    Orbital sander with vacuum combo

    The 125 is probably the way to go, the 150 is to big for a lot of jobs. I payed $750 up here in Canada just for the sander and that was 4 years ago. The mini vac is real nice and quiet to, I use mine almost everyday Cant remember what I payed for the vac it was to long ago. Dean
