Nice video Rob I liked the tip about refusing old materials as filler

Let me know how you get on with it ... I absolutely love it :-)

Is this better than old style flat sanders with sheet?

Yes! I have an old Black and Decker flat sander with a sheet that clips in at either end. The random orbitals are much better (apart from getting into corners :-) ) mostly because of the random element. My old flat B&D isn't random, so with a predictable pattern, it meant that it was much easier to leave a visible sanding pattern. The random orbital has never left a sanding pattern, even when I've left it in the same place for a while, to work on a really big lip/dip. The passive dust collection is also *MUCH* better, i.e. the B&D would only collect dust if you attach a vacuum to it, whereas the Erbauer seems to passively collect about 80% of the dust using magic :-)

@@craftingrob I've previously used an unbranded flat sander and never had experience to use orbital. I also have a mouse sander so that's okay for corners. So definitely look into orbital like this rather old flat?

I would definitely go for random orbital over flat
