Is it just me or is sanding a pain in the butt? Have cut out the parts for a fancy bookshelf from 3/4 in pine. Started with 120 moved to 220 and will finish with 320. My B&D sander really doesn't like to hold the paper all that well. My old B&D done much better. When it's motor burnt out I kept the bottom and use it as a hand sander. Man can it hold the sandpaper. This is about the third sander I have bought over the years and always bought a cheap B&D. Maybe next time i will look a little closer at the mechanism that holds the paper. Sometimes I guess you should pay a little more. Ken , NS
