Wow, I've been using my orbital sander for a couple weeks and getting dust all over myself. Thought I reached a break through when I figured out I was supposed to hook up the shop vac. I was perplexed when that didn't work. Only after watching this video did I realize that the holes are needed in the paper. Thanks!!!

[@SeethaGopalakrishna]

As someone totally ignorant about tools in general and wood work per se this video has been very helpful.Thank you.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@anadelgado8661]

I watched a few videos on sanding (newbie) and by far this is the best one in all aspects. Blessings and thank you so much!!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad it was helpful, and thank you for the blessings!

[@jmackenzie2010]

Ive just joined a womens shed in Melbourne Australia. I'm sanding back a small cabinet and it's my first time using a cordless sander. I'm loving it. Your video is great and so helpful. Keep up the great tips and advice!

[@chickadee317]

Would an orbital sander be best to sand down a mahogany veneer chest of drawers?

[@smokeycanuck8058]

Unlike a lot of crap on CZcams, very helpful thanks.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad it helped

[@vjmcheg5124]

Thank you! I appreciate your clear, concise explanations and demonstrations. Now I feel more comfortable with the project at hand. 🙂

[@totorishop]

I love the videos you’ve created. You’re an excellent teacher! Easy to understand, useful tips, why the tool is used and even encouraging comments! Thank you!!!

[@yougetagoldstar]

Not only this, but no cursing, tattoos, crazy piercings, saying disgusting innuendos, and so on.

[@TaqveemKhalid]

thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for, the difference between these two types of orbital sander. Now for me to start sanding!

[@carasmussen27]

Thank you. Just starting out and this was extremely informative. I have subscribed and will watch more videos. Now back to sanding.

[@-LunerLight-Dragons-]

Thank you for your videos!! They’re my favorite to learn from!!

[@paulweller2329]

Thanks for the succinct tutorial! I'm gonna do my hardwood floors and didn't feel like renting and lugging around a hardware store rental. I've got both of these types and the orbital (circular) sander with 80 grit seems to be the answer...

[@Positively_Bri]

I just wanted to know how to attach the sandpaper to the machine! I watched a whole other video on it and I still didn't know. Your video taught me that and so many more basics! Ready to get started! Hoping to get my door to be able to close.
