Best random orbit sander

Depending on your budget I would stay far away from the Mouse shaped sanders the are very low end and are not a long term tool. I have 7 ROSs and my Favorite is a Milwaukee,it’s priced well and works the bet of all the others I have even sanders that cost twice as much.

thamkyou guys i am gonna research the Dynabrade Spirit airdriven sounds quality length of service to me i like working on mechanical thing also preventive maintinance would be pretty easy on those i suspect. the 7 P’s proper prior planing prevent piss poor performance.

Love my Dynabrade Spirit BUT you do need a large compressor to run it. Whatever ROS you get, Abranet discs will improve both speed and dust collection. Norton 3X is also excellent. Poor paper on a great sander=poor results!

Bosch makes one with a HEPA filter that you can actually see the dust getting sucked up. About $69 at Lowes. I own one, my favorite out of 8.

The best bang for your buck in a true ros is the rockwell they offer two models the one draw back is you need to buy their paper but the thing has no vibration on your hand and the dust colection is second to none you caN BUY IT ON AMAZONfor under a cnote delivered stock up on your paper i buy mine in the 50 sheet boxes the first thing about the sander is the paper lasts 5 times longer than any other paper out there and theb no vibration means you can sand longer with out getting tired I love mine I cant wait to test the new variable speed sander it looks like another winner for sure. I am writing my review of this up this week but i tossed out two old sanders after using this one for the past few months
