I want to replace my Ryobi 1/6 sheet palm sander but it seems that it has been discontinued. Anyone know if of a 1/6 sheet palm sander made by anyone?

Never heard of one, myself, - - is there something you dislike about the standard 1/4 sheet palm sander??

Unless you have a stockpile of sandpaper it might be time to change to a 1/4 sheet, look for parts to fix yours if it's broke or maybe try eBay. I found two pnuematic ones.



Grizzly G5344 Air Palm Sander

Viking Wet Palm Grip Sander: 3" x 4" Orbital Palm Sander

And parts:
Ryobi S551 parts

Well after I had to use my 1/4 sheet the other day... the weight, feel, and quickness were not as good as my 1/6 sheet. If you have tried the Bosch 10.8v driver you would understand... it too has all the power you need 90% of the time, in a lightweight package.

Too bad Ryobi discontinued it, it was the best thing they ever made... I am not a big Ryobi fan

It's used and it's in Rochester. Pictures in link. $30. They appear to be more rare than gold. Now I want one.

I think that Makita made one a few years ago. I don't know if they still are made though. Ill check and resubmit.
