Construction or restoration work requires the purchase of a tool for finishing wood (a wood grinder), but which model should you choose? It depends on its purpose, since the tool is multifunctional. The selection criteria are largely influenced by the characteristics of the surfaces being processed: their size or the complexity of the design with many hard-to-reach places. Equally important is the size of the budget allocated for restoration or construction, as well as the experience of the craftsman and his skills in working with tools for sanding wood.
If you need a sander for home use ( minor repairs, hobby), choose simple and quite budget models.
They are light and small in size. To process large volumes of construction or production work (for example, in a furniture workshop), it would be more successful to purchase powerful units.
The following types of woodworking sanders are distinguished:
- tape;
- vibration;
- eccentric;
- angular;
- renovator;
- brush.
Belt sander
It is advantageous to choose such a tool if you need to effectively remove large layers of material (for example, old paint), grind boards, process cut lines and accurately adjust the surfaces of parts.
These units are very powerful, and if the master does not have enough experience, then there is a danger of ruining the surface being treated. Working with a belt sander requires some skill. But with a little practice, you can quite easily, quickly and efficiently process a large area.
When choosing a grinding machine of this type, you need to make sure that you have the necessary equipment: models manufactured by different manufacturers, are equipped with abrasive belts of various sizes.
Inexpensive models have a basic set of features:
- Speed control switch.
- Thermal protection of the motor.
- A nozzle for connecting a vacuum cleaner (or a dust collector).
Vibration sander
A vibrating machine is a tool for a more “delicate” effect on the surface of the wood. The work surface is often rectangular in shape, which makes it convenient for sanding corners.
The main criteria when choosing this type of machine are:
- Dimensions of the working surface (sole). This parameter directly affects the speed of work performed.
- Sole shape. The rectangular surface can be supplemented with a triangular wedge for working in hard-to-reach places.
- The amplitude of the machine’s movements: as it increases, the processing speed increases. But this may affect the quality of grinding.
- Method of fixing an abrasive surface. There are several possible options: clips, Velcro, a combined method.
- Possibility of adjusting the speed of movement: it may be different for different wood.
- A way to get rid of chips and dust.
The parameters of grinders that you should pay attention to in this case are:
- Platform size (diagonal or triangle area).
- Tool performance, which is directly related to the oscillation frequency (up to 2600 counts/min).
- Weight (about 1 kg)
- Power (most often from 300 to 200 W).
Random orbital sander
An eccentric or orbital machine processes the wood until it is completely polished.
The eccentric machine processes the wood until it is completely polished.
Difficult areas are processed in a different way, often manually. This design is distinguished by a complex trajectory of movement of the working surface: the sole of the machine makes rotational and oscillatory-orbital movements. Pneumatic models are the most convenient to use.
This type of tool is the most expensive. Moreover, pneumatic models of grinders must be equipped with a high-performance compressor. This is not always possible for domestic use. Most often, such a tool is used in production.
If the shape of the surface is triangular (delta grinder), then such a tool is used if it is necessary to work in hard-to-reach places. This makes it possible to avoid manual sanding. The abrasive paper is attached to the base using Velcro, which makes it quick and easy to replace.
The speed of its work is very high. This model brings any detail to perfect smoothness, but it can only be used to work on large and even surfaces.
Additional devices
Angle grinders have high productivity, which is explained by the presence of a powerful drive and high speed of the equipment. However, a significant drawback of the model is the inability to process internal corners. Delta nozzles or renovators are more suitable for grinding them.
The renovator is similar to the delta modification of the vibration machine, but has significantly greater functionality.
The list of its capabilities includes:
- polishing and sanding wood and other materials;
- creating slots;
- cleaning walls and other surfaces from linoleum, tiles, etc.;
- local repairs of power structures and cladding.
A professional tool of this type is equipped with a warning device that notifies with sound signals of excessive load on the surface being processed. Depending on the volume of the surface being processed and the tasks assigned, the master may prefer a model with a two-handed grip. This is convenient if you need to work for a long time. The advantage of one-handed models is their compactness.
