The sander will fall over if the vac hose is attached. This product works well if you are using a sander by itself, but it is too small if you attach your sander to a vac for dustless sanding. I never use mine anymore.
He has been wanting one for a long time now he dont have to change sand paper as much just clean it. I ordered this for my husband as a christmas present and he is very impressed. Sand paper has a longer life.Thank you.
Turn off the sander and set it on the pad and you have gained a minute or so that otherwise you would be holding the sander for what seems forever while it winds down. It works great. This little device works as advertised. This little device prevents scratches or falls on other surfaces and presents an easy way to hold a sander close by where it is needed.
You have to set the sander down in it perfectly or it spins off the bench. First time my sander hit the floor I was a little more than upset.
Can't recommend this one. As for the cleaning aspect, with the new stearite disks you can get, here on Amazon and from suppliers like Klingspor, you are hard pressed to ever load em up anyway.
The whole mech is too light. If you just really have to have one, let me know, I'll send ya mine for the cost of postage.
Can't remember why I thought I needed this sander sitter. If using a variable speed on highest setting the whole thing will "walk" off the bench if you leave it running more than a few seconds.
It's another one of those "good ideas" that just doesn't transfer from concept to actual use very well.
This thingamajiggie probably cut down the time needed by half. So, I'd give it a five. No kidding.If time is money, this investment started making profits for me the first day I owned it. I make a lot of small stuff and I continually need to stop and rotate the part in the vise. So, it only gets 4 stars.UPDATE: I paid $24 for mine.
After following the directions, it works like a charm. 4 spindles x 4 rows x 2 sides x 4 sides per spindle = a helluva lot of time waiting for the sander to wind down. Really. I see that these are now selling for about $15. It seems odd that you need to 'break in' this simple device but you need to.
I was doing these small spindles for a bookcase. Still, it seems awfully expensive for what it is.
