The RO 90 was on my long term wish list. That is: I would buy it when I need it. And the need arose a few days ago.
In the basement is a small closet-like space for the circuit breaker box. That space is equipped with a door. But a part of the ceiling came down a little and blocked the door. So I'm about to rectify this by making a new and lower door frame and restore the door to a more appealing outlook. Because of the low ceiling (a little over 6') somebody saw off the bottom part of the door in a sort of butcher-style.
I took the door apart, made a new bottom rail, bought a style-and-rail set of router bits and was ready for sanding the door components. So it was time to order the sander from Bob Marino. A few days later the sander was dropped off at the front porch and 15 minutes later I was sanding.
It was my first experience with a rotary sander so everything was new to me. I started with grid 40 in rotary mode and low suction. The sander was dancing over the wood. With increasing the suction to max, the dancing was much reduced and the old paint and grime was flying of the wood.
I'm now almost finished with the coarse sanding and I'm very pleased with the results. I'm a hater of sanding in general, especially hand sanding, but with this little sander it is almost fun. I will sand with finer grids but I'm still not sure if I will keep the door in its natural state with a little clear finish or I will paint it. I will see when the door parts are a door again.
