I purchased a used one as the piece is a bit pricey, but the machine kzitem.infoUgkxG6fbm3cHBd7CNTjk5D-dwYe9c9tCB9ZN has surpassed my expectations. We sand small parts by hand often, sized around 1"x1/2," and specifically look for a piece that's designed to be vertical. The motor has plenty of torque and great speed settings. The only inconvenience I had is that the disk measures 5" where we trim 6" stick-and-sand disks down easily by mounting it then cutting with a box cutter.

Based on the video, here are the recommended uses for each type of sander: Orbital Sander: - Furniture refinishing and fine finish sanding - Sanding in tight spaces and crevices - General all-purpose sanding where you don't want visible sanding marks Belt Sander: - Aggressive material removal (e.g. stripping paint, sanding rough lumber) - Sanding large flat surfaces and sheets quickly - Initial rough sanding before using an orbital for the final finish - Sanding edges and ends of boards Palm/Finish Sander: - Getting into tight inside corners - Applying a very smooth, fine final finish Disc Sander: - Sanding large flat surfaces by moving the workpiece over a spinning sanding disc So in summary: Orbital = General purpose, fine finishing Belt = Aggressive stock removal, rough sanding Palm/Finish = Inside corners, ultra-smooth finish Disc = Flat surfaces by moving workpiece The video recommends an orbital as the most versatile all-purpose choice, with a belt sander being a good addition for tackling tough stock removal jobs.

Good job, because most people start out and gouge everything and put the belt sander on the shelf and forget about it. You should practice on scrap wood first until you get it. I have 2 belt sanders. One with like 80 grit and the other with 120 grit. I use them a lot (Carefully). I think I may buy another and keep 180 grit on it. I do a lot with rough sawn wood that has gone thru the jointer and planer before any sanding. Like on Shelves I am pretty sure I can pretty much just go to a 180 grit belt, and then 180 Random orbital sanding for mere minutes and the sanding is done. Learn to use the belt sander and let its own weight do the sanding. It is like landing a plane and taking off in a plane and while sanding it is like ironing with the grain. I do much less sanding than most people because of the belt sander. Between coats I do it by hand sanding and often lightly use 0000 Steal wool.

Thank you so very much pretty lady. I was kind'a always secretly wondering which one was better but a lot of times when I go to a hardware store hardly anybody especially the people who work at the store knows anything. I don't know how they even got the job in the first place. I really, really don't. All they know is that it is for sale and how to read what's on the sign. Heck I already know how to read so it seems to me that I drove all that way for nothing. We are the blond leading the blind. Kind'a like they are saying, "Hell I don't know about the goddamn thing Mister, I just work here." What a bunch of idiots. Especially the dope who hired them. Why? Oh well. But anyway pretty lady, once again, I thank you very, very much. Have a Blessed Day. Adios. PS: And they are not as half as pretty as you.

So….electric planer, then belt sander, then random orbital, then a few strokes with fine grit along the grain by hand. Plus..if you want ALL sanders, don’t forget the flap disc on an angle grinder…it removes a lot and you have to keep it moving, but it is a ‘sander’.

my project is sanding off the spines of many books to turn the pages digital in a rapid scanner. so i think a belt sander would win in my project, i need something to do heavy lifting type of sanding without fine details don't matter as much. also the movement of the sanding runs along the spine of the book which may lead to a cleaner sanding done where as orbital sander may cause the pages to fray and wrinkle in random directions while being sanded. also the price is another perk, belt sanders i seen are like 1/3rd the price. like 30 bucks for a belt sander isn't so bad in 2024.

Well, if researched and lots of practice, you can use a finer grit on a belt sander and get a fairly good finish. If held and controlled properly your can use a belt sander and not get heavy dipping or gouges. Takes practice. We do it all the time in the custom cabinet and woodworking company I work for
