Multi-sander workflows, abrasive pairing, extractor matching, corners/edges kits
About
Former cabinet installer turned systems builder. I design surface-specific sanding packages that junior techs can deploy unassisted and repeat across sites.
Core Beliefs
The system—tool, abrasive, and extraction—beats any single hero tool.
Background
An insurance office asked for 'no dust, no smell' weekend work. We mapped surfaces, pre-cut mesh discs, and paired 125mm RO with tailored extraction and corners kit. Monday, carpets were clean, clients returned early, and my crew simply followed the recipe. The manager asked for our system spec sheet.
