That's to make sure that I haven't sent you to sleep 😉

I have both, find the finishing sander removes more surface whilst keeping it level. But it'd too heavy and I dislike the sheet paper. So I use the orbital 99% of the time, due to its convenient size and quick swap paper feature.

Thank you for your comment, I think you'll find most people agree with what you said, including me 👌

This video is exactly what I was looking for. I am looking to buy a Makita sander to remove the varnish so I can restore the outdoor furniture and the deck. Would you still go with the orbital please? I am curious to know how well they do in the corners. I am assuming the finishing sander will have the upper hand? Thanks for taking the time to produce the video!

The Orbit is the best all rounder and will remove more material more quickly than the finishing sander. But be careful not to cut into the wood. Easily done, especially if using an 80 grit. Corners, I would use a multi tool myself, generally useless as sanders, but in tight corners they come into their own. You have more control.

I have two cordless palm sanders one for each hand

Skil has a Brushless Cordless 5" Random Orbital sander.... they call it PWRCORE 20.

Thank you, I'll have to look into that. I thought the PWRCORE 20 was the battery platform they use?

After watching this from six months ago, you had one fatal flaw in the testing. The orbital sander was running at its lowest speed, the the other one you could clearly hear was running at a faster speed. Redo the test with the orbital at speed 3 and it will tear the pants off the other one

If you notice, I only pushed the power button once. Both machines start with full power and reduce depending how many times you push the button. The sound produced by both machines is different, they're different types of sander, which I kind of the point. Thanks for watching, spotting things I've missed helps me to improve, when I've missed something 👍😉

Great video

You can buy the Makita tools as bare units (like I did because I already own batteries and charger) or they come as kits.

@@VW_Fan something sounds very wrong there. The sander uses the LXT 18v. If yours do not fit, then I would assume the sander is faulty. Where did you purchase it from? Have you tried different batteries you own?

Would be nice if you explained before you put on the mask, or do a voice over, you sounded like Bane from Batman lol, otherwise a good video.

Rectangle vibrating sanders are pretty useless

@ChampionsOfTheTrade

It really depends on what result you're after. The Rectangle or Finishing sander, is far less likely to cut into the surface than an orbit, leaving a smoother finish.

Nice try