Moreover, manufacturers are constantly increasing the number of possible operations performed by the tool. Additional advantages of the renovator are its ability to work both from the network and from a battery, low power consumption, and a very affordable price. Brushing machines do not use an abrasive belt, but metal brushes. This type of tool is convenient for processing large surfaces. It is used to remove old coating.
The features of each unit make it effective in performing certain tasks:
- The belt sander works well on large, flat surfaces, for example, voluminous parts of simple configuration. But this type of tool is not very convenient for processing small items.
- Vibratory grinders have average productivity, are effective for processing parts of various shapes, do not leave marks, and are economical in energy consumption.
- Eccentric models are good for achieving high quality processing: grinding or polishing.
- Renovator or delta modification is a tool for designing furniture. It is also used for work on interior decoration wooden elements.
Such units cannot operate continuously; operation will have to be stopped every 15 minutes. The most universal model is considered to be a belt sander. It is suitable for processing not only wood, but also other types of surfaces (plastic, metal), and can be useful for both professionals and amateur craftsmen. Expensive professional grinders can operate non-stop for a full working day. They also have the function of centering the abrasive belt, which saves material.
To make the work easier, the master can equip the grinding machine with a stand on which the tool is attached. When performing grinding, you can move, rotate, and guide the material itself, and not the heavy unit. If the work continues for a long time, then even if you have a relatively small machine, it is much easier to manipulate the workpiece.
A wood sander is an important and multi-functional tool. It can be used for repair, construction, and restoration of all kinds of wooden products. The sander makes it possible to speed up the process of grinding or polishing wooden surfaces several times, be it walls or floors, furniture or other decorative elements.
Advantages of grinding machines
- Convenience. When working with a grinding machine, there is no fatigue, and your hands do not go numb. This is possible thanks to the ergonomic handles of the unit.
- Compactness. Most machines have small dimensions, which allows the unit to have low weight with great functions.
- Versatility. Using a grinding machine, you can polish or sand both smooth surfaces and, for example, convex ones.
- Accuracy. This tool allows you to quite smoothly and accurately level a wooden surface.
- Speed of execution. This tool is a great time saver compared to manual sanding.
- Perfect result. All elements, from beams to small decorative elements, will have a beautiful, smoothly polished surface.
Basic parameters
Before choosing a tool, you need to understand its main characteristics.
Types of grinding tools
Grinding machines come in different designs and operating principles. These factors depend on their purpose. The following types of sanders can be used to work with wood:
- vibration grinding machine(HSM);
- belt grinder (LSM);
- delta grinder (DSM);
- eccentric (orbital) sander;
- brush grinder.
Vibrating sander
VShM is more often used for fine grinding or polishing of wooden surfaces. This tool is also suitable for removing coating material, varnish or paint. Grinding occurs due to oscillatory circular movements with a small amplitude. In some models, the speed of oscillation and amplitude can be adjusted. Sanding occurs with sheets or circles of sandpaper (whether the abrasive material is a sheet or a circle depends on the model), which are attached with Velcro or a clip.
Belt sander
LSMs are used for initial processing of wood materials, for example, for quickly removing the first layer when sanding or removing outdated paint. This type of sander is also suitable for precise fitting of furniture parts.
The LBM works on the principle of a plane: a circle-shaped belt rotates on rollers and, when pressed, polishes the wooden surface. The layer that is removed from the surface depends on the grain size of the tape. The higher the grain number, the more accurate and thinner the layer being removed.
Advantages of FSM
This type of grinder has a number of advantages:
- processing of rough surfaces, it can be used even for unplaned boards, and you can immediately proceed to sanding;
- can be successfully used in hard-to-reach places, such as corners or curls in decorative items:
- precise fitting or trimming of parts along the marking line;
- using a blade, you can level the wooden surface or give it the desired shape;
- allows you to make a smooth rounding of elements.
