I do agree with you on that Reed, also less heat checks and my velcro
and sanding disks last longer, I have an cheap B&D one speed 1500rpm
drill and also a Milwaukee, use the Milwaukee only if I can't do the
job with the B&D, it's loud and squeaks a lot and than gets the oil,
it's still running, I'm looking for another cheap one, as this one is
not going to last much longer I'm afraid.
Have fun and take care

If you can find a place that makes wet/dry diving suits, they will usually
sell neoprene remanents and neoprene makes a great backing for velcro and
sticks well with a contact adhesive.

Not a bad suggestion, but I live about as far away from an ocean as

If you check out Vinces site, he talks about sanding, and it got me
thinking. I have the slow speed Milwaukee/Sioux drills which go at
about 1200 rpm. He said that you should be sanding around 600 rpm. I
tried it, and it works just as well as the higher speeds: you get the
same amount of stock removal in the same amount of time, and the heat
is greatly reduced.

anyone can. Probably not a lot of diving suits around, though I
confess I've never really looked!

But I bet you live near a computer store. I have a foam wrist pad that
sits in front of the keyboard that's about an inch or so thick and 3"
wide. I've made several sanding disks with it and still have plenty
left over for more. Just a couple bucks...
