I really like this sander. Now I've assembled this AM (air connector, 3M pad, etc.) and used it to prepare some parts. It took me a while to get used to it because it's 3/32 and not 3/16 like I'm used to. My first Hutchins 4500 offset sander which I have used for 17 years. (still works) Anyway, I'm painting Cromax Pro Waterborne and thought it would be best for prep work because of the thinner offset. My goal is to minimize sand scratches as much as possible, as Waterborne doesn't fill in gross
