Just another note here. I believe it to be imperative that the sander
be hooked up to a shop vac of some sort. You want the melted glue to be
removed as it is cut. I was using TBIII and I also followed up with the
same paper for a few seconds in normal ROS mode to remove visible
scratches from the aggressive mode.
