A Guide to Buying the Perfect Sander

There are different sanders for different jobs – simple. To understand and discover which sander is perfect for you, you will first need to know the different types of sander. 

Belt sander – A belt sander is great for removing a large amount of material from a large area. As it is electric, it can swiftly remove content substances from tabletops, doors flooring, and many other surfaces. As an addition to this, a belt sander is also perfect for rounding off and shaping wood.

Orbital sander – Best for getting a smooth finish on large, flat areas. An orbit sander can also be used for smoothing paint, varnish or smoothing plaster between coats.

Random orbital sander – Combines the speed of a belt sander with the smoothness of orbital sander. An orbital sander leaves the surface almost scratch free and distributes wearing on sand sheets evenly, meaning they last longer.

Multi-sander – A very versatile sander. Good for treating both contoured and flat surfaces. With the addition of different attachments, working on sections such as skirting boards and architraves is an ease.

Sander features:

Speeds – Variable speed functions let you set speeds for greater control.

Dust extraction – a vacuum cleaner attachment is very useful, as sanding creates a lot of dust.
