Orbital sander for sanding the wood
Orbital sander (random orbital sanding machine) is one sanding machine that is widely used in the woodworking industry. It is a sander machine that use disc a place to attach sandpaper. When it work, the disc will rotate randomly bring its sandpaper in the same action to sanding the wood surface. The random rotation make the sanding process can occur more equally and less sensitive to the grain direction of the wood surface. The sanding process can be more even and smooth run. This makes the sanding can take place better and minimize the risk of swirl marks as the vibrating pad sander. The orbital sander has quite high enough aggressiveness, if it is run with coarse sandpaper it possible to erode the part and form the shape.
The orbital sanding machine using the mechanical action to do sanding with less human power. It reduce the operator work and give the faster and more consistent sanding then the hand sanding.
The orbital sanding is the sanding machine that works very effectively to the sanding process on the raw wood to produce a smooth and flat surface quickly and easy. The orbital sanding machine now is available in a variety of brands and models, each of which has its own specifications. Some machines are equipped with valve to control the speed of rotation (rpm) of the disc. But however this machine is need to be used properly to produce optimum result.

Here are tips to use the orbital sander.
- Avoid too strong pressure when running this machine.
- Use the coarse sandpaper to the finer gradually.
- The orbital hand sander should be used for sanding the flat surface.
- Do the proper movement.
- Replace the sandpaper when it wore already.
The sandpaper work to sand the wood since it has abrasive material in it surface. When it is used then its abrasives materials wear off. The wear off sandpaper has no more ability to cut the wood. It will only rub and polish the wood to make the wood fibers lye down without being cut. The wood fibers will stand up in the stain application and make the blotchy color. So avoid using the wear off sandpaper, make sure that you use the good sandpaper that is still available to cutting the wood fibers.
Thanks for the tips! It took me a while to get on the "proper movement" with the orbital sander but once you do, it really makes a lot of difference in the results and the effort needed to get things done.
