One inch sanders for trimming

[Richard Moody]

YES!!
	This is what I wanted to hear!.  
	If you could tell me where the Vagius tops are available.  I use molded
ones from Schaff or ASPCO. 
	ALSO  you mention careful placement. I assume you are using tops only,
not the tops with fronts.  I assumed the tops with fronts gave less choice
in placement matters, which among other reasons I haven't used the tops
with fronts. Have I been assuming up the wrong tree? 

	Now I need an email to Harbor Freight to order a catalogue.
