Sandpaper Types for a Power Sander

Video Transcript

" I'm Rob McManhon with Expert Village. There is different types of sand papers as well. There is the belt for the belt sander. For the random orbit or the disk sander there is this type which is a hook and loop it is basically Velcro and its pad has the hook on it. Line up the holes and it sticks right on there. There are other random orbit sanders that are self sticking they will have a film that you would remove and they just glue themselves right on to the sanders. I prefer this because the other when they heat up the glue heats up and they can shift. For the vibrating sander what you would do is just get your regular square sheet of sand paper and cut it into four sections. The vibrating sander would have a square pad as oppose to the circular pad and two clamps on other side. So you would just take the paper clamp it, stretch it tightly over your pad and clamp it to the other side. Depending on what sander you are using get the appropriate paper."
