    Anyone know if the Numatic 1515 sander/buffer is any good? £684 +vat including dust skirt and extraction system so seems good value.

    Also if after sales support is decent/ easy to get spares for? I'll be using it for finishing sanding and buffing/oiling, possibly for grinding too in future if it's capable of this? Cheers

    I think there a light weight which is slow you down on the prep. I am using STR and it is very good powerful sander. I think you can find used one for similar price, but it is power and quality!

    Yeah that's the one I was looking at but went for a menzer in the end. Still getting the hang of it, been thrown against the wall a few times o_O Main problem is getting the sanding discs to stick to the pad, think I've sussed it though with double sided tape

    I don't think the tape will work. You need dust and the tape is finish. You need weight for the sanding disc to stays.

    I am sugesting to put some weight on the top. I am not sure what kind of sander is it. My STR is heavy, but i am having additional weight of 15kg, but the motor of STR is 2 bhp powerful. If he shows some pictures will be helpful.

    I have the 1515. Yes it is light but you can get horseshoe shaped 10kg weights to add to it.
    I use 1 or 2 if needed

    If the motor is strong enough is fine.
    By the way I am looking for skirt for my Str.
    I am looking for used one.

    Got it sorted with extra weight, plus I was using wrong drive disc to start with which didn't help
