Strip paint, remove a finish, or smooth a tabletop with a powerful DeWalt sander. These versatile electric handheld tools make light work of abrading surfaces for a variety of home improvement and repair jobs. While it is possible to use a manual sanding block and sandpaper to smooth down surfaces, a DeWalt sander can do in minutes what would take hours by hand. DeWalt sanders work by rapidly moving a piece of sandpaper or other abrasive sheet over the surface of your workpiece to remove surface material.
At ToolStore UK we stock both DeWalt orbital sanders and DeWalt sheet sanders. Sheet sanders work by vibrating a rectangular sanding pad in a back-and-forth circular motion at high speed. Because of the repetitive motion, sheet sanders may leave marks, especially when moving at an angle against the grain, so it is important to keep the sander moving. They use ordinary sheets of sandpaper, which cost less and are more readily available than the pre-cut sanding disks and are an efficient tool for sanding flat surfaces such as doors and windowsills. DeWalt orbital sanders use sanding discs that vibrate and rotate at the same time, producing a smoother finish that’s perfect for furniture renovation.
Be sure to choose the right grade of sandpaper for the finish you require. At ToolStore UK we offer a wide range of sanding sheets and sanding discs designed to make light work of your sanding projects.
