Sanders
The Sanders category covers handheld power finishing tools with a motor that drives a pad holding sandpaper in an orbital, random-orbital or belt motion, used to smooth wood and metal surfaces in preparation for painting or finishing. The category includes orbital sanders, belt sanders and random-orbital sanders. Sandpaper sheets and belts are not part of this category; they are consumables supplied separately. Specifications are model-specific.

About this category
Powered sanders are handheld electric finishing tools that transfer motion from a motor to a pad holding sandpaper or a sanding belt, generating a frictional action that smooths the target surface. Sander types differ by pad shape and motion: orbital sanders have a square pad that moves in a small circular motion, random-orbital sanders combine rotation about the pad axis with a random orbit to avoid repetitive patterns on the surface, and belt sanders use a continuous sanding belt rotating around two pulleys. Each type suits different applications: belt sanders are used for rapid material removal on large surfaces, while random-orbital sanders are used for fine finishing. Sanders are available in corded and cordless versions and at various motor ratings. Some models include an internal or external dust extraction system, with systems varying between manufacturers. A handheld sander should not be assumed to replace fixed industrial sanders or stationary planers. Sandpaper sheets, belts and fixed bench sanders are excluded from this category; pneumatic sanders have their own category under Pneumatic Tools. Industrial buyers select sander models based on the target surface type and area, required finish quality, power source, dust extraction system and operator ergonomics for sustained finishing operations in different environments and surface preparation workflows.
