I always wanted one of those tools, but are pretty damn expensive, and i just needed to cut some insulating foam, so i made this dirt cheap mod on my sander, and the results are way better than i expected!

Well, this is a very straight forward 'ible, so let's make things easy.
- Delta sander
- screwdriver
- metal blade
- scissors for sheet metal
Unscrew the Sanding Base

grab the snips and cut the blade, the longer you cut, the more will vibrate, but don't cut too short or you won't cut anything!
Done!
