What a great sander. We have been using these simple 330 Bloc sanders for years, we usually have three or four laying around the shop. They are easy use, do a great job preparing for furniture finishing (leaving minimal sanding marks). They go through a lot of abuse with us over the years and they keep on taking it. I've seen the price rise over the last few years, as well as the manufacturing move from the U.S. to Mexico, still a good sander.
