Choosing and Using Random-Orbit Sanders

Though it's not a random-orbit sander, a detail sander can go where round-pad sanders can't. Its triangular pad, which orbits without rotating, can fit into small corners, making it a great tool for finishing furniture or sanding intricate molding. Top-of-the-line heavy-duty machines have optional accessories, including scraper blades and flush-cutting saws.
