Thanks, Mitch. I had completely forgotten that McCall developed this tool. I
called Ruth and placed my order. She mentioned to me, just as she is
mentioning to every caller, that she needs a buyer for the business. Since
the mini belt sander is not in production, soon the sander, the custom
sanding belts, and repair parts will become unavailable unless someone steps
in.