In order to choose a LSM, you must first decide for what purposes you will use it in the future. The main distinguishing factor of blade grinders is the classification of abrasive belts that are suitable for use with a sander. Minimal LSM options can work with tapes only 6.3 cm wide. Their advantage is that they are very light in weight and can be used with one hand. Larger brothers can work with belts up to 12 cm wide. They can be used to work on large areas. They are ideal for leveling. The best option for the home craftsman, there may be an option for a tape machine that works with a 760 mm tape.
The next parameter for choosing a LSM is the duration of its use. If you need it for light work, such as finishing small items or hobbies, then a simple inexpensive machine may be suitable for this. For construction, it is better to take a more serious option. Naturally, it costs more, but they, as a rule, do not wear out quickly and the proverb “The miser pays twice” is very suitable.
When choosing a LSM, you should also pay attention to its additional parameters:
- rotation speed adjustment;
- automatic centering of the belt (prevents the abrasive from flying off the rollers);
- dust collector
Delta grinder
This is a type of vibration grinding machine. It has the same operating principle - vibration movements. The main difference between this type of grinding machine is the shape of the working element. It is shaped like a triangle or delta (hence the name). This machine can be used to sand corners or hard-to-reach areas such as recesses or protrusions.
Random orbital sander
The second name is orbital sander. This tool is similar in operating principle to a VSM. The difference is that eccentric machines are more productive, grinding is more accurate and finer, and the principle of operation itself occurs due to the complex trajectory of the moving element. Grinding occurs with a disk with a diameter of 15 cm. Abrasive wheels of different grain sizes are attached to the disk using Velcro.
Operating eccentric grinders
This type of grinding tools has a significant drawback: education large quantity dust. Manufacturers understand this and are working to improve the tools. Some models have dust collectors. This model can easily be used indoors. Therefore, if you plan to work indoors, it is better to take this into account when choosing and look for models with dust collectors.
Brush sander
The main difference between brush grinding tools is that the working part is not a sandpaper, but a brush mainly made of metal. Therefore, such a tool is not suitable for grinding or polishing. It is used for removing coatings. The wood brush sander is designed to work on large areas, such as removing varnish from parquet, updating furniture or other large objects.
This type of grinding machine is also used to “aging” wood. With the help of a hard brush, the wood is given an ancient look, and such an element looks antique.
What to pay attention to when choosing a tool such as a grinder.
When choosing, weigh all the above nuances. You should not be guided only by the price or advertising of the grinding machine. Don't be lazy read the specifications and do not hesitate to ask the consultant about points of interest. After all, you are not acquiring an assistant for just one day.

IN A wood sander is a must-have in a home craftsman's arsenal. It is difficult to do without this convenient tool when doing repair work in a house or apartment. Sanding and polishing wooden floors, walls or furniture takes a lot of time and effort. A grinder will not only make the task much easier, but will also help you get the job done much better. What types of machines are there, what purposes are they intended for, and how to choose the best tool?
The sander will help you process any wooden surface for painting or varnishing.
Grinding equipment is divided into several subtypes. They differ in their operating principle and design features.
Types of grinders:
- tape - rough processing of wooden planes;
- vibration – used for soft processing;
- eccentric – designed for polishing;
- delta sander - has a specific, triangular shape of the sole.
Belt sander for wood
Such grinders are considered one of the most powerful tools. They help to process large surfaces without much effort.
The surface treated with this tool becomes smooth and even. The tape on the machine is fixed on two rotating rollers. The rotation speed of the tape depends on the power of the machine and can vary from seventy-five to five hundred revolutions per minute. The tool has the ability to adjust the speed.
The functionality of the device depends on the width and length of the tape. The craftsman needs to have abrasives of different grits on hand to use tools for roughing and finishing the surface.
Useful advice! When choosing a tape for a tool, you need to make sure that it is elastic, does not have uneven edges and has strong, perfect joints.
The set of sanders of this type includes a dust bag. It is attached to the shaft and collects sawdust and wood dust.
Working with tape machine requires some skills. Before you start working on an important part, it is worth practicing on test surfaces. A novice craftsman should pay attention to models that have a frame for controlling the depth of processing.
Vibration sander
This device will be needed for finishing and polishing the material. This device processes not only wood, but also metal, stone and plastic. The basic principle of operation of the machine is forward-return movements at high speed and with low amplitude.
