Product Information

Does the grit last a long time? Yes. But is it suuuper longer lasting compared to other quality sandpaper on the market? I don’t think so. If removing paint off of metals, plastic and wood is a pain in the bum, you’ll be glad to know that this sander comes with 2 different kinds of grit papers in a set of 12. You can choose which sanding disk to use based on the toughness of the paint that needs to be scraped off. Selecting the right palm sander depends on the project. Some of the most important characteristics of these tools include whether they are corded or battery-powered, the orbits per minute, and the dust-collection features. Corded vs. Battery-Powered

But with so many options, it can be hard to start to look for the right one. To help make the search process easier, we researched and tested some of the top options. We performed 4 days of drywall sanding with each of the models below to put them through a real-deal hands-on test. There are a lot of sanders with one common problem- curved areas. Fortunately, with this tool, sanding curved areas won’t be your problem anymore. The disc attachment mechanism, which is patented by Bosch, is behind this craftsmanship on both plain and curved surfaces.But that’s not the only benefit of this handy tool. It has a 2.5-amp motor, which is plenty of power for most DIY tasks, and you can adjust the sanding speed between 7,500 and 12,000 orbits-per-minute (opm) to fine-tune the speed to your needs. Like most random orbital sanders, it uses 5-inch discs with hook-and-loop (that basically means Velcro) attachments, so it’s very easy to swap out discs when one wears out or you want to switch to a different grit. Although we had no difficulties during our testing session, a handful of buyers have complained that the discs come loose, however. Sometimes I like to hold my sander on the side a bit, and that’s just not possible now with the trigger on the top. I’m sure that once I use it more, I will love that it’s on top, or at least get used to it. From a heavy-duty, bulky sander, we’ve jumped straight to a petite, lightweight sander from Dewalt. Safe to say, this is one of the most popular sanders out there. It’s relatively smaller, but don’t take that as a disadvantage. Instead, the shape helps you to view critical angles and sand them easily. Different sanders have different speed variables. Some have five, some have six, and some have none at all. You should get one with multiple speed options which will allow you to maneuver and manipulate how you work with different projects.

Finishing sander: A finishing sander, as you might expect, is the one you need to put the finishing touches on a job. They come in different shapes and sizes which means you will sometimes see them described as palm sanders, and are ideal for working on flat areas before adding products like oil, wax and paint.Before I can paint, I scuff sand each piece of furniture (by hand) with 220 grit sandpaper to remove the sheen from the old finish.
