Orbital sander
Orbital sander (random orbital sanding machine) is one the hand sander machine that is widely used in the woodworking industry. This tool is a sander machine with a disc where the sandpaper is attached. 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. This makes the sanding can take place better and not leave swirl marks like on that uses 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 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 we use the sandpaper that is still available to cutting the wood.
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.
