I'm piecing together tools I need for a rocking chair build (Hal Taylor plans) I'm going to start and hopefully finish before the baby gets here.
I have a 5" Ridgid ROS and lots of abrasive pads for it.
I'm not sure I need to upgrade but thinking about it. I know when finish sanding endgrain cutting boards it takes forever with my Ridgid and it takes a long time to wind down, I think something is wrong with it. It works though.
I was looking at the 5" festool rotex, Mirka deros, and Surface prep all in 5". Any thinking that a sander like this NOT needed for sculpting a rocking chair? Lots of the sculpting will be done with an angle grinder I know that.
Thanks!
