Hi everyone! I thought I would post about a very economical 1/4 sheet sander I found at one of the big box stores. I know, I know, I am going to catch some flack about this. I have been building and using power tools my whole life, and I use some of the finest- big name tools and also some of the cheaper tools. I also realize sometimes there is no substitute for quality tools.
That being said; my home that I am remodeling is 85% wood, and all of this Sitka Spruce/ Douglas Fir is plained/belt sanded......EVERY PIECE ......., then 1/4 sheet sanded with 40 grit, 1/4 sheet sanded with 60 grit and then sanded with a 120 grit orbital sander................
So I can abuse tools, I ran my belt sander till the brushes wore out..........
So here I still am running my two 1/4 sheet sanders, the same sanders that I sometimes run for hours. These cheap sanders last, and they sell for $13.99 WOW! :)
Got to go and sand some more! .......I do love this !
