OK, so now I've got my RO150 and ETS-150/3 so that covers most of the general sanding needs leaving me with hand sanding corners and along edges.
I'm looking to rectify that because I am lazy ;D
So it looks like I have a few options RTS-400, DTS-400, LS-130, DX-93, RS 2 E or RO-90DX. I'm looking for finish sanding, say 150 grit on up, sometimes tight corners inside cabinets or frame and panel doors.
Here's what I am thinking:
Realistically and cost effectively I think I am at the old DTS or RTS question but I am sort of leaning towards the RTS for the smaller size and corner capability. I'm afraid that the DTS pad, without any straight sides to it, may not work as well and might actually give me problems with the tip wearing faster and over sanding areas outside the spots I am trying to sand. However I have limited delta pad sander time, just an old mouse sander that I don't use much because I don't like it, too aggressive for fine sanding and ROS works better for heavy removal.
Any experience with the DTS or RTS (or any of the others if you think there's a better fit...) that might help? Good and bad experiences are both helpful.
Thanks,
-Jim

Here's what I am thinking:
- DX-93 seems very small and specialized like for sanding between chair rails so I don't think that's where I want to be.
- RS 2 E half sheet sander is too large for what I need at the moment
- LS-130 linear motion seems good for some stuff and has lots of options but I'm concerned about scratch patterns
- RO-90DX is a cool sander but somehow I think if I had it 90% of the time I'd have the delta head on it and it is really expensive for that
- DTS-400 Looks good for corners and is an option but I've never been a fan of the ironing pad shaped sanders
- RTS-400 slightly off 1/4 sheet sander size but light and can get in tight 90 degree corners, it's an option
