My Dad gave me that sander about ten years ago when I first started making bows, after your comments about the warrenty, I gave him a call and he has the book and card. so I will take the new one back and send the old one back to Ridgid and see what happens. Thanks guys I'll let you know what they say. Now after seeing all the nice work you guys are doing I'm all fired up about making bows again. Now all I got to do is convice the wife.
