So I took a chance and tried it out. Another company, Proxxon, makes a product that is similar to this one, but that one needs an extra power source (transformer), which makes the price more in line with this one.
There were two main reasons I chose this one instead of the Proxxon. A few years ago, I bought one of Proxxon’s small “chainsaw” carvers and was very disappointed with the quality. It was easy for small plastic pieces to fall off, and the switch was positioned so that my hand would accidentally turn the switch off while carving. People who used the Proxxon sander said that they had to send it back one or even two times before they could get a one that worked.
So, I was really hoping that this sander would move in and out instead of moving side to side. But it moves side to side. Helpful, but not as much as moving in and out. A carving tool would have worked if the sander had moved in and out.
Still, even though it won’t be my main sanding tool, there are times when this comes in handy. Current project: carving a “cage.” This has helped sand the grid of bars that make up the “cage. In and out motion would be better for this project, but that’s not the only way to do it. Side to side does not make a sharp corner.
Warms up a little after an hour or so, but not too much. It’s not painful at all. There is a good chance that I will need to take a break at that point. Cutting the shapes out of the adhesive-backed rounds meant for disc sanders was how I made my own coarse paper. These are the only attachments that I find useful. I might bend or extend the straight ones to make them more useful.
I don’t think the little machine is noisy at all. It sounds like a pair of barber shears. Hope it lasts for a long time. We’ll find out.
