Product Information

Once you have completed the job to your satisfaction, switch to a finishing pad and finishing compound. The Makita BO5041 is an exceptional compact sander with low vibration and excellent sanding performance. Now, let’s return to the question: Can You Use an Orbital Sander as a Buffer? The short answer is yes but with a few caveats. Buffing requires a different pad type than sanding, and ensuring you have the right one for the job is important. A buffing pad is typically made of wool or foam and is designed to help spread polishing compounds evenly across a surface. How to Use an Orbital Sander as a Buffer

While it’s possible to use an orbital sander as a buffer for car detailing, it requires more caution and care. Here are the steps to follow when using an orbital sander for car detailing: Step 1: Choose the Right Sandpaper It’s also important to recognize that there are holes in the pads of certain random orbital sander pads, and these holes allow the dust to pass through for dust collection. Most sanders use 8-hole sanding discs, but 5-hole, 6-hole, and multi-hole sanding discs are also popular. Disc SizeThe AE Professional GEX 125-1 In every work posture, the random orbit sander allows for comfortable sanding. The ergonomic design enables fatigue-free operation with big soft grip surfaces for a variety of grip positions. The dust bag collects more dust than the dust box does. It’s simple to disassemble and clean, and its air permeability ensures that dust collection efficiency doesn’t suffer as a result of dust collection issues when working for lengthy periods. It is possible to use it with one hand due to its ergonomic design and weight of 1.42kg. Unlike a belt sander or a random orbital sander, which both move in circular patterns, an orbital sander moves in an elliptical motion. This motion helps prevent the tool from leaving swirl marks on the surface you’re sanding, making it ideal for use on delicate surfaces like furniture and cabinetry. Features

A buffer, a polishing machine or polisher, is a power tool to buff and shine various surfaces. Buffers are commonly used on cars, boats, and other vehicles, as well as on floors and countertops. Unlike sanders, designed to remove material from a surface, buffers use a soft pad and a polishing compound to bring out a high shine. Features Features a universal dust-collection hole design to reduce dust, and it’s available in 80, 100, 120, 150, and 220-grit variations. Best 6-inch Overall Having such a large sanding surface does come at a cost, in terms of capability to sand fine details and work in tight spaces. Fundamentally, this sander is not designed for detail work — and you’ll soon discover the truth of this if you try to use it to sand features such as beading or architrave. Generally speaking, corded random orbital sanders will have motors that draw between 2.5 to 7 amps. The more amperage, the heavier the duty that the sander can handle. CordlessWhen using this tool to finish wood, we’d advise using a light touch and a low setting, as the sander is pretty powerful relative to many other tools in its category. Its higher speed settings do come in handy for removing harder materials such as knots and splinters.
