Hi,

So what's the best type of sander for furniture refinishing?

There are so many types and confused by them. (What's the difference
b/w disk and orbital? Oscillating and vibrating?) Rather than figure
all of this out and graduate from the school of sanding with high
honors, can I cheat and just have one of you tell me what the best kind
of sander for refinishing small furnature is? For the open areas and
for the corners? (I heard random orbit is a candidate.)

Thank you!

What kind of furniture? What kind of finish in on them. It all matters for
the *best* sander.
Sometimes a belt sander is king, other time a Fein detail sander is the one
you want. There are others in-between. If I was forced, kicking and
screaming, I settle with a half sheet random orbit and scrap or hand sand
the smaller stuff. Fortunately no one will get any of my sanders until
after the deep digging and sad singing!
