WHAT IT DOES
A random orbit sander is a power sander used for ultra-smooth sanding and finishing and it can be used on wood, plastic or for metal working. It works by simultaneously spinning the sanding disk and moving it in an ellipse.
Random orbit sanders don’t do bulk removal of material. Better alternatives for this purpose would be power planers and belt sanders.

YOU MAY ALSO NEED
Consumables – Sanding discs – Essential. You can choose between a wide range of grit numbers for sanding discs, depending on the material you have to sand and the kind of work you have to do. The higher the grit number, the finer the sanding paper and the finer the end result will be. As a guide, 60 grit sandpaper is very coarse and 180 is quite fine for woodwork.
Clamps – Useful to hold your work securely in place and prevent it from moving.
