Why? You two meet in the middle of the street every morning for the daily tool swap anyway. Has Leon been holding out on you lately? Now I'm wondering what other nifty tools he's been hoarding in his workshop? I won't be lending this one out: http://www.woodessence.com/Mirka-CER...r-P186C59.aspx Interesting. When I first saw the picture I thought it operated similar to a Dremel or a Foredom with a cable and remote motor. The Mirka has mass and ergonomics that are similar to the pneumatic Dynabrade sanders, and I can attest to that being a very good thing: http://www.abrasivesupply.com/Dynabr...ers_ s/61.htm I really like the Dynabrades, but I'd be interested to see how the Mirka compares. One thing I don't like about the Mirka is that you only have a single (3/16") orbital pattern to choose from; Dynabrade offers 3/32", 3/16", and 3/8" models. I use 3/32" Dynabrades extensively when making my rocking chairs, and I do NOT like the models with the 3/16" orbital pattern; they can "bang" up against perpendicular surfaces rather violently. Nor does Mirka make a 3-1/2" model, which is a heavenly little machine to use. I'd imagine that the Mirka would be cheaper to operate, because the Dynabrades gobble up quite a bit of air and require a pretty hefty (and noisy!) air compressor. -- Free bad advice available here.
