Versatile enough to handle both detail work and heavy material removal, these are a disc and belt sander in one. The disc sander smooths edges, while the belt sander removes a lot of material on large surfaces. Adjustable belt tracking lets you maintain proper tension.

For a more consistent finish than rotary or orbital disc sanders, these move sanding discs in small irregular circles to prevent swirl marks. Also known as random orbital sanders. They work with either adhesive-back discs or hook and loop discs.

With rapid back and forth movements in a straight line, these sanders remove more material than random orbital sheet sanders. Adjust their speed to fit your task. Higher speeds remove material quickly; lower speeds prevent damage and burns to delicate material. Rectangular in shape, they reach into corners and fit along edges better than disc sanders. A dust collection system draws dust through the sanding pad and into a collection canister. This keeps your work surface clean and reduces the amount of dust flying in the air. These sanders may leave scratches on your surface because they're moving so quickly. You can remove those scratches by sanding with a finer grit. Sanding sheets are sold separately.

Compact and lightweight, these combination sanders are best for small projects and touch-ups. The disc sander smooths edges on small features, while the belt sander removes more material over a larger surface area. The belt on these sanders tilts, so you can use it horizontally or vertically. Use the miter gauge to position your workpiece on the table, so you can sand at an angle. These sanders also have a port that connect to a dust collector or vacuum system. This removes particles from the air and the surface of the disc and belt to extend their life. A belt-release lever enables you to quickly swap out your belt. Use them with sanding belts and adhesive-back sanding discs.

Sand curved, contoured, and complex surfaces, such as table legs or inside holes. The spindle on these sanders oscillates while it rotates so you can use the full abrasive surface of the sanding sleeve. This motion reduces the risk of burning your workpiece and helps the sleeve last longer. The table tilts down 45° to create beveled edges. Connect these sanders to a dust collector or vacuum system to clear away debris from your workspace and prevent your sander from clogging. These sanders are small enough to fit on your workbench.

They include different sizes of spindles and table inserts for a variety of jobs. The spindles are threaded on one end, so they're easy to change out. The table inserts install around the spindle to prevent dust and debris from falling into the motor. A built-in storage rack keeps the spindles and table inserts handy.

For even wear across the sanding belt, these sanders move the belt up and down as it rotates. This dual motion reduces clogs, prevents overheating, and makes the belt last longer. The backing plate behind the belt has a graphite coating to reduce heat further. Position these sanders at the angle you need to best access your workpiece. Set the belt flat to sand long, flat surfaces or at a 90° angle to sand edges. It can also be tilted to any angle in between for beveling. To finish contoured surfaces, press your material against the outer drum.

These sanders have adjustable belt tracking, which lets you maintain proper belt tension. For quick belt changes, there’s a belt-release lever. If you want to connect them to a dust collector or vacuum system, they have a dust extraction port. Use with sanding belts (sold separately).

Battery powered for portability, these sheet sanders handle quick jobs where you don’t have access to an air or electric power source. Shaped for rectangular sanding sheets, they reach into corners and sand edges better than disc sanders. They move in small circles for a lighter sand than random orbital sanders and don’t vibrate much, so you can use them on delicate workpieces. However, because they move in consistent circles, they may leave light swirl marks on your surface. The variable-speed motor lets you set the speed for any task, from heavy material removal to delicate surface sanding.

These sanders have a built-in vacuum to remove dust from the air and surface of the sanding sheet to extend its life. All include a dust collection bag. To make your sanding sheet compatible with the vacuum holes of the sander, use the included sandpaper punch.

Dissipate electrostatic discharge (ESD) for safety when sanding. These sanders have a copper ground wire to divert ESD away from users, sensitive equipment, and combustible materials. They’re often used for sanding across multiple materials—such as wood to fiberglass—as doing so can generate harmful static. Connect the copper wire to the ground of either a vacuum system or an outlet. These sanders also have two 1-megaohm resistors for protection in case there’s accidental contact with an electrical current.

Also known as random orbital sanders, these sanders move in small irregular circles. No single part of the abrasive follows the same path twice, resulting in a swirl-free finish. This leaves a more consistent finish than rotary or orbital disc sanders. To prevent clogs and remove debris from your environment, attach these sanders to a vacuum system. Designed for heavy duty applications, these sanders are powerful enough to quickly remove lots of material without getting bogged down. And they’re lightweight, so they’re easy to control and won’t tire you out after long periods of use. Use with hook and loop sanding discs.

When you can’t access an outlet or air compressor, these battery-powered sanders tackle quick sanding jobs. Often used for smoothing spot welds, the narrow belt squeezes into corners, grooves, and other tight areas. Turn the speed dial with your thumb as you sand to adjust how much material you’re removing. These sanders have brushless motors, which means fewer parts, less friction, and slower wear compared to brushed motors. The LED light illuminates your surface as you work. All require sanding belts.
