I have always looked at the round disk ROS sander as one to remove

control with direction. About the only time I will finish sand with
a ROS is when sanding large non-enclosed panels, cabinet sides or
tops. ROS's can't get into inside corners and are tough to hold flat
on the edge surface of a face frame, doors, drawers, anything narrow..


What do you use for a finish sander Leon?



For probably 25 years I used these. These would raise a cloud of dust
that you would not believe.

After initially buying a Festool CT22 vac with the Domino, I eventually
added the Rotex sander and replaced the above sander with this.

As a side note here, unless I do some hand sanding I rarely will wipe
down or blow off a sanded surface before applying a finish. It works
that well at dust control.
