Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a good Random Orbital Sander and would appreciate your recommendations on the matter. I'm a longterm general diyer an I'm looking for something that will give a good finish and last in the long run. Many thanks.
Thanks Red Dawn I'm looking at buying the Bosch GEX 150AC model http://www.screwfix.com/p/bosch-gex150ac-random-orbit-sander-240v/96673 Do you perhaps have this one or impressions of it? Thankyou
I tried the DeWalt D26453-GB. and it seems okay for general lightweight finishing sanding. But if i need to do a lot of removal i use an angle grinder with sanding discs, then finish with the orbital.
Hi Mate, Out of curiosity which are the sanding discs for an angle grinder ? I've had a quick browse at the screwfix site and I can only see those for sanding metal surfaces, but not wood. I have a bosch PWS 650 angle grinder. Thanks
Recommend this Ryobi 5 in. Random Orbit Sander from Home Depot. Check it at http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-5-in-Random-Orbit-Sander-RS290/100599175#.UYt-dkpqiB0
Thanks was dunc before. Am I right in thinking one requires this http://www.screwfix.com/p/nylon-backing-pad-115mm-m14x2-0-hole-22mm/41534 to convert the angle grinder to the disc u mentioned ? Also can these http://www.screwfix.com/p/bosch-flap-discs-115mm-120-grit/99917 be used for wood ? Thanks again
Well I’ve had a past model Bosch 4″ unique orbital sander for 4 or 5 years, now and it still performs as well as the day I purchased it. Granted I don’t use it day in and day out, but still going powerful after several huge tasks.
I normally use a Bosch Blue RO sander but as its in for repair I purchased a Titan model from screwfix to use until the Bosch is repaired. I have to say this is the first Titan product I have bought and was surprised at how well it performed. Yes it is heavier than the Bosch and vibrates a little more but for occasional use at £40 quid its worth a look. Not sure about its life span though.
You can find out the internet many shopping sites are available now, but there are many friends give you very good suggestions and ideas, Best of luck dear.
