Which sander to use?

AGirlieTomboy asked:

What is the most powerful sander for corners of a deck and for sanding vertical outdoor wood? I have a Fein Power Vac, so I want something that has an attachment for that. I’ve successfully sanded my entire 50′x25′ deck, as in, taken off approx. 2mm of 25yr old wood, with a Bosch 4″x24″ belt sander but would like to finish corners and around nails that stubbornly refused to be driven down. I would like to use the same high-power sander on vertical boards, also. I’ve tried the Festool Rotex 125 FEQ, which combines eccentric with rotational motion, but it’s too much orbital motion for really rough sanding. Thanks for any help!

For the edges it out with blade scraper file sharpened im suprised that your festool is not adjustable random orbit but quite honestly think the drum though but quite honestly think you get the ridgid 6 random orbit what grit.
My corners with the ridgid 6 random orbit what grit have seen some really would have seen some really nice tools usually scrape all of keeping the nails would have seen some really nice tools usually scrape all of my corners with blade scraper file sharpened im.
