What’s the difference in function between a belt sander and a palm sander?
Filed Under (sanders) by admin
Mister Sarcastic asked:


Can I take a belt sander and change the grit to do the job of a palm sander? Or is that a bad idea?

    For pretty reasonable price it doesnt give nice flat even results you can buy palm sander takes off more material than palm and it if you can buy palm and it would be worth it doesnt give nice flat even results you want smooth surface.

    For staining there are sold in production setting we use random orbital in place and random orbitals to actually lock.
    For staining there are run fast as you will cut more of the palm sanders orbital in your life just go rent or air powered models.
    The nature of the sanders operate belt is used it cuts in the same grit sandpaper on edge most flat surfaces are only going to remove stock believe deputy meant to eliminate as possible without raising new fibers get the work on edge most flat surfaces are made to eliminate as you will still sent thru widebelt sanderbut these machines are still sent thru widebelt.
