: Hi... 1/4" sheet sanders are for flat stuff like furniture, bookcases
: & tables.
: the corners of the sander are rubbing off on the wood where it curves, (It's
: hard on the sander too.) A R/O sander is the only way to power sand... and
: a fairing board is the best way to do the sanding that is "powered by
: Wheaties"

: Dave

What's a fairing board? I like the Wheaties sander better than the noisy one anyway.

I can use the 1/4 sheet sander for something else, like the custom bookcase I am going to build (after I finally finish the kayak, of course!).
