New Orbital Sander from 3M

I saw a review of a new sander from 3M. It's a plug-in random orbital sander of commercial quality. It's called the Xtractor. It's in very limited supply now, but it's supposedly excellent - for $389. I don't do enough sanding to justify the cost, but it looks like a beauty.

You could use it to clean your lenses.

I wouldn't use anything more than 100 grit, though.

Just sayin'.

I would suggest you do it before you put them in your eyes!

Same here - I am close to 80 and my sanding days are over. However, this does look like a beauty of a sander.
