Random Orbit Sanders
Hi
Having bought a cheapo ROS to try, I'm hooked big time and am going to buy a quality model. Most seem to have a 3mm orbit, but I've seen one at 5mm. What's the score on the orbit size? Is a bigger orbit better or just better at something? Dave |

This has dual 3mm and 6mm orbit which can be used according to application - smaller for fine finish and larger for more material removal. The vibration from this sander is very low to the point that I can use it for most of the day without getting tingling fingers. Dust collection is quite good into the integral bag but even better if a vacuum attachment is used. Cost is approx £130, incl. -- ..andy To email, substitute .nospam with .gl |
