For aggressive felt removal, in situ, a metal carbide sanding paddle (pianotek) works fast. The Wahl puts a nice finish on without a lot of strokes. The only downside might be the tool vibrating in your hand. When I first used it, I needed to encase it in a piece of pipe insulation. Now I'm used to it. I wouldn't say that it does a faster job, just less effort. The minibelt sander seemed a little too aggressive for my liking. I can see me honing down a hammer to nothing...fast. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
