Milwaukee detail sander

[rtibbs]

I always said that my favorite tool was sandpaper. I guess old age (82) is catching up with me.
I just recently purchased this Milwaukee M12 Fuel orbital 'Detail sander'
It's cordless, has a (4) speed selector with variable speed trigger control which will lock in place if you have lots of sanding and don't care to hold the trigger.
Speed ranges are:
0 - 800 Orbits per minute
0 - 10,000
0 - 12,000
0 - 14,000
Comes with a flat sanding pad and a foam pad for sanding contours
Mesh Hook-and-loop sanding sheets range in grit from 80-400
"Detail" is a relative term and probably good for sanding larger hulled scale ships.
I've given it a 'Test run' on the first planking of the ship I'm currently building and so far, love it
With the foam pad it easily conforms to the curved surfaces.

thats a nice sander.

i recently converted an old oral b cordless tooth brush to be used as a mini orbital sander. i cut down the bristles and put a small disk of fine sand paper on it with double sided tape. it works pretty nicely.

THAT'S thinking outside the box.
