hello,

when would you ideally use each type of sanders? what are these
specifically design for? When is it best to pull out your finishing
sander or orbital sander and lets include the belt sander?

Had a finish sander. When It died, I got a ROS and never looked back. I
have a belt sander. I use it to sharpen the lawnmower blade. Too
aggressive for most woodworking but has a place if a lot of material has to
be removed.
