: O.K., now.... all kiddin' aside, I'm not sure that sander was such a good
: " gift ". As it turns out, they sent along a couple of
: rubberized seal/bushings that goe between the sander body and oscillating
: pad and a warning that it needs to be changed once in a while as it will
: wear out. ??? Seems like they found a flaw in their merchandise and now
: are unloading them on folks as a gift in order to get us to purchase their
: " last years Model " planer. New Models are on the floor now.

Naw! I got those doodads with mine too. I've never replaced the originals, but have done a lot of sanding. Guess I probably should, but who knows where they are now :-) Say Rehd, why don't you just send up the little seal thingys and we'll call it even!
