WHAT IT DOES
A random orbital 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.
It doesn’t do bulk removal of material. Better alternatives for this purpose would be random orbital sanders, power planers and belt sanders. For tight corners and curves, we would recommend to use a multi-tool with the detail sander attachment.
