Overview
A random orbit motion moves the pad in tiny overlapping circles while it spins, which cuts without leaving straight scratches. The kit adds a StickFix soft pad, a dust bag and a stackable case.
A kit with a case and pad is ready for furniture and finish work out of the box. The dust bag handles typical shop dust but dust extraction hoses are not named. Speed settings and pad stroke are left out of the listing.
Who it's for
Furniture makers, cabinet shops and serious home workshops that value a stackable case and a dust bag get everything in one package. Beginners watching their budget may prefer a basic sander.
Pros and cons
- Random orbit leaves no straight scratches
- Dust bag included
- StickFix pad changes paper quickly
- Case stores the whole kit
- Speed settings not listed
- Stroke diameter not stated
- Heavy shipping weight listed
- Dust hose size not named
Performance notes
The pad spins while it also oscillates, so each grain of abrasive follows a different path and finish stays even. The soft backing pad conforms to gentle curves. Dust passes through the pad holes into the bag, so the surface stays visible.
