Not a question of which is better, they are not designed for the same use. The orbital is better for sanding large areas and not leaving any swirl marks. The palm sander is for lighter duty finish work typically over smaller areas.

Great point. Thank you

@will8131 3 месяца назад

u can use the palm sander for the same things you can use the orbital and if ur making swirl marks use a higher grit or stop edging 😂

Very helpful. You mentioned that the pad on the palm sander was starting to wear. I'm wondering if that can be replaced to rejuvenate the sander. Thanks.

@DIYMAN 2 года назад

I’m not sure. I’ll have to look into that

Which one is better for painting (car/bike) works?

@ccbowers Год назад

You've compared 2 different sanders and 2 different sandpapers simultaneously, so you can't really draw performance conclusions. The 3M sandpaper is far superior to whatever comes with the Black and Decker. The newer ceramic based 3M sandpapers (especially the net/mesh style) are especially great. Cubitron branded 3M

Had escaped an unboxing video before watching this at first was like oh shi- here we go again but alas you share the same sentiment for unboxing vids. Good video btw was helpful.

I purchased a used one as the piece is a bit pricey, but the machine ru-vid.comUgkxG6fbm3cHBd7CNTjk5D-dwYe9c9tCB9ZN has surpassed my expectations. We sand small parts by hand often, sized around 1"x1/2," and specifically look for a piece that's designed to be vertical. The motor has plenty of torque and great speed settings. The only inconvenience I had is that the disk measures 5" where we trim 6" stick-and-sand disks down easily by mounting it then cutting with a box cutter.

True

@chriss2295 3 месяца назад

If you can only buy one, get the 1/4 sheet palm sander simply because you can tackle large areas too. The square shape lets you get into corners. Orbitals have a tendency to wander all over the place. If you get both, that's ideal. Wait for deals .

@John_Fx 2 года назад

When you are cycling through sandpaper grits it is much faster to use the hook and loop sandpaper.

@DIYMAN 2 года назад

Definitely

@judyl.761 Год назад

Apples vs oranges because Dewalt is so much better than awful Black & Decker.

Hey I just saw on a diy hack to clear the sawdust on sandpaper use an eraser on it to remove sawdust. I would try it but don't have a sander YET!

@DIYMAN 2 года назад

I’m going to have to try this! Thanks!

A brass or steel wire brush works well too.

@paulthompson1654 Год назад

Looking at palm sander your Dewalt or harder to get Makita BO4556K [dust bag issue small diameter connection ] or the also hard to get expensive Bosch GSS 140-1A. How well does the Dewalt collect dust ?? Other reviews say its a problem , do u agree ??

@DIYMAN Год назад

Well, I’ve never noticed a huge problem, but you also have to use the hole maker it comes with before it will collect dust. I bet those people aren’t using it

@paulthompson1654 Год назад

@@DIYMAN hi Just purchased the Dewalt collects dust like my 6inch Random orbital 50-70% . Dust collection 8 outta 10 . Bag attachment is way way better than Makita [small hole=hard to empty with only a spring retainer clip]. Paint prep 8 outta 10 . Gets the job done just a little slow [ to be expected ] . Good Long cord . Paper install good . Good power does NOT load motor when used with 60g paper . Cheers for your help .

@paulthompson1654 Год назад

My 6 inch R/O Bosch [blue industrial version ] GEX 150 AC Professional Variable Speed is faster on bigger jobs than the Dewalt 1/4 sheet , But the smaller unit I will use for detail work /paint prep . Different applications .

@HerbertAtkinson Год назад

So do you think that the palm sander would be better to use over the orbital sander to sand the fascia boards around my house? I always hear that orbital Sanders can leave swirl marks in the wood, what do you suggest sir?

@DIYMAN Год назад

Yes. They can both leave marks like that, but it’s a lot easier to sand with the grain with a palm sander

@PropurtysChannel 4 месяца назад

Sorry for late comment. Just wanted to clarify, a random orbital sander is supposed to remove most visible swirl patterns due to its random nature. A regular orbital sander is essentially the same as a palm sander I'm pretty sure. So to limit swirls, random orbital is likely your best bet.

@Natefirethemagnets 3 года назад

You can tilt a random orbit sander to hit tough spots. Gives you more pressure at the edge. Have done this for twenty years without issue.

@DIYMAN 3 года назад

Thanks for the comment! I was able to put some pressure on the edge of the random orbital sander but not quite as much as the palm sander because that is when the sandpaper started to walk on me. Do you have an issue with this? If not, what brand of sandpaper do you use?

@vishanthgp 5 месяцев назад

Tilt the random orbital sander to get the edges eh???? My dear sir, if you have done this and leave a flawless finish, you are amazing. I am a hobbyist and a relatively new to woodworking. I will make this quick and easy, I dont have the guts to try that stunt sir. I am too scared to ruin my Pieces.

@pikachuthegayatheist6215 Год назад

I don’t know I don’t I like the sheet sander too much. I always have problems using sheets sanders. If sheet came off, it was always a b**** to get it back on. Random orbital sander, I never had that problem with.

Nije pošteno. Dvije vrste brusnog papira (60 i 120) od dva različita proizvođača. Ko se imalo razumije u obradu drveta znao je u startu koji će biti rezultat ali ne zbog stroja nego zbog papira.

@julietphillips1991 3 года назад

The DeWalt 1/4 sheet palm sander is the sander I use and I have never felt the urge to replace it, and of course I like that the sheet costs less than the "velcro" one. Maybe one day I will have both.

@DIYMAN 3 года назад

Yeah, I really like mine. My wife found this random orbital sander on sale for $10 so I had to go for it

@neog3461 Год назад

This is totally wrong i think. Especially when using large grit sand papers. Orbit sander is better in that case and for finishing purposes(using fine sand papers) sheet sander is better. (I don't have much experience but this is what I felt)

@RechadTheArtist1980 2 года назад

Definitely not a good comparison those Sanders are two different Sanders for a reason🤣..... then you're going to put a Black & Decker up against a DeWalt??? Laughs out Loud..... you might want to throw that lil $29 orange thing away and get you a real orbital Sander atleast Dewalt or Makita.... and if your balling get you a Mirka sander..... but anyhow keep up the awesome consumer reporting👍🏽💯

@DIYMAN 2 года назад

Thanks man! I appreciate the comment! I agree, it may not have been the fairest comparison, but hopefully people are getting value out of the video somehow. Lol. I would like to upgrade the orbital soon, I don’t like how the paper drifts. I’m just curious if brand name sanders do the same?
