As someone totally ignorant about tools in general and wood work per se this video has been very helpful.Thank you.

Wow, I've been using my orbital sander for a couple weeks and getting dust all over myself. Thought I reached a break through when I figured out I was supposed to hook up the shop vac. I was perplexed when that didn't work. Only after watching this video did I realize that the holes are needed in the paper. Thanks!!!

[@smokeycanuck8058]

Unlike a lot of crap on KZbin, very helpful thanks.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad it helped

[@anadelgado8661]

I watched a few videos on sanding (newbie) and by far this is the best one in all aspects. Blessings and thank you so much!!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad it was helpful, and thank you for the blessings!

[@jmackenzie2010]

Ive just joined a womens shed in Melbourne Australia. I'm sanding back a small cabinet and it's my first time using a cordless sander. I'm loving it. Your video is great and so helpful. Keep up the great tips and advice!

[@Little_Sidhe]

Would an orbital sander be best to sand down a mahogany veneer chest of drawers?

[@randyhuber7108]

Very good beginner video for sanding, tools and techniques

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad you liked it!

[@shawndelaney9311]

I never knew about the holes needing to line up. Thanks for the tip.

[@vjmcheg5124]

Thank you! I appreciate your clear, concise explanations and demonstrations. Now I feel more comfortable with the project at hand. 🙂

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@haroldsarino]

[@ianbrooks7586]

Bloody perfect little tutorial mate, cheers!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Much appreciated! If you want to support my work, please drop some more comments on my other videos! This helps to wake up the YT algorithms. :)

[@zicarwoodworking]

this portable orbital sander looks so convenient. In our factory we make biggger sanding machine to polish wood door or plank, but maybe in the future we will consider this cute sander.

[@zacharymaneja1207]

I live your final statement. I was totally intimidated by woodwork until then

[@totorishop]

I love the videos you’ve created. You’re an excellent teacher! Easy to understand, useful tips, why the tool is used and even encouraging comments! Thank you!!!

[@yougetagoldstar]

Not only this, but no cursing, tattoos, crazy piercings, saying disgusting innuendos, and so on.

[@cheungroy9006]

Very professional guy and good teaching video

[@ninajawnyj6091]

Im buying my 1st Orbital Sander thank you for the Tips!

[@journ-etv1664]

I learned so much I’m saving this video

[@karma3101]

Very informative video, I've decided to purchase a random orbital sander after watching this. Thanks.

[@Positively_Bri]

I just wanted to know how to attach the sandpaper to the machine! I watched a whole other video on it and I still didn't know. Your video taught me that and so many more basics! Ready to get started! Hoping to get my door to be able to close.

[@miketony2069]

Nice video - came here after experimenting with my orbital sander and creating said dips and valleys in test pieces lol - I'll know how to avoid now :)

[@yvonnechristmas2616]

Great Teacher, gonna buy one tomorrow! I'm a little confused about vacuum hookup, but hopefully I can figure it out.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Just let me know if you have questions.

[@louannbruce6252]

I’m in the market for a great orbital sander because I do all my own painting, and I am scraping popcorn off my ceilings. Sanding that by had hasn’t been fun, so I appreciate these vids. Thanks!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thank you for watching!

[@brennancumberbatch1571]

Great demo man. God bless you and your family.

[@vincehernandez9653]

excellent info for knowing what to buy and how to use orbital sanders

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thanks for watching!

[@lazylimey4754]

Thanks a bunch. Just stripping and then sanding my oak stairs. Although only a couple of years old they are the wrong colour stain. Did not want to over sand and mark them. I will buy an orbital sander to prevent scratches.👍

[@dolldenson]

Thank you that helped me a lot

[@laxminarayanagollapalli8362]

Clearly narrated. Useful. Thank you

[@paulweller2329]

Thanks for the succinct tutorial! I'm gonna do my hardwood floors and didn't feel like renting and lugging around a hardware store rental. I've got both of these types and the orbital (circular) sander with 80 grit seems to be the answer...