Useful information! The greater the amplitude, the deeper the grinding; the smaller, the better quality it is.
The oscillating wood sander has a standard rectangular base. Some models have removable work surfaces in the shape of a triangle; they are convenient for processing corner elements.
To attach the abrasive material to the tool, two types of fastening are used:
- clamps are a reliable option for fastening any size;
- Velcro - allows you to quickly and easily change the abrasive.
Vibrating machines, like belt machines, have adjustable speeds and a dust collector. It is believed that a plastic bag, unlike a fabric bag, is more effective. The main advantage of vibrating machines is that they help to efficiently process small parts and objects of complex shape (frames, railings, doors).
Eccentric and delta machines
An eccentric wood sander has a round sole that is attached with Velcro. They operate with such a device by rotating around an axis or in orbit. That is why this tool is sometimes called an orbital sander in retail outlets.
The principle of operation of the device is the simultaneous performance of rotational and reciprocating movements. Such machines do an excellent job with curved surfaces and perform grinding and high-quality polishing of any material. Differences in different models of eccentric tools in power and possible amplitude of work. A delta machine is a highly specialized device. It is designed to work in difficult-to-reach areas and on corner surfaces. As with all other grinding devices, the quality of the device depends on its operating power.
Useful information! It is better for a novice master to purchase a device with sound indicator pressing. This will prevent damage to the material.
The best manufacturers and models of grinders
It often happens that a wood sander, the price of which seems quite reasonable, actually has the same functions and settings as a cheaper device. How to make a choice in this situation?
It is better to purchase tools from manufacturers that are known to a wide mass of consumers and have proven the reliability of their products. Most popular brands:
- Makita;
- Bosh;
- DeWalt;
- Interskol;
- Hitachi;
- Bison
The tools from these companies are known for their performance and durability. All these advantages are combined with an acceptable price tag. Makita offers the largest range of belt sanders. The devices feature excellent engine sealing.
Hitachi– a company with more than half a century of experience. Its premium tools are an excellent choice not only for the home craftsman, but also for the professional.
Bosch also offers a large selection of grinding tools; experts recommend using special attention for eccentric machines.
Domestic Zubr and Interskol are famous for their reliability and ease of maintenance.
Comparative characteristics of the most popular models of grinding machines will help you make the right choice.

This article is intended for anyone who works with wood and wants to make sanding easier. A wood sander is great for this; which model should you choose?
There are several types of tools on the market for finishing wood: belt sanders, eccentric sanders, orbital sanders. So, which grinding machine to choose, what type of device is best suited for specific purposes?
Before finding the answer to this question, we should understand how different models differ and compare their functions with our needs.
How to choose a wood sander - tips
Sanding wood is a labor-intensive process that can be made much easier with the right tools. Belt, oscillating or eccentric, as well as deltoid sanders are best suited for wood processing.
The correct choice of device depends on the type of work being performed and the characteristics of the workpiece: shape, size, grinding of corners and hard-to-reach areas, type of coating, etc.
Different tools are better suited for certain jobs, namely:
- It is better to choose a belt sander for sanding large and flat surfaces;
- An eccentric sander allows you to conveniently process convex and concave small wooden surfaces;
- the oscillating model has a similar application, with the ability to handle corners thanks to the rectangular sole;
- The delta sander is ideal for surfaces with complex shapes that most sanders cannot reach, while its small pad area is usually recommended for small wood surfaces.
Belt sander for wood – how to choose?
Description and purpose of the model
If the surface we are dealing with is large and relatively flat, then it is better to choose a belt sander. It is designed for processing solid wood, varnished boards and veneer panels. 
Belt sanders are characterized by the highest efficiency; they are most often used in workshops and rarely for home work.
Thanks to their high productivity, belt sanders can cover large areas in a short period of time with excellent results. The treated surface is smooth and uniform. Additionally, since belt sanders are primarily used for linear motion, they are ideal for sanding along wood grains.
