering a set but thought I'd ask first.
  21. OCtoolguy
    I just looked at this website and I see they get $72.95 for a started kit. I think I'll be making my own. That's a hefty price for an arbor and some sand paper. R
  22. OCtoolguy
    Great idea. Thanks.
  23. OCtoolguy
    I am thinking about doing just that. I already have an arbor but I'm trying to figure out how much it will cost me to buy a roll of emery cloth and do all the cutting. Sometimes, it's just not worth it. Thanks. R
  24. OCtoolguy
    I looked up the wrong number. But what has been said is correct. Old saw, too much money. Wait for better.
  25. OCtoolguy
    I'm curious about sanding mops. I keep seeing some of you folks referring to them. I did go out looking but only really found one source and size. Is that all there is? I was hoping to find something a bit smaller that what I'm seeing. Is $30 the going price? Any info appreciated. Ray
