Even if you dont use it, it's nice to have the option. I wouldn't get the long one or the medium one though. I have them, but have used them maybe once. Get the medium one. Can't remember the length, but it's like 200mm or something. not the smallest one, but the one up. Thanks a lot!!

Will make getting a flat surface much quicker and easier. Thank you. I see there are many options, with or without vacuum connection and a long (70 cm) one. Which one(s) do you recommend?

Wonder if there is some adjustment specific for composites. So... Wood (btw, with or without pads)? Foam? Xps would be ok Commercial available? Ifound permagrit blocks fantastic but they only make the coarser grits. Thanks
