Wondering if anyone has experience with this or similar tool.

I've been using an old Dremel, but would like to know if this would work.

That link did not work for me, but I "Binged" it and saw several. Kind of pricey for me. I currently use 2 mops 180 and 220 grits, rotary dremel tool with the usual bits + mini mops, and a Dremel contour sander. I don't think many people know about the latter.

$38 at Amazon if you have a 12V power supply, which I do. Try this link:

I like the size and shape of the pads for sanding carved regions and the linear motion.

Exactly what Dremel wheels and tools are you using, and where do you get them?
