Belt Sanders

About Belt Sanders

From refinishing wooden furniture to sanding down drywall seams, power belt sanders get the job done quickly, leave a smooth finish and help save you from back breaking work. You can determine which type of power sander will suit you best by identifying the type of material you’ll be working with and how much you’ll be sanding.

A belt sander is a powerful solution for larger projects or more frequent sanding. Belt sanders require a steady hand, however, for they can quickly cut deeper into a surface on the side where pressure is more heavily applied. 

Orbital sanders can handle large and small-scale projects as well, but are more forgiving when uneven pressure is applied. In addition, they leave a much smoother finish because they never follow the same sanding pattern twice in their rotation.

Finally, a palm sander is a great option for small scale jobs or working in tight areas. Though not quite as powerful as orbit or belt sanders, since palm sanders are comparably smaller, they can also fit address curved surfaces more easily. In addition to providing increased project efficiency, many power sanders also collect residual dust while in use.
