I picked up one of these 2 weeks ago, and got around to useing it the past couple of days on a couple of projects I have going, and I have to say this is a great tool, it got my sanding time WAY down as compared to doing it by hand as I have been on the outside of my turnings, I even used this on an entire bowl I am doing...just need to put the finish on it and then its done. I cant even tell you how much difference there is in sanding I was completely impressed with this thing. It only came with a few sanding disks and I grabbed just a couple of extra packs while I was there to get me going, but plan on ordering some good ones from Vince soon. I dont have the extra money to buy a good right angle drill right now, so this was a nice compromise until I can get the funds up for one.
Now for a question, does anyone here have the Sorby "Micro" SandMaster? I have a couple of pieces with very narrow openings and there is no way the regular one will get in to sand, and I cant get my fingers in far enough to do it, does anyone here know if the Micro will go through and work in an area "under" "1 1/4 inches?
If not, or if you know of some tricks that would help me sand through such a small opening and to a depth of "5-6 inches please let me know what they are, I just cant bring myself to call it good and leave it like it is you know. Thanks, Tim
