I'd like to throw in a plug for the Makita Finish sander. This is the small orbital model that uses a quarter sheet of sandpaper. I just got done using one to sand some mahogany shelves, and it is the neatest thing since sliced bread. It does fast clean work, doesn't use up the sandpaper very quickly and is MUCH easier on the muscles. Back when it first came out i was kinda suspicious that it wouldn't really do a good enough job. I thought it would leave swirl marks. Well, i was wrong. If you do a lot of sanding, you will be happy that you got one. They seem to run around $45 on sale, and it is money well spent. chris Chris Kostanick hao!ico!chris ihnp4!vortex!ism780!ico!chris "Any person that works in wood can't be all bad"

I recieved one for Christmas this year and am very pleased with its performance. It is a very useful addition to my shop. -- Rick Braman FutureNet Corp. a division of Data I/O Corp.
