It is a random contour sander that attaches easily to your grinder, and is great for internal work whilst also smoothing and rounding the outer portions. The small flexible pad can be jammed into tight spaces, but it is gentle enough not to snap any pieces off. Because of the random action it does not leave any kind of swirl marks or cuts. Don't expect it to remove huge chunks of wood but it is hard to beat for finishing. Thanks for posting that cy. I usually use those cardboard sanding discs in my grinder. but they can't get in small places. I'll have to look into that one. You say it's gentle? Doesn't it spin at the same speed as the grinder?
