Whoever said a picture is worth one thousand words was right on! Thank you for taking your time to educate me.

That was the perfect way to demonstrate the difference between the various sanding options Peter; excellent choice and really clearly explained as usual.

I have been using a belt sander to clean up a painted fence to get it ready for new paint. I have done a few panels, but I am glad I ran into your video. I have an orbital sander and will switch to this for the rest of the job. Sounds like it will work a lot better.

Marvellous way to demonstrate a simple function like sanding but a very dysfunctional machine sanding market. Thank you for clearly explaining all these different sanders and avoid a lot of disappointment and unnecessary expense. This video combined with others regarding sanding techniques has really helped me to understand that such a simple job can be quite intricate and skillful to achieve superb finishes. 👏

What I can’t understand is why you only have 44K subscribers. This is a really excellent channel full of useful woodworking information. You deserve better!

Belt sanders for cleaning up floors and rough timber are amazing - just use with care !!

@febez

Yes, it is excellent for rough timber. If you you're just starting out using only hand tools and can not afford a planer, thicknesser, or table saw, and have to make do with structural rough timber, a belt sander is ideal used in conjunction with a hand held planer.

Thanks, gold explaination and like the way you demonstrated the effects on a painted board.

Great way to start Saturday morning..now feel knowledge'd up for some serious sanding action!👍 Thank you!

Extremely helpful video. The painted board samples were invaluable. Thank you!

Slowly expanding my tool collection and I'm ready to take the plunge and buy a sander. Thank you so much for this video! It was so helpful!

Great video Peter, I have almost exactly what you recommend. I have a Dewalt 1/4 sheet palm sander and a very old BOSCH PEX 400 and both have handled every job from paint stripping to de nibbing MDF paint finishes around the house. Looking forward to Monday, as I will be downloading the MEASURING UP podcast, so I can listen when I go back to my rusty metal second home in the middle of the North Sea. Keep up the good work my friend.

Great video Peter! One of those areas of knowledge that I kind of understood but not as fully as I should have. The painted board is an excellent way of demonstrating and clarifying it all. Especially I never knew what made the Rotex distinctive (and now, of course, I want one!) . I also very rarely need my belt sander 👍

Excellent and enlightening! I started with a 5-inch sander, but hardly ever use it now that I have a 6-inch ROS. Last time was for sanding overhead since it's lighter weight. My 6-inch sander also has an optional 5-inch pad that you can change out. Thanks for the clarification on the finishing sanders and the scratch patterns on all of them. My oscillating multi-tool has some triangular sanding attachments, and I don't find them very useful. But in a specialized project I can see that they'd come in handy.

Great video!!!! My house’s paint is in terrible shape, and I am currently sanding all of the paint off. When I first started my project, I did little research. I ended up using a random orbit sander, which was too delicate and was not removing material well. Thanks to your video, and after lots of research, I realize orbital sanders are best for my application.

I’m just sort of learning about the bigger world of sanding and this video was perfect in explaining and SHOWING the differences. Thank you so much for sharing this, Peter!

Another great video, thanks. I just ordered my random orbital sander while gently kicking myself for all the sanding blunders I've been making.

Thank you for the well illustrated explanation about sanders. I now have a better understanding about these tools. A list of the sanders in an illustrated summary would be useful with the best application. If you don't have space limitations, keep them all the sanders, you just never know until you come up against a problem. What tool would offer the best solution.

Brilliant explanation. Thank you.

Been waiting for this one. There's always been the shelf of sanders in the background and the odd titbit of wisdom slipped in over the last couple of years. Great, simple way of showing the differences, thanks. I was always very dismissive of the need for quality sanders and have very mediocre examples of the common types. Definitely going to invest a bit more thought (and cash) from now on. Thanks ever so much, as always.

Very informative video; lots of technical knowledge I was ignorant of. For some of us DIY involves a goodly proportion of tasks other than cabinet work and fine finishing (so not always working to secure a flat plane, and often working to secure what is an acceptable compromise/organic surface finish, maybe more outdoor than indoor projects). Maintenance, repair and recycling is a good part of what I do; and there belt sanders (flattening large-scale glue ups; cleaning up much-used work surfaces; floors, roof-work) and flap-disks on angle-grinders come into their own. I also like mouse sanders, albeit they don't last long.

Having to many sanders is something you solve by adding more storage! Two more I like beyond those you reviewed are the DTS400 and the RAS115. The Delta is a nice "do it all" for certain jobs and the RAS is just a material removal brute! Something I've recently found useful .. strip discs on an angle grinder. I've only come across them recently and I've found them to be a great way to remove paint.

I never thought about a linear sander. I just bought a house from the 1800 and it has all original windows and some of the stair rails need to be redone. Thank you I will look into this

Thank you!

That, Peter, was the most useful explanation of the variety of sanders that I have ever come across. Extremely valuable to me, who is considering buying a random orbital sander, but not understanding exactly why I need one. Thanks to you I now know what sander will do what job. BTW I have one of those old B & D sanders still! Often wondered why it was not much good!... Well done. Looking forward your next Measuring Up blog, which I have missed during the summer break.Could you and Andy consider doing it weekly rather than fortnightly, please?

I have a few sanders and all get a use. I find the detail sander good for corners.

Good video!!! Just one remark: The first sander does not make an oscillating circular movement around one center point as you explained. This would give longer curved scratches at the edge of the paper than in the center, which is not the case! Instead all the grains make the same small circular movements over the whole paper surface.
