From Sawn to Smooth in 90 seconds! [Video 619]

In this one I’m taking a quick look at the Deros RS, a slightly unusual sander from Mirka that can take a sawn board to smooth and snag-free in under 90 seconds, while also dealing with delicate surfaces like face veneers too. It’s impressive, but I probably won’t be keeping it and in this video I’ll explain why…

Thanks so much to Mirka UK for sending the sander for review, and the sander will bow returned to Mirka upon completion; I have no financial interest in the product or the company.

Check out Keith Brown’s Mirka review here -    • Is A Rotary Sander Really Needed? Spoiler:...  

Watch out for Leo’s long term review -    / @singlehandedlymade  

I used Leo's Carnauba wax to finish the Idigbo, you can pick it up from Leo's store here -  https://www.hand-i-craft.com/store-1-2
