new mirka ROS to compete with Festool
Too rich for my blood but some of you pros might find this interesting: http://www.mirkadustfreesanding.co.uk/ http://blogs.popularwoodworking.com/...om+Heaven.aspx It's a palm sander (5" and 6") from Mirka that is supposed to feel more like an air sander. It uses a 22V brushless motor with a separate (quite large) power supply box. The handheld part for the 6" sander weighs just over 2 pounds and is very compact. The 6" sander is available with two different orbit sizes. Looks like it's currently priced between the Festool ETS 150 and the Rotex 150. Chris |

I have a 6" bosch something that will sand through the part and the table if you aren't careful but it is unwieldy and not at all comfortable to use. More like a grinder really. Sometimes I guy just needs to sand like that so it might be nice to have a better feel. |

Chris Thanks for posting this, Mirka is a Finnish company and I didn't know they produced electric sanders too. Their sanding papers are very good, IMHO. (Btw. Mirka is a Finnish translation of hebrew Miriam [or Mirjam, not sure or translitteration]). seismo malm |
