What is the difference between the different sort of sanders?
I am looking at
In particular, what is the difference between an orbital sander, and a random orbital sander? (Other than that one is rectangular, and the other circular.)
I understand what a belt sander and a detail sander are.
I have two applications in mind:
- Touching up the worn oak floor in the living room
- Sanding down the stair case I am currently stripping (preparatory to repainting).
