0 Adrian 155 Report post Posted July 28, 2010 If there is a big enough space between them, i'll use my mouse sander. If not, elbow grease, and a pad sander, or even worse, a strip of sandpaper shoeshine style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 RPetry 564 Report post Posted July 28, 2010 Joe, We use a Makita 9227C with black 3M pads for wood. These pads can be purchased from ACR Products or online from: DeckGuide Pro Center © 2009 - G&K Distributors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Adrian 155 Report post Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Rick, that looks like it would fit pretty good in between the post'. A real time saver I bet. Would the pads fit on an orbital auto buffer? Edited July 28, 2010 by Adrian Potter still scares me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 RPetry 564 Report post Posted July 28, 2010 Adrian, AFAIK, that is what the Makita 9227C was designed for, auto body work. The 3M pads have a hole in the middle that go through the threaded arbor on the buffer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Adrian 155 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 Now I know. Thx. It's been sitting on the shelf for yrs. and I never considered using it for wood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 RPetry 564 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 Adrian, Save some of the worn 3M pads. They can be terrific for hand sanding "sculpted" and WRC spindles. Actually faster and easier than using the Makita, and much more efficient than using sandpaper or sanding blocks/pads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Adrian 155 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 Noted Rick: I certainly won't miss the cramping hand joints from the pad sander. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Little Buddy 14 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 I just use the defelt pads for finish work because they are not durable enough...bulk of the work is delegated to the osborne brush. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
