overview of orbital sanders
Orbital sanders operate by moving the sanding pad in small circular motions, which helps achieve a smooth finish on various surfaces. They are especially effective for fine sanding tasks and surface preparation before painting or finishing. The shape of the sanding pad, often rectangular or triangular, allows for sanding in corners and edges that are hard to reach with other types of sanders.
choosing the right orbital sander
When selecting an orbital sander, consider the size of the orbit (the diameter of the circular motion). Smaller orbits (e.g., 2.0 mm) provide more aggressive sanding, suitable for quick material removal and coarser sanding on large surfaces, but may leave visible sanding marks. Larger orbits (e.g., 5.0 mm or 8.0 mm) offer a finer, polished finish ideal for veneer sanding and finishing work, producing smoother surfaces with fewer visible marks. Practice is recommended to achieve the best polishing results due to the circular motion of the sander.
