SS Finishing Block Sander

Post by ERLover »

Just got mine today, instructions and warnings in English and Spanish :confused:
It feels good in the hand, Velcro bottom, so can use old HnL ROS pads on it, but not standard SP since it is not HnL. Also just like the SS HnL disc sander, can round edges ect, not like a hard sanding holder. Will need a soft touch near edges.

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them. :)

You did not 'order' it.

You did not 'pay' for it.

You 'got' it.





Yet you complain? :D

No whining, just an observation :cool:
I got one, maybe 2 possibility how it ended up here, but cant confirm it at this point in time. But it is real thin.

To address the confusion, the finishing sander with 3 sheets was a free thank you given to a small invited list of people who had completed a survey for us.
