I cant say if its worth it or not but they've been around for years and I've never seen one ran before. So that tells me no.

Port it

or you can save money and go get some coarse grit sand paper and do it yourself... if you have a dremel get some of those sanding drums..

You'd have some sore *** fingers if you sanded the whole thing.

I knocked down the major part and sanded with some 220 to make it nice and smooth and my fingers were done for.
