Wow, sometimes it doesn't take a lot to impress me. Today, I got way more than I paid for in this tool. After peeling the tape and scraping laboriously all the duco, tape residue and CA, I grabbed my new 7336 Porter Cable ROS. In ten minutes with a 150 grit disc, it didn't look like the same guitar. Wow. When the guitar goes from ugly duckling to nearly ready for the spray booth that's a great transition.
Then, just for fun, I grabbed my 220 grit laden Porter Cable 330 SpeedBlock sander, oh my goodness, that sucker with the sandpaper curved up into the holder, it sanded the inside curves to "close". A little more work to do there. And Tim, I'm going to have to get out my magnifying glass, but I don't see any little circles buddy.
The speedblock has an OPM of 12,000. I've owned it since using a carpenter's building my house, 1978. Great tool.
Mario, you are right, this thing is a hoss. But the rascal get's it's job done and jumps back under the bench. I noticed that the lumber yard had ten to one more five inch papers than six inch. And I tried a local body shop their six inch were baby blue and about sixty cents a disc. Amazon has Mirka 6 inch for 30 cents.
Okay, here is a pic of my son's Grand A! with it's 247 year old cedar top. I counted the grain lines. The back is a fourpiece three piece back. Titebound all the way.....
I'm on the hunt for some local Osage orange and may have to do this if I can only find small stuff.
