McCall mini disc sander

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi David,
It really depends how dexterious you are with the tool.
That said I use my paddles #305, which are the same idea slowed down a tad.
I like the better control over what is going on.

a nice piano?   I don't have a lot of those clunkers in my clientele...
