Best DIY orbital sander

[Marvin]

Hi

 

A friend of mine asked what would be a suitable orbital sander to sand down a single garage wooden door frame.

 

I don't think he will be expecting to do much more than that with it and he didn't want to shell out for one that would do half a house...

 

Thanks

Quarter sheet one. Gets more pressure on the paint, and easier to get into corners.

I'd get the parkside from Lidl or the Aldi equivalent. Competent and adequate tools.

I've had a few lidl/aldi tools that were a bit feeble. Others good. So I would want to see reviews.

Sanding can be tedious and slow with poor kit.

For economy I would prefer wickes stuff which can be basic but works. I always wondered if this was Draper with a different label as it is similar in target market.

Next jump to a big brand. Double the cost, probably better and faster.

I've never found a good sander, always seem pretty rubbish. I find a good scraper is way better, then just use the sander for finishing off.
