Comments about Festool Festool LS 130 Linear Sander:
If you do a lot of brightwork, especially wide cap rails this is a must have. It took me awhile to warm to the price but now I'm sorry I waited so long. Very rarely will I know have to hand sand! The LS130 linear sander has a nice feel in the hand and unlike most of the other sanders that are just a fraction to large for my small hands this is a perfect fit. I recently had to refinish the helm sole of a Selene 53'. It only took me a few hours to do the final sand with my LS130, I figure it cut my time by 4 hours!
This tool is really working smarter.
