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.
