Milwaukee offers a range of powerful and efficient belt sanders that are designed for fast material removal on large, flat surfaces. Their belt sanders feature high-performance motors that range from 7.0 to 11.0 amps, as well as variable speed control and a dust collection system. These features help to prevent overheating, extend the life of the sanding belt, and keep the work area clean.
Milwaukee's range of orbital sanders are designed for sanding wood, metal, and other materials with a circular sanding pad that moves in an orbital motion. Milwaukee's orbital sanders come in 5" and 6" sizes, and they feature high-performance motors, variable speed control, and a dust collection system.
Milwaukee's range of random orbit sanders are designed for sanding wood, metal, and other materials with a round sanding pad that moves in a random orbital motion. This motion minimizes swirl marks and produces a smooth finish.
Milwaukee's detail sanders feature a triangular sanding pad for sanding in tight spaces and corners. Milwaukee's detail sanders have powerful motors, variable speed control, and a dust collection system. These features enable efficient and precise sanding while also keeping the area where you work tidy.

The main difference between orbital sanders and random orbit sanders is the motion of the sanding pad.
Orbital sanders have a circular sanding pad that moves in a fixed orbital pattern. This motion is ideal for fine sanding and finishing work, as it produces a consistent scratch pattern on the surface. Orbital sanders are generally smaller and lighter than random orbit sanders, making them easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces.
Random orbit sanders, on the other hand, have a circular sanding pad that moves in a random orbital pattern, meaning the pad moves in both a circular and an elliptical motion. This random motion helps to minimize swirl marks on the surface, making it ideal for removing material quickly and efficiently. Random orbit sanders are generally more powerful than orbital sanders, and they can handle heavier material removal.
To choose the right grit for your sanding project, consider the material you are sanding, the level of sanding required, the surface condition, and experiment if you're unsure. Different materials require different grits, and rough sanding requires a coarser grit while fine finishing work requires a finer grit. Always wear appropriate safety gear when sanding.
You should replace the sanding pad or sandpaper when it becomes worn or damaged. Signs of wear and tear include a reduction in sanding performance, loss of grip, visible damage or wear on the sandpaper or pad, and difficulty in attaching or removing the sandpaper. Regularly inspect the sandpaper and pad during use and replace them when necessary to ensure optimal sanding performance and results.
