Quote from Tim in Howard's End

Al: You might also wanna mention, Tim, that this particular sander weighs over 240 pounds.
Tim: [groans] Could you help me with the...? Put an apron on there, we'll call it "Al's Mom."
Al: Now, because of the weight and the nature of the wood surface, in our case pine, I would suggest going with the 2400 rpms as opposed to the 28.
Tim: Thanks for sharing that, Al. But I think I'm gonna go with 4200 rpm.
Al: Well, Tim, it doesn't go up to 4200.
Tim: Does now, my stout little friend. I rewired it. Now, when going with a plank floor like this, you want to go with the grain.
[As Tim starts to sand, the planks of wood break and the sander falls through]
Tim: On first glance, this might seem like I screwed up. [coughs] But I've actually done this to prove an important point.
Al: That you know absolutely nothing about sanders?
Tim: No. That too much power is not always a good thing. And I know what you're asking. What kind of power is he talking about?
Al: I know I am.
