I bought an Airvantage 5" electric sander that's essentially a Mirka Ceros clone. I upgraded from a Ridgid 5" as I'm planning a Hal Taylor rocking chair build. The removable sanding pad is a nice feature and small size is nice. My concerns are below:
1. RPMs of the airvantage sander are 4k,7k,10k. It's less than my ridgid which goes up to 12k and honestly I can't tell if it's doing a better job. Anyone experience this with a mirka ceros or similar sander?
2. The holes don't line up to my current discs and I bought some abranet discs. I drilled a few holes in the pad and wondering if drilling more 1/4" holes will be a good idea, instead of throwing down $18 for this pad below. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S8DC83T/?coliid=I134IMC2NIA14F&colid=ZGG8XPHA6IBS&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
