Have you tried the Dremel stylo,
-
I just received mine from UPS (Early X-mas present to myself, saves my wife from shopping). What a fantastic machine. I'm left handed and I really like the reverse feature. I purchased mine with the extended miter bar and several spare metal removable disc. The disc are two piece and can easily be changed out by removing three screws. My plan is to keep a different grade of sanding paper on each of the four disc. When checking out the sander what I like most is the ability to turn it down to a very slow speed and still have the ability to sand without bogging down. The motor, for the size, is very powerful. I ordered the variable speed sander off the website 11 days ago. The box and Styrofoam packing blocks kept the sander safe during shipment. The Styrofoam blocks will be used to make a building cradle for laying the hull on its side while building. I would hate to waste the blocks. Really nice firm Styrofoam. My hat off to Model Machines for the quality of the sander.

Great little sanding block
Daniel Kimmer replied to Papa's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
how does the sandpaper attach? Is it peel and stick or Velcro backed? I need a good sanding tool for sanding the frames. -
I use the Dremel Stylo, very small, corded tool with speed ranges from 5000 to 15000. I make a small indention with a pin tool to allow the drill bit to find its' location and use cheap Hardor Freight drill bits and they work great. I use the tool on the low speed and let the tool do the work. I wear a pair of 2.5 reading glasses so I can see the impression in the wood the pin made prior to drilling.

Try contacting the Foredom company online or calling them. They are an excellent company that will assist you with any questions. Contact information: Email customerservice@blackstoneind.com Phone 800-272-2885 or 203-792-8622 Monday through Friday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm (ET) I have contacted them several times when ordering replacement parts. Very helpful staff and efficient company. There website is excellent and contain a huge amount of information. Try using the serial number off the label on your machine in the search box or use it as a reference when calling them. There tools last for decades but you want to make sure you order the proper insert for the flex line. I wish you luck, I love my Foredom tool and look forward to using it when I can. I even purchased the Vanda-lays Acra mill plus to use with the tool to give it better options for control. Expensive but it allows the full use of the tool and they sell a clamp set yp that works with the Foredome # H.30 and H.44 handpieces.

I like the idea of using the wood planks compared to the laser option. I enjoy model ship building and have purchased a slightly older version of your kit. I will follow your build log. Good luck and please keep posting. Excellent start!
