Is there such a thing available for retail?
My main problem is attempting to sand down pine molding in a 100 year old house. I'd like to find a solution that does this as efficiently as possible, perhaps with a powered tool.
So this is what I'm seeing available:
1) Festool LS 140, which has a custom molding kit. I don't want to get into a discussion about Festool, for me $500+ seems a bit high. YMMV
2) Hand profile sanding. Either the custom profiles available from Woodcraft or else something shop made. Either way I'm looking at hand sanding a house's worth of trim which isn't appealing, but at least is possible.
3) Used Porter Cable profile sander on Ebay. There seem to be a lot of these, but no other company seems to make them now, other than festool, I don't know why. I generally don't like to buy cheap used power tools, since they're often in bad shape, particularly over the internet.
Right now I'm leaning towards option 3 as the best of a set of bad choices. Does anybody have experience with the Porter Cable sander? Is there a reason why there are few options?
