Ahh yes, another reason in favor of slo-speed sanding...

Yeah, right. And which is slow? The sander or the sandee?

In my case, both are one and the same, and slow by all accounts.

150F is pretty hot to the touch - if during sanding I feel that kind of
heat, I slow down the rpms. Lightening the touch isn't much of an option
as I don't press much at all - just enough to keep the san'paper in
contact and working.


Ok, Owen, I'm convinced. Now take your message to these folks.

Or any of the other makers of orbital, random orbital, or other sanders
making 10-25 THOUSAND orbits per minute.

Or you could try sanding with minimal pressure, then put the push in and
burn the hooks off your velcro....
