I purchased one of these a couple of years ago to finish sand the maple  cabinets I was making for my wife's kitchen.  They are pretty much  one-of-a-kind in that the raised panels are made from Eastern Curly Maple  and the stiles and rails are Birdseye Maple.  The point is, of course, this  is a super hard wood, that is difficult to work with, and takes a while to  sand.  This sander worked flawlessly, efficiently, and more importantly,  comfortably through twenty-five of these doors.  I think that is what  really sets this little sander apart from all in its class.  It is quiet,  and its ergonomics make it a pleasure to use. It does use slightly more  than one-quarter sheet of sandpaper, though, to cover its base and fit in  the clamps. I readily recommend this sander for finish applications.
