This collection covers orbital, random orbital, multi-sanders and specialist sanders for wood, filler and paint finishing. It suits furniture makers after a swirl-free finish, DIY renovators sanding walls and surfaces, and anyone upgrading from hand sanding to a powered tool.
Choosing a sander
Random orbital sanders combine a spinning and oscillating motion for a smoother, less directional finish than a basic orbital sander, making them the better choice for final finishing before staining or painting. Pad size and grit range should match the job, with smaller pads suited to detail work and larger pads to flat panels. Dust extraction, either built-in or via a hose connection to an extractor, keeps the work surface visible and cuts airborne dust considerably. Geared eccentric sanders, a step up from standard random orbital models, remove material faster and suit heavier stock removal before finishing.
Brands stocked
The range includes Festool, Makita, Metabo, Bosch Professional, Einhell and Makita MT.
PTS keeps stock in Cape Town with nationwide courier delivery, and staff who use these sanders can help pick the right pad size and dust setup.
