Amazon.com Review
If you use your random-orbit sander on a fairly regular basis, you probably go through a lot of sanding pads. This is true not only because the pads wear out but because they pick up so much dirt and debris. The Baxter Creek SS001 Sander Sitter is designed to extend the life of those sanding pads by cleaning and restoring them to health. Just place your running sander onto the unit while you adjust your work piece, and let the Sand Sitter's crepe rubber pad polish the sanding disc clean. You can also use it after you've finished a job to eliminate wind-down time when you turn the sander off. The Sand Sitter holds firmly to any flat surface and can be bench-mounted if you prefer. It works on all 5-inch random-orbit disc palm sanders and can extend a sanding disc's life by as much as 400 to 500 percent. --Carl Thress

I ordered this for my husband as a christmas present and he is very impressed. He has been wanting one for a long time now he dont have to change sand paper as much just clean it. Sand paper has a longer life.
Thank you!

This little device works as advertised. Turn off the sander and set it on the pad and you have gained a minute or so that otherwise you would be holding the sander for what seems forever while it winds down. This little device prevents scratches or falls on other surfaces and presents an easy way to hold a sander close by where it is needed. It works great!
 Why did I buy this?? December 3, 2004

Can't remember why I thought I needed this sander sitter. You have to set the sander down in it perfectly or it spins off the bench. If using a variable speed on highest setting the whole thing will "walk" off the bench if you leave it running more than a few seconds. First time my sander hit the floor I was a little more than upset. The whole mech is too light. As for the cleaning aspect, with the new stearite disks you can get, here on Amazon and from suppliers like Klingspor, you are hard pressed to ever load em up anyway. It's another one of those "good ideas" that just doesn't transfer from concept to actual use very well. If you just really have to have one, let me know, I'll send ya mine for the cost of postage. Can't recommend this one.

It seems odd that you need to 'break in' this simple device but you need to. After following the directions, it works like a charm.
I make a lot of small stuff and I continually need to stop and rotate the part in the vise. I was doing these small spindles for a bookcase. 4 spindles x 4 rows x 2 sides x 4 sides per spindle = a helluva lot of time waiting for the sander to wind down. This thingamajiggie probably cut down the time needed by half. Really. No kidding.
If time is money, this investment started making profits for me the first day I owned it. Still, it seems awfully expensive for what it is. So, it only gets 4 stars.
UPDATE: I paid $24 for mine. I see that these are now selling for about $15. So, I'd give it a five.
This really works!!! November 20, 2004

This is truly a good product.I had a little trouble at first,it wanted just to shake in the carousel. I called the manufacturer (Baxter Creek Tools) to inquire about it. They were a great help. It seems that I didn't fan the paper disc upward with the palm of my hand enough, as per the instructions. Apparently paper comes in all different sizes, some a little smaller than 5" and some a little larger than 5", The Sander Sitter will actually roll the paper automatically but it has to have some room in the carousel to start with in order for it to work properly,according to the guys at Baxter Creek. After that it did spin like it was suppose to.This is great because it allows me to set my sander down while running for a momment, to move my project around.My sander is a little older and the braking mechanism is worn, and it seems like forever when I shut it off to come to a stop.Now with the Sander Sitter, it allows me to shut off my sander and set it down and go on to the next job without waiting. My sander winds down safely to a stop in the carousel.All this does save me time. And remarkably it does clean my paper extending the life of the disc. If you have a ROS. this is a good purchase.
