A random orbital sander or polisher is a power tool that uses a rotating and oscillating motion to sand or polish surfaces. The random orbital motion helps to prevent swirl marks and produces a more even finish than a traditional sander. Random orbital sanders are commonly used for a variety of tasks, including:
- Removing paint or varnish
- Smoothing rough surfaces
- Polishing metal or plastic
- Buffing wax
They are available in a variety of sizes and speeds, so it is important to choose the right sander for the job.
