Corded sanders deliver continuous power for smoothing and shaping surfaces. Â Belt sanders remove material quickly, orbital sanders create swirl free finishes and detail sanders reach tight corners. Â Dust collection ports and comfortable grips make sanding tasks cleaner and more comfortable.
What are the different types of sanders and their uses?
There are several common types of corded sanders:
Orbital sanders: Great for fine finishing and light sanding; they move in small circular motions.
Random orbital sanders: Combine spinning and orbital motion for swirl-free finishes; ideal for prepping or finishing wood, paint, or metal.
Belt sanders: Powerful tools used for aggressive stock removal and leveling surfaces quickly.
Detail/mouse sanders: Designed for tight corners and edges with small, pointed pads.
Choosing the right one depends on your material, surface area, and finish requirements.
Why choose a corded sander over a cordless one?
Corded sanders provide consistent power and unlimited runtime, making them ideal for larger projects or workshop use. They’re generally more affordable and better suited for tasks requiring long, uninterrupted sanding sessions, such as floor refinishing or furniture restoration.
What features should I look for in a corded sander?
Important features include variable speed control for adjusting to different materials, dust collection systems (built-in bags or vacuum ports), ergonomic grips, and pad size compatibility. For random orbital models, check the orbit diameter and brake systems to reduce gouging. Belt sanders should have tracking adjustments and quick belt change mechanisms.
