I am thinking to buy sander to renew my wooden door and window frame. I am looking at cordless sander with battery.
Few questions:
If I need to buy only 1 sander, is it the best to buy detail sander for my use? (the one with triangular pad)?
Is it very important to have vacuum extraction attached? Will it be very dusty?
Can I use multitool (which has sanderfunctionality) for my work? Is there any drawback?
Appreciate any input. Thanks
Get an Ozito detail sander if you really want to do it with a power tool - It does have a little extraction pod in it, although to use it you need to use one of the smaller ozito batteries.
Double check for asbestos before you start power sanding stuff.
Asbestos window frames?? Is that a thing?
Why cordless? Unless you plan to purchase other cordless tools to go with the same battery you’d be better to get a cheaper 240v sander.
Multitool isn’t as good as a dedicated sander, especially for larger areas. Not bad for detail work though.
Triangle shaped will give better access to corners.
Cheap tool with Good sandpaper is a better investment than an expensive sander wth cheap paper.
dust extraction is probably near useless for a door. The hose will get in your way and they don’t catch all dust anyway.
With the task complete after a single window and door, and assuming that you are sanding the items for surface coat preparation; all you need is some sandpaper and/or a sanding sponge.