The disadvantage of belt sanders is the design of the base, which does not allow access to hard-to-reach corners. The edge of the tape is not also the edge of the sole, so surfaces, for example near a wall, are inaccessible to this device. In this case, you will need a deltoid model.
Which belt sander should you choose?
To choose the right belt sander, you should pay attention to the following parameters:
- Speed of movement of the working part - the higher the speed, the faster and more accurately the surface is ground. Depending on the model, the speed can vary from 200 to 420 rpm.
- Belt size - this parameter affects the speed and accuracy of grinding. But be careful! The larger the size, the faster the grinding occurs, but at the same time its accuracy decreases.
- Power – the higher the power, the better the tool can process harder and more complex surfaces, such as hardwood (oak). Thanks to the high power, the tool can work longer without overheating.
If we need a belt sander for wood, how to choose the right power? Belt sanders with a motor power of up to 1000 W are mainly intended for light work, while those with a motor power of more than 1400 W will work well under short-term but heavy workloads.
Model overview
Below are models of grinding machines recommended by experts. For each model, distinctive characteristics are highlighted.
1. Grinder Graphite 59G394. The small diameter of the front roller (16 mm) and the additional handle with adjustable angle make it easy to sand in hard-to-reach places. 
2.Makita 9920 is a powerful and professional belt sander with electronic speed control for optimal performance. Thanks to the automatic lateral adjustment of the belt, you can sand the surface right up to the edge. 
Purpose of the tool
An orbital sander is the most versatile tool designed for sanding convex and concave small wood surfaces and many other materials.
This model is used in the following cases:
Ideal for sanding wood;
Suitable for grinding metal surfaces;
Also useful for polishing, thanks to the possibility of installing a polishing disc;
Can be used to clean old paintwork. 
An eccentric or orbital sander for wood is especially recommended for processing and updating furniture: chests of drawers, tables. Orbital sanders have a plate that rotates and also vibrates. Thanks to this, such devices work faster than oscillating sanders. However, this tool also has disadvantages; eccentric grinders are characterized by a round sole shape, which does not allow for processing corners.
The diameter of the working part is usually 125 or 150 mm. Of course, the larger the working surface, the higher the productivity. However, the working surface of eccentric sanders is smaller than that of oscillating sanders. This has its pros and cons: the advantage of a smaller sole is that it is easier to work with in hard-to-reach areas, the disadvantage is less performance on larger surfaces.
How to choose an eccentric sander for wood?
To figure out which orbital sander to choose, you need to analyze the following parameters:
- Eccentricity is a parameter that has a significant impact on the performance of the tool and means the deviation of the movement of the sole from the turning point. The higher the value, the more accurate the tool is.
- Disc diameter – large diameters allow for fast processing large surfaces. Small diameters, in turn, are better suited for working in hard-to-reach places.
- The number of revolutions per unit of time - the higher the number of revolutions, the more accurately the tool works (as in the case of an oscillating machine).
Model overview
- Eccentric sander Bosch machine PEX 400AE provides high quality grinding, high efficiency and optimal polishing performance. The Paper Assistant function makes it easy to stretch the sandpaper. Supplied in a suitcase with a set of sandpaper. The built-in suction module transports the crushed dust directly into the container, which is easy to empty.
- The Bosch 400W GEX 125-150 AVE eccentric sander is designed for professional use. Extremely versatile thanks to the choice of a 150 or 125 mm grinding disc. Supplied in a case with a set of sanding pads
Oscillating grinder - advantages and disadvantages
Main Features
The oscillating sander is used for grinding flat and smooth surfaces. It is ideal for processing wooden objects such as furniture, tabletops and doors.
Unlike the eccentric model, oscillating sanders are equipped with a rectangular sole, thanks to which you can sand corners. Larger models with a rectangular or square sole are more powerful.
How to choose an oscillating sander?
Before purchasing you need to pay attention to:
Number of oscillations - the higher this value, the better the tool performs. Usually expressed as the number of vibrations per minute.
The size of the sole - the larger it is, the faster the surface will be processed. However, when working with small surfaces, it is better to choose an oscillating sander with a smaller pad, as this will allow you to more accurately sand hard-to-reach areas.
