What do we like in 1/4 sheet sanders?

I DAGS'd it... same old same old.

Are we still liking the SpeedBloc? Anything else?

It needs to be square. I don't really want to lay out the capital for a
MultiMaster or other such wonderful, expensive gear.

I have both - and I'm liking my SpeedBloc more every time I use it
(and mine is now more than a quarter century young). The MultiMaster
is handy about three or four times a year for me. I /could/ live
without it; but for those jobs that need it, I think anything else
would be a distant second best.

For small scale production work, I think you'd do well to get the
SpeedBloc and (since you've predicted business growth) its half-sheet
big brother when the time seems right.

RE: Subject

Personally, I don't like any of them.

If I need to get into corners, that's why Fein invented the detail
sander, but it has a problem.

Does so many things so well, it tough to keep it handy for sanding.

Yes, we, I still like it. I bought a new one to replace the one that I
bought in 1989. And yes I still prefer the PSA paper to go with it.
Rockler had the best pricing 4 weeks ago.

They make 2 different ones. I wonder what that's all about.
One has dust collection and is about half the price of a SpeedBloc...I
can see where this is going.... I think...
