Speed-Bloc 330
Speed-Bloc 0330
My curiousity is getting the best of me. Anyone know the difference between the 330 and the 0330 besides about $20?

Maybe the 330's built in the US and the 0330's built in China?

Best,

Michael

Is the 330 a ROS?

I would say it's a fixed orbit since the pad doesn't rotate like round DA sanders. (Not sure if that's a valid statement, however)
I believe they specify it as a 5/64" orbit dia.

I had one of these sanders for many years.
I am very sensitive to vibration and found this sander irritated my nerves and joints much more than the random orbit sanders I now use-Festool.
Also there is no provision for dust removal.Brad Goodman38701.5792476852

Brad--Hang the dust collector hose over your shoulder as Bob Benedetto does in his video.
This does require 4" clothes dryer hose with a "hollow" Folger's coffee can duct taped on the end. (for ballast)
Probably not OSHA approved, huh.
Just kidding here, I'll bet Bob can afford about any kind of dust collector he wants.
