: Hey Gang,
: I bought a larger 6" ROS, a two-hander, from Home Despot's line of
: Ridgid tools. The sander appears to be a Metabo (German-made, high
: quality) dressed in orange and black. However, the brake system for the
: pad is completely non-functional.

Maybe Metabo sells their seconds to Ridgid?

:"What's yer favorite big ol' ROS?"

How are the Fein sanders that Klingspor sells? A bargain at $499.95!

If you do need a bunch of paper and want to share shipping on a Klingspor order, let me know...I'm about out of both 5" H&L and PSA. I'm also going to put in an order to either Hamilton Marine or Cyber-marine.com for some Beckson hatches if you need anything special from either of them. They're generally the cheapest two online chandleries I've found.

Pray for wind Sunday!!
