: I've got a cheap Black and Decker ROS. It's got a dust bag that doubles as a
: vaccuum tube pickup. I've had no problems with it, now that I've finally
: gotten back to work on the CLC 17LT.

: The key, IMHO is to save money on the sander and pile the cash into sandpaper
: sheets. I've been changing out every foot and a half on the hull, and
: keeping the paper sharp really makes sanding much easier.

: So there is the alternative to save cash on the hardware and blow it on the
: paper.

Hi Bill,

I started a long discussion about which ROS sander to get a few weeks ago. I had mentioned I found a $40 B&D on sale for $30 at Wal-Mart. Soooo,,, I was headed out to buy a really good ROS but I stopped by Wal-Mart on the way and I saw the B&D marked down to $20. I couldn't pass that up.
