I bought the palm-type Porter Cable RO for $60 before I started building my Guillemot. It has the self-adhesive discs rather than the more expensive velcro-backed discs. However, the velcro backed disc sanders usually have dust collection, and you can change discs and then put the old one back on and it will still stick. Shawn -- Shawn W.
