is a good veneer grinder. With this sander I sand all types of hardwoods both veneer and MDF based using only 180 paper and get very good results with 2 coats of catalytic varnish. I bought this one to replace another of the same type, it lasted about 2 years with daily use and it started acting a bit weird, maybe it can be fixed but I need an extra one because there aren't any downtime can occur.