[@aftabmohammedify]

Clear, Short and informative. Thank you!

[@meandkg]

awesome video man, explained exactly what I was wanting to know

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad you liked it!

[@jenniferhoneycutt2419]

Thank you, thank you for showing this "newbie" girl how to load the paper with the holes to collect the dust. The paper instructions just did not make sense to me. Now,..........off to sand!

[@-LunerLight-Dragons-]

Thank you for your videos!! They’re my favorite to learn from!!

[@jadethompson4062]

Really helpful. I'm going to be sanding and refinishing some internal doors and this has given me some much needed confidence!

Hello ,what is the attachment used to attach to the vacuum cleaner , where would I find it?

[@desahastie8237]

You explain beautifully. Thank you

[@LanaKaneSocks]

great video, pencil tip! thanks

[@0the0ambient0]

Love how comprehensive this is. Thank you.

[@danamask7028]

Love your content, have learned so much! Question… when using the orbital sander, what dictates the speed you should use? Mine has a variable speed, and I don’t know enough about these things to know if they all do. I will look for a more advanced video as well. Thanks!!!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Hello. Great question. 90% of the time you can keep it at full speed. You can dial it back as a way to slow down the amount of material it will remove.

[@journ-etv1664]

This was a big help

[@Corman7088]

~~Yeah,I love my orbital. IF I use/need 60 grit? It's followed by 100,150,180&depending on what is? 220&maybe even 320 as well. With 80 grit it's 120,180 etc. ~~When I redid my coffee table w/birch top I used 320,400&600 glued&pressed over night to old discs before finished hand sanding w/800. Felt like glass&sure can imagine the results after doing two coats red mahogany stain that darkened it beautifully. Followed by coat wipe on Satin poly using 320&400 by hand between stains&after the poly before finishing w/3 light coats of laquer. ~~Definitely pleased,poured lil water out of curiosity/test&it beaded like the best ceramic ever.

[@marlenaconnelley4250]

Super video. Thanks!

[@lancelotslover3713]

Logical, essentialized, and succinct. Well done. Useful to me. Thank you. Question: Should I expect to be able to remove 1/16” to ⅛” height difference between joined plywood and hardwood with an orbital sander? Background: New purchase of Ryobi OS, used included sample of 80 grit to smooth joint between maple face frame and ¾” ply cabinet. 20 minutes of sanding with little result on hardwood. My technique was as you describe, so I don’t think that was the issue. Used to hand sanding; I often use 60 grit and have better results than I did with the OS. I wonder if the sample paper is inferior, or I expect too much from an OS.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

I'm not sure what's going on. A random orbital should have no problem removing that amount of material. If you want to find me on Instagram, you can send me a photo/video of what you are working on, and I might be able to help you better.

[@jamesharper8373]

Keeping the dust bag clean?

Refresher courses are always needed to perform your best Work

[@suidwesboytjie]

Hi... All the way from South Africa and just came across this video while searching to buy myself an orbital sander. Thank you for the tips and info and help me making a more informative decision. Do have a question though... What is meant by throwing discs?

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

I would think it means when the disc of the sander becomes loose and comes off the sander or an angle grinder. I've never seen it happen but I'm sure it can.

[@paulseizert6603]

Perfect video

[@pureplay7071]

The pencil marks is a great tip.

[@MOSTAFA131160]

It’s very informative video. Thank you very much 🙏

[@georgetteberghammer8696]

Great video. New subscriber. Thanks🙂

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thanks for the sub!

[@flyinglenses4shini4]

I’d like to ask about the electrical sander would you get a machine that can function as both a sander and a polisher or would you rather get them individually? By The Way great video as you made it short and straight to the point

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

I would get them individually. Thanks for the comment.

[@jmarasco510]

Great video

[@darshanaalles6780]

[@yichalnegussie5401]

Thank you!

[@alexandrajames8734]

I've bought an old pine & kitchen table & chairs for the garden. I need to remove the old varnish so I can then paint everything. Will the random orbital sander be the right machine for the job?

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Yes

[@alabguitar3933]
