Orbital Sander

What is a cordless orbital sander?

It is a hand-held woodworking power tool that provides sanding operation in an elliptic orbital movement. Another variation of it is the random orbital model. These machines combine the best features of 2 types of sanders i.e., the aggressive speed of the regular belt sanding models and the fine finish look that comes from the slow-speed orbital finishing sander.

Difference between the electric orbital sander and random orbital sander

An orbital sander makes circular movements with its brush side, to create a sanding effect. This is ideal for paint, rust removal, or refurbishing projects. A random orbital sander, however, will add one more movement to the regular electric circular sander by also moving back and forth.

Random orbital sanders applications

• Surface finishing: With its 2-way movement, the random orbit sander gives a great finishing touch to any surface, be it wood, metal, or plastic
• Refinishing of hardwood floors: It comes in handy when you have to finish or refinish the hardwood floors. It makes the entire process super smooth and easy with minimum effort and maximum output
• Furniture: Ideal for finishing furniture, it provides you with a professional touch. You can achieve a sleek and smooth finish on the furniture making it ready to paint or stain for the final finish
• Cabinets: When building the cabinets, the components and joints need to be carefully considered. It helps you achieve a smooth finish for the joints and interlocked components with precision and accuracy
• Staircases: Wooden staircases are something that gets the biggest benefit from an orbital floor sander. Owing to its speed and handiness, it makes the whole project a lot easier than it would otherwise be
• Toys, frames, and souvenirs: Another application is that of small structures that require higher finish and precision work. Toys and souvenirs are sometimes oddly shaped and would be hard to sand if it weren’t for the mini circular sander
• Paint removal or rust removal: Another common application of this hand-held machine is that paint or rust is easily and quickly removed from any surface

Choice of sandpaper

Choosing the right sandpaper for your project is the first step toward achieving the desired results. Based on their level and degree of grit, these sandpapers can be divided into 4 major types:

• Extra-fine
• Fine
• Medium
• Coarse

Each paper has its level of finish and you need to be careful about which paper you choose for your project.
