Has anyone used this or know anything about it? With problems in both shoulders, I need all the help I can get out of power tools.

It is a sander that has a much finer cut than a regular da and actually works very well. There are a number of manufactures that make "innerface" pads made of foam that goes between the paper and the pad so it doesn't cut to much on edges and body lines. It really is a cool way to color sand. Instead of polishing out sand scratches you are polishing out a "haze" and it works much better.

Cutting is best done by hand. You can use all the power tools ya want to polish. | | |
