Must be my year for tool purchases ":^)
My B&D quarter sheet pad sander died. This is the second one I've used up, and I don't think either of them had 5 hours of actual sanding time on them.
I'm considering moving up to a random orbit, probably either a DeWalt or a Porter-Cable.
One feller on another board complained of his random-orbit leaving more sanding marks than a pad sander. It was my understanding that the whole point of random orbit was to REDUCE sanding marks. Should I just get a better grade of quarter-sheet?
Any comments on the subject of sanding marks, as well as brands and types of sanders would be appreciated.
