This sander I used is truly a game changer! With the option of the foam padded sanding sheets, I seldom do any hand sanding. The Sander I have is the 3x4 Electric Ray, along with their dust collector (Which auto turns on and clears the filter). For more on these as well as the foam abrasives, other abrasives, and more, check out https://surfprepsanding.com Use my affiliate code “68WOOD” for 10% off your order and to support the channel. It's a game changer. Seriously.
