New sander

I coudn't quite see it - seems to be a little toy bottom right of photo?

What is that giant yellow thing with the mettalic dog leash attached?

I had seen something like it last year at our woodworking show, and did
actually want to follow up this year - but no -one had any. I have a
concrete driveway I want to polish up. Can I borrow that yellow monstor?

They are cool.

Holy crap! Spinal Tap would be so proud! You now have an amp that
goes to 11!

I would really be interested for you to post your thoughts after using
it for a while.

In the meantime, I'll call Nigel.

That will be tempting if anybody tell the have a 'sander'..lol.

It just glides like a dream. Really easy to nudge in any way you like.
Now, having said that, I have no idea what it would be like with a
pack of 80 grit on an oak table.
What I really like about these guys, is that they stuck to a standard
5" disk. None of that specialty cut idiocy.

It came in a mild chartreuse. I like yellow better.

Park Lane (countertop) and Church Str ( brass foot rail for a bar I
built.)
I'll be long gone by early afternoon, off to Wyoming for a repair..
(somebody dinged a top)

Red Rooster, eh? I'll try it.

WOW! Bring it over so I can see if it really works. Looks like it needs a
turbine installed on top.

Probably to late but try the Red Rooster if you want something different or
the CharBar downtown. I love the boneless wing and a side. I'm out of town
until the late afternoon, where are the installs?

How hard is it to control?

Yeah.. it's a beast. But with a very gentle streak. No swirls, very easy
to control, dust control is good enough (I'm spoiled by
Festool/Abranet/Fein combo).
It removes an amazing amount of material with an agressive paper like
the Klingspor 240 grit.
I can't wait to refinish a teak kitchen table I have.
240, 320, 400, 600, ultrafine Scotchbrite gives a finish on solid
surface like glass...incredibly flat.
Ohh and sooo quiet. Just the scuffing of the paper and the soft humming
of the Fein Turbo in the back-ground...its hose plugged in
straight..perfect.
And fast! With a 6mm stroke and 4 x 5' pads, it makes short order of
what I've thrown at it so far.
AEG German motor, and great, big fat bearings and a serious
counter-weight set-up. All done very well. You can see some of that here:

Rob is very happy.... can't get over how quiet it is... you have no idea
what a nice change that is.

MUSIC!
