New Sanding Toy

Picked up the new sander today. A Festool Geared eccentric sander RO 150 FEQ-Plus. This should make the sanding back a breeze.

Couldn't resist so tried it out and it will definitely do the trick as was back to bare wood in no time.
Combined with the vacum its virtually dustless. Only downside is the hole pattern is unique to Festool ( It uses 8 holes round the edge and 1 in the centre rather than the standard 6 hole) Which means you have to buy Festool sandpaper!
Festool have some of the best power tools out  check them out at http://www.festool.co.nz/
