No, I was referring to the orbital sanders especially made for
floors, that are safer to use than the drum sanders.

My brother has refinished hardwood floors in four rooms in his home. The first
two with the drum and the second two with a large orbital. He said the orbital
was hands down easier to use and did just as good a job. Might need to change
the sheets more often was the only "con".

Big plus was the orbital gets much closer to the perimiter of the room. Way
less edge work.
