Sander Deals & Offers

Hi, M/S is the measurement they use to assess vibration. HSE has a calculator, but basically less is better :) For something sensibly priced, I would highly recommend the Makita M9204 Random Orbit. Random orbits give the best level of finish, but being circular means they cannot get into corners etc. It's low rating for vibration too (I think 3.5 m/s). If you specifically need to get into corners, go for a 1/4 or 1/3 sheet sander. The Makita M9203 is about £35 on Amazon, so again well priced. The Bosch green PSS 250 AE is another option and £45 from B&Q. Ideal world, you would have both - A random orbit and a sheet/finishing sander. But the red Makita stuff is generally good quality for the price - older Makita pro designs, but made in China rather than Japan.

Hello, what is m/s , just so as I know. And is there one You would recommend . not necessarily at this price ? Thanks (y)

It's a good price, but cheap sanders can are pretty unusable due to vibration. This is 9.6m/s which is probably the highest I have seen on a sander. A have a couple Bosch sanders - the random orbit is 2.5 m/s (admittedly, it's best in class) and the tri sander like this is 5 m/s. Worth being aware of - you shouldn't be using something like this for longer than 30 mins at a time.

Had one of these for about 15 yrs. Great little DIY sander.

I want one of these!!!

Have to agree, even with modest use the velcro pad starts falling apart.

WORX, sometimes stylized as Worx, is a line of lawn and garden equipment and power tools owned and distributed by the Positec Tool Corporation, a manufacturing company based in Suzhou, China, with North American headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina

The power of a once-great brand name! B&D isn't what it used to be; it's Chinese rubbish these days . I've had one of these and one of their saws fail after limited use (I did manage to get my money back on the saw). WORX do a far superior one for just a little more money.

i ordered one on 26th April and it arrived today, 8 days total isn't to shaby :)

Nice deal. Thanks for this @Shay991

It is not understanding that palm Sanders are generally used with finer paper for final finishing or detail work

I have to agree, they're worlds apart.

Out of curiosity, what do people use palm sanders for now? Haven't touched mine in 10 years since I got a random orbit sander.

It comes with a clip in dust bag which works well so vacuum dust extraction isn't a must. If its going to be used solely in one place it might be beneficial to save a few pound and buy the corded but the cordless really is great to grab and go and plenty of power to replace a corded fully, kills two birds in my opinion (y)

Is a corded version not better? Won't you be using with dust extraction anyway? Genuine question. Got some cabinets and a dining table to sand down

AVE is also a good one on YouTube

Yes. An all inclusive kit will set you back closer to £300

Bare!

" Normally over £100 . . " sure , back in the 90's . Had 3 of these .

Can be run upside-down which is a real bonus

Agree with this. It's a great item, belts are cheap and easy to use

Remember to use dust extraction

Bought one of these when it was on offer at Amazon for £66 a few weeks ago. Excellent product and handles very well. A good buy even at the current price!
