Patent number: 6257969Abstract: An in-line sander comprising a sander body which houses a motor coupled to an in-line oscillating mechanism. The in-line oscillating mechanism is adapted and configured to move a sanding pad in a linear oscillating motion. A corner or detail pad has a substantially flat lower surface and a substantially pointed front portion bounded laterally by two substantially-linear corner-sanding edges having an included angle of less than 90 degrees. A forward end of this substantially pointed front portion of the preferred corner or detail pad protrudes ahead of a front end of the sander body throughout the linear oscillating motion of the pad. The front portion of the preferred corner or detail pad has particular application for sanding into corners of a carcass.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1997Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: Porter-Cable/DeltaInventors: Donald Robert Bosten, John Robert Kriaski, Randy Glen Cooper, John Charles Smith
