Since they are both priced near the same range, would I be better off
getting a 1/4 Sheet finish sander or a Random Orbit sander? Also, are the
Porter Cable finish sanders recommended, or is something else preferred?
Thanks!


I like the pc sticky back paper sanders. the paer comes in rolls and you
just sick it on and cut to length and push the paper punch plate on the
bottom for dust collection. It's a lot faster than messing around with the
clamps on a 1/4 sheet sander. Paper changes take about 10 seconds with
peeling off the old paper and cutting and sticking and punching the new
paper. And it's square so it does corners. After using it once I swore I'd
never buy another 1/4 sheet again. What a PITA.


I have the PC 1/4 sheet.

After I got use to working the clips it wasn't that bad.

I had considered getting a 'stick-um' sander but one look at the price
of the paper, and being the cheap ******* I am, I went with the 1/4 sheet.

Plus I feel I have a far greater selection of papers, and I don't have
to worry about adhesive backed papers being 'out of stock'. And if you
use good paper you don't have to change it as often.
