What is the typical power of the orbital sanders motor?
Q: What is a Random Orbit sander? A: They have a round sanding pad (115 to 180mm) which is positioned off-centre on the drive shaft and which can rotate freely or with restricted guidance parallel to the surface. This action of orbital together with the random motion makes these sanders highly efficient at rapid material removal right down to delivering a fine finish by simply changing sanding paper grit. Typical power ratings are between 350 to 750w Q: What is a Belt Sander? A: Belt sanders are equipped with a continuous rotary sanding belt. They are known for their high removal rate which makes them ideal for large surface area work such as floors and large rough timber surfaces. Due to their action and high power they generally take reasonable physical effort to control.
