Belt Sanders
Belt sanders are used by both DIY enthusiasts and manufacturers to shape and sand wood and other materials such as aluminium. Belt sanders are suited to flat surfaces and can be hand-held or stationary. They have been designed to move easily over the material they are sanding.
Random Orbital Sanders
Orbital Sanders are handheld power tools for sanding, which vibrates in small circles or orbits. Orbital sanders are popular tools with woodworkers, cabinet makers and professional carpenters that are used to remove the finish from a piece of wood or to smooth a new project without leaving tell-tale swirl marks that other sanders can leave.
