Jim, I prefer to use the McCall sander with the Foredom tool. Being left handed, I reverse the motor direction so I can use the tool with my left hand. BTW no one ever brings up the problems a left hander faces in this business. Perhaps we should start a thread on this. Anyway, the Fordom tool with a footswitch allows for good control, and the sanding belts allow for 'give' against the hammers so as to enhance proper shaping.