How to choose delta sanders?
Model description
The main difference between delta-shaped sanders and oscillating sanders is the sole. It is shaped like the letter delta (hence the name of this type of instrument). This model is ideal for sanding in corners and other areas that are difficult to reach with oscillating, random orbital and especially belt sanders.
Due to the small size of the pad, they are designed for sanding small surfaces. In addition, for the deltoid model, you can purchase a spatula-shaped sole. This makes delta sanders useful for removing old paints and varnishes, especially from chairs.
What to look for when choosing a delta sander?
When choosing a deltoid model, you should analyze a parameter such as the amplitude of oscillations (oscillation) - usually indicated in millimeters and ranges from 1 to 2 mm. The higher the value, the more the sole deflects, and the tool works more efficiently.
Model overview
1.The DeWalt D26430 model is designed for professionals. It guarantees high efficiency when sanding and polishing in corners and edges, in hard-to-reach places and on small surfaces. The design allows for smooth maneuvering and precise grinding for more precise work. The dust collection system ensures convenient operation.
2.The Bosch PSM 18 Li model is intended primarily for home use. It has a split sanding pad and a Delta swivel tip that allows for optimal use of sandpaper. The built-in suction unit transports dust directly into the microfilter container, ensuring dust-free operation. The cordless sander offers virtually unlimited work – without the inconvenience of cables that are too short.
How to choose a grinding machine for your home - summing it up
- Belt sander extremely effective and treats large surfaces very quickly. For example, this device can quickly remove very thick layers of paint from wooden surfaces. The design is characterized by a very high power rating. The machine is extremely easy to use and safe.
- Random orbital sander is a good quality device used for sanding flat and rounded surfaces. Such models have the highest accuracy. However, the outsole does not reach hard to reach areas such as corners. The machine has a round disk that works in an oscillatory and rotating motion at the same time, depending on the pressure. It is also easy to use, but requires a little more attention than oscillating. This instrument is held with both hands. Thanks to the combination of two plate movements, the model is very efficient, fast, productive and, if used skillfully, leaves no visible sanding marks.
- Oscillating sander used for large flat surfaces. If we've never sanded before, it's best to start with this device. It perfectly smoothes the surface, and its work depends on the thickness of the sandpaper. The machine is very easy to use and safe. She doesn't require special attention.
- Deltoid machine– small triangular sole makes it easier to work on surfaces that are inaccessible to large grinding machines. However, the small sole area also makes the model ineffective for processing large surfaces.
Construction or renovation work is not complete without purchasing a wood sander. But which one should you choose? Most often, a tool is selected based on its ability to work with a specific material, the size of the area being processed, and the presence of hard-to-reach areas.
For professional construction or repair work, you will need a high-power wood sander.
Wood sanding machines are:
- tape;
- vibration;
- orbital;
- corner;
- renovators.
Belt sander for wood
Helps quickly remove large layers of material, polish boards, and sand places where parts fit.These units are highly powerful and allow you to quickly and efficiently handle large areas, and the master must have professional skills in working with such a tool so as not to spoil the result.
Vibratory wood sander
The larger the area of the working sole, the faster you can grind a particular area. Usually the sole is rectangular, but some models are equipped with a triangular wedge for working in hard-to-reach areas. The higher the vibration speed of the grinder, the lower the quality of grinding.Eccentric (orbital) sander for wood
The eccentric CMM is designed for fine processing in the final stage of working with wooden objects.The design of the orbital sander helps produce circular and translational movements of the sanding pad.
One of the varieties of eccentric sanders, the delta sander has a delta-shaped working surface, which makes it easier to work in hard-to-reach areas.
Angle grinders for wood
Angler grinders are very efficient in operation, thanks to the powerful motor and high rotation speed of the grinding disc.Renovators for woodworking
An angle grinder cannot work with internal angles. Renovators (multi-tools) are more suitable for this.The renovator can:
- polish;
- create slots;
- clean walls, floors and ceilings of linoleum, tiles, paint, plaster.
