My projects have gravitated more toward case goods recently. I use an ancient Craftsman finishing sander which uses a 1/3 sheet and is selectable for straight line or orbital. I THINK it does everything I need but it's so old that I'm toying with the idea of getting something newer.
Right now I'm looking at a ROS like maybe the Bosch 1250DEVS and at finishing sanders like the Bosch 1293D. It appears that the ROS are all disc and the finishing sander is 1/2 sheet. I'm accustomed to the rectangular format which works well for the inside of a chest although I guess the disc (which I have never used) would leave only the inside corners. I can also see possible advantages to the "Turbo" mode on the ROS.
Then there's buying a whole new disc supply vs tearing sheets which I do now.
Anybody have any insights to offer? Thanks.
