Sanders are used to sand wood and similar products, painted surfaces, metal, stone, etc.
There are sanders of various different shapes in order to do specific jobs:
• The delta sander or triangular sander ideal for restoration work such as the sanding of shutters (louvre shutters) or
staircases. Thanks to its shape, it can get into tight angles. It is compact and easy to use.
• The vibrating sander recommended for sanding flat surfaces such as doors or furniture. Move the sander slowly and
regularly, in the direction of the wood fibres.
• The orbital sander which enables you to sand, buff or polish, using the suitable accessories. It is precise and manoeuvrable,
and can be used on surfaces that are not flat. It is a very versatile machine. Move the sander with slow and regular circular
movements.
• The belt sander is used to take off much more material and to sand wide surfaces such as wooden floors. The belt moves
longitudinally and sands this way. Therefore, work in the direction of the wood fibres, without pressing down on the machine.
Hold the machine tight, because it is a powerful tool. Attention, if you leave the tool in one place, there is a risk that you will
carve out a hollow in what you are sanding.
• When you are positioning the abrasive belt, ensure that it does not block the inlet holes (if the machine has any)
• Generally speaking, it is better to begin with coarse grain sandpaper (e.g. A40) and move up to finer grained papers (e.g.
A120). The basis weight is inversely proportional to the abrasive power.
• The adjustment of the speed, if you machine has this equipment, enables you to adapt the speed of vibration to the material
you are working with. For example, you need to use a low speed for stripping, in order to prevent heating or liquidising the
paint, which would damage the sandpaper.
• It is better to hook your machine up to a vacuum cleaner in order to collect as much dust as possible
