Sanding a sculpted seat

[rizzoa13]

Scott, when you use the interface pads stacked like that it seems you have it on Rotex mode. That doesn't sand unevenly on the top and bottom points where the pad is touching first? I'd think putting it on the delta setting would be safer but I haven't tried it so let us know your opinion!

No, delta mode just vibrates with little effect through the interface pads.

Rotex is perfect. Keep in mind, the eccentric motion is very much softened by the stacked pads. In the picture I posted, the pads conform well into the crown. I was sanding nail filler in that picture.

Grit, as always comes into play.

Do you get good dust extraction with the stacked interface pads? I'd usually hand sand that kind of profe and hold the vac underneath it with the other hand but that gets tiring.

This thread is timely as I am trying to sand a handrail.  I bough two interface pads today for my new RO90 and will see how the stacked pads workout.  I may try a single pad and see how that goes before I stack the two.

Thanks for the tips!
