Was visiting my brother a year ago and he asked me to refinish a tabletop. All my stuff was 500 miles away so off to the store I went. Came home with a second ROS, this one variable speed.

That project went well but the big bonus has been in my shop. I now keep 60 grit on the older sander and 320 on the variable speed one. The convenience is amazing!

My method includes sanding at most steps in a project, starting with milling. I now grab the 320 sander to see what it will not remove, switch to coarse then back to fine. My work is faster, more fun and better.
