In Response To: Cheaper Variable Speed ROS, $19, but not cheep *Pic* (John Monfoe)

: I paid $25 for mine but I saw them Two months ago at Menards. WEN. I simply
: don't know how this can be beat for the price. The variable speed is a
: real pleasure to use after using another ROS I have without it. I have
: been through one boat and some other projects with out any problems.
: Another big money saver is to quit using the velcro type sander discs and
: go to the mastic coated discs. And then when they are starting to loose
: their grip just pull off and spray the sander pad and disc with mastic and
: re-atach. Much cheaper and last much longer.

The other thing I like is that the super duty discs are more available for the stick on--like the red discs from Klingspor.

Maybe the ideal thing is to have two--a stick on for tough jobs, and a h&L for those dusty finish sanding jobs.
