Random Orbit Sanders
Random orbit sanders are compact, powerful and versatile. This tool gets its name from its pads, which rotate in a random orbital manner. This saves you the trouble of following the grain of the wood in order to achieve a swirl-free finish. They are often used for removing paint and varnish, cleaning metal, and sanding before and after applying wood sealants and finishes.
Important features to shop for:
• A sturdy base with perforations for dust extraction
• Hook and loop attachments for quick sandpaper changes
• A lightweight model to reduce fatigue
• An orbital speed of approximately 12,000 OPM (oscillations per minute) for efficient sanding
• A comfortable grip to help you work longer with less hand fatigue
• Passive or active dust extraction system
• A vacuum adaptor on a passive extraction model
• A dust bag or dust box on an active extraction model
