[eat it and beat it!! bug] Lately, for about the last year, I have been seeing advertisements about vacuum powered finishing sanders. They look light-weight and the ads say they are dustless. Although, I imagine, it might be a hassle dragging a vacuum hose around behind the sander all of the time. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has beed sucked in to buying one of these gadgets.(pun) And if so, how does it compare to, say, a makita or any other high quality palm sander? Any other information/tips about this would be appreciated. Oh, by the way, I have a B&D finishing sander with about a 4X6 inch footprint and it dosn't work worth beans, a cabinet scraper works much better. As usual, I will post a summary of the responses back to the net. Thanks, Ralph Durtschi (Still have all my fingers. Knock! Knock! Knock! on wood)
