What kind of sander is best for finishing

[@BravoServicesInc]

Thank you for taking the time to put this various sanders video together and sharing it with public we greatly appreciate your effort. Very helpful tips especially for those that are shopping for sanders and don't know what to get for what purpose. Thanks for sharing once again. Great video.

[@MatSmithLondon]

I’m interested in the difference between “least you call “finish sanding” and “sanding a finish”. I think I can figure out the difference but would be interesting to hear more

[@PntrGrl]

How about some brand names on these, more info? What was the one around the center that doesn't move. It had a bag on it. Does it collect the sawdust? I want one for delicate work as a decorative artist. I need one that can go into corners, do edges etc.

[@BradAngove]

That one is a Mikita. But it sounds to me like you would be better off with an oscillating multi tool. You can get small triangular sanding attachments for them.

[@johnnyjacob1156]

Hey Brad, thanks for the video, really really informative..Good to hear from some one who makes his hands dirty :-). I am just confused between Orbital vs Random Orbital Sander. I am a DIY guy and I just need a sander to sand my furniture, kitchen cabinets, Wooden Window frames and doors for repainting and re-staining. So kindly suggest the best one that suits my requirement. I am a first timer, never used a hand sander/palm sander. All I need is a sander that eases my workload to prepare the wood to restain and repaint. Manual labour is really difficult to achieve smoothness which I have been doing right now, I would be really happy to hear from you. Appreciate the video, like to see more videos like this from you. Thanks.

[@BradAngove]

I’d go with a random orbital. The other ones are sometimes fixed gear orbitals that rip material off way too quickly.

So what you're essentially saying about the sheet sander at 2:53 is this sander is ideal for prep sanding up to the point before I begin applying paint?

[@BradAngove]

That's what I generally use it for.

[@edgarsmoonrocks1562]

That last tool is a Dynabrade Spirit ROS 12k rpm.

[@pumaamore]

I was about to ask. Thanks man.

[@Noname-lk2ol]

PLEASE HELP!!!! I have a question. I'm about to buy a $150 dynablade. But I would rather buy the $30 one from harbor freight (because money obviously). Other than the fact that the dynabrade lasts longer and sucks less air. As far as the end result. Will the polish and finish be the same between the 2?

[@BradAngove]

I think there may be some marginal difference in terms of efficiency, but not in terms of finish. When all is said and done, you can still technically get a smoother finish by hand with a sanding block than you can with any of these.

[@Noname-lk2ol]

Brad Angove Oh ok. Yes I currently finish off all my clearcoats by hand. But I would use it to cut the orange peel down (that usually take me the longest to finish) on my flat panels then finish with a foam block.

[@walkertongdee]

Good video but you did not say what the difference is about the ofset on the RO being the difference between a rapid cut and a finish cut...3/32 being a finish sander ofset...

[@fenrir7969]

Hi Brad. I have some old store bought bedroom furniture that I would like to stain and put varnish or something on. It is unfinished pine and we had to give it a bleach wash when we got it all due to the sate it was in. The wash seems to have made the surface rough and I'm not sure what the best way would be to prep the wood for stain? Do I need to sand it with fine grit on some kind of electric sander or could I just get away with using one of those steel wool alternatives to smooth things over?

[@BradAngove]

The wash probably raised the grain. Your best bet is to sand it smooth.

[@luisalonsocarrillocastro9667]

How mutch air the last one need? can i use a small compresor for that

[@BradAngove]

Small compressors generally have trouble keeping up with that sort of tool.

hey, good video

[@BradAngove]

Thank you.

[@DynamicRockers]

Hi Brad, I need to refinish the spruce top of a vintage acoustic guitar. Would you recommand sanding in circular motion or in line to remove the finish? Then once on the wood itself, in order to smooth/prepare it for the new clear coat finish, would you go for a circular or in-line motion? I remember you talked about circular vs in-line sanding but can't figure out which video it is. thanks a lot! Damien

[@BradAngove]

Do whatever is comfortable for removing the finish. I often use circular for that aspect. For preparing the top offer ward you should sand in line with the grain.

[@DynamicRockers]

Brad Angove thanks for the advice Brad. I'll go this route. Cheers from Montreal ;)

[@BradAngove]

Cheers my friend.

[@bighands69]

@@DynamicRockers It would depend on the grain of the wood on the guitar. For the best finish on wood you go with the grain and that includes sanding. So that would mean using a sander that moves straight back and forward. Now that is probably not possible on your guitar so you more than likely are going to need to use a random orbital sander that will not leave a uniform sanding pattern that stands out from a mile away. By a vintage acoustic guitar do you mean it is something like a vihuela guitar that is of very high worth or do you mean it is a guitar that is say 60 years old. If it is a really valuable instrument you probably should go to a specialist with a good reputation.

[@mericm]

Hey, I'm doing some research on the best finishing sander for me. I've settled on the random orbital sander. Why do you prefer pneumatic sanders to electric ones?

[@BradAngove]

Mostly just because we have a good air supply in the shop and I dislike wrapping electrical cords around things when I put them away haha.

If it’s too aggressive use a finer grit. Not hard at all.

[@BradAngove]

It’s really not that simple. But feel free to try sanding finish with really fine paper on a belt sander if you want. I’ll just say I don’t recommend it.

[@ELW2940]

I’m a cabinet builder for 35 years. Use a belt sander and Porter Cable random orbit practically every day. I use 180 grit on the bs because it cuts but not too aggressively. Same with orbital, they can be a cutting tool if that’s what you’re looking, but you’re the expert, I’m a mere novice with only 35 years pro experience.

[@eksine]

he's right. I tried using the orbital sander for my car hood and with 400 grit it still leaves swirl marks. using finer grit is not the solution, it's not that easy, Brad is 100% correct. the type of sander is extremely important. your "pro experience" is towards wood, not metal or body work

[@ELW2940]

eksine obviously you’ve never noticed the air powered orbital sanders that body shops use or neither of you would be making such statements. 400 grit is not fine when it comes to body work. I didn’t say my experience was exclusively in wood working. The quality of the paper you’re using also matters. Inexpensive paper doesn’t have well graded grit...meaning some particles may be larger than the stated grade. No orbital sander delivers swirl free sanding...you have to limit it’s appearance with finer grade abrasives or higher numbered abrasives. If you had worked your way through to a finer grit you would have diminished the obvious swirl marks in your car hood.

[@BradAngove]

Louis, I don’t care if you’re using 5000 grit 3M trizact, if you use the wrong type of sander you’re still in for a rough go. Not sure what the point of your 180 example was. This video is clearly about sanding finishes. Not wood. Not metal panels. It doesn’t matter if you use a belt sander every day and get Mirka to custom make you a 4000 grit abralon belt, nobody would use that and there’s a good reason for that.
