Molding profile sander hugs the curves
December 13, 2007
If you've got an old door that could use a little sanding, there are two schools of thought on scuffing up those complex profiles.
You can either:
- Mash the sander so hard it starts smoking, or
- Fold up some sandpaper and dig in with the elbow grease.
Well, I present a third option: Festool's LS 130 Linear Profile Sander.
This sander's removable pads fit the contours of common molding profiles. For those less common profiles, you can actually buy a blank pad, stick some PSA sandpaper on your molding with the abrasive side up, and sand the blank into your own custom block.
It ain't cheap, at $290, but an afternoon of sanding profiles by hand will cost you your fine motor skills by nightfall.
