Re: Best sander to Buy ?
good advice tom......
in the books, a random is advised.
good thread to dig up 386.....
====================================================================================================================
there are two schools of thought on this one......(besides air)
buy it cheap with a warranty.
and buy it expencive with warranty.
a good dewalt or porter cable, will be $100....4.5 inch angle grinder.....(the boat restorers best friend with a 24 grit flapper)
if you buy the $20 dollar ones, you can just keep returning them, thru the time it takes you to finish the project. they will uasually crap out, as glass dust is a killer on tools.
that is a $20 bucker goin up in smoke. it was replaced for free, so the use has only cost me 20 dollars, the replacment is still working.
i also bought a dewalt. trigger op with a switch, but i like it....it has not argued with me yet, but i know its getting tired. its still on warranty, but if it lives after its year, it will be ready for the recycle bin.....
$100 gone, but good value from it.
so the choice is yours, if ya want the caddilac....air.
the chevy, dewalt or porter cable, or other work horse brands.
the vw.....canadian tire or harbour freight
cheers
