The exact model of this sander is Duplex LS 130 EQ.
I am refinishing my cedar garage door and want to remove the stain that I applied nine years ago. The challenge is the complex recessed groove that is present around each of the 30 panels in the door. None of my electric sanders fit into this grove.
Festool sells a “make it yourself” kit for their linear sander to allow one to manufacture their own profile. So, I thought that I would give it a whirl. The steps are shown in the pictures attached to this post as well as the next one.
In this post:
(1) attach velcro with sticky backing to molding
(2) sanding mould attached to sander
(3) 60 grit paper attached to Velcro
(4) grinding the profile into the mould
-there is another step not shown here where one uses 120 grit paper in order to “fine tune” the profile.
(5) mould with the correct profile
