Will it work for wood sanding?

Yes. It has worked great on all the wood I have used it on. Unless the wood is paineted, its not meant to sand paint off.

Yes, of course. However, due to the nature of your question-- you do realize that these attach to the sanding foot of an electric sander, right? These will be rather ineffective if used without the proper machine.

Yes it can be used as a sander however I strongly recommend not to use it that way. A random orbit sander is designed and built to sand wood and other stuff without leaving circular marks.

Yes it can, in fact I have purchased a polishing kit for it but haven't tried it. But I will say that it is an excellent sander especially with the new 4 amp battery and should do a reasonable job as a polisher.

I would say yes. I bought the Dewalt D26453K 3-amp 5-inch variable speed orbit sander & they work great.........!!! I bought 2 boxes of these disks in different grits & they are very good quality, long lasting & stay in place.....!! I will buy more of these again when needed..........!!! Hope this helps.......!!!

Depends on the total surface area...if it is a large surface you may wish to use a planer. However if you have a good amount of time and a good sanding machine it may be OK for your application.

Light duty sanding - it has worked for an hour plus or minus. I must say, that I have sent it back once and soon the second time for a faulty off/on speed change switch. I feel it was not properly engineered to handle the dust (wood) that is incurred using the tool.

A Radom orbital sander would be a better choice of tools for sanding wood. Preferably with dust collection attached to the sander. Exposed nail heads or screws could prove to be a problem with the sanding discs though.

The unit can be used without the sander to pick up drywall dust and other small objects. I have not tried it with my wood sander but believe it will also work with it. The unit basically picks up dust and deposits it into a bucket of water. The water catches the dust and keeps it from blowing around the area you are working in. The unit doesn't catch 100% of the dust but does a good job in catching most of it.

I am not a professional wood worker by any means. I have used this for a few projects but not on a table top. I see no problem with using this sander for that purpose. "I wood".

Yes, Just remember it is a square sander and the sanding dust will blow all over. I love this finishing sander. Deoes everything I ask it to do.

It will depend on what type of wood you are sanding. I have had no problem so far, as I also use a fine grain sheet of paper and finish by hand

I have only used it for painting prep purposes, drywall and a wooden desk. I'm not sure about wet sanding, I'm sorry :(

I believe it would. If you have experience with sanding start out with 80 grit sand paper and go easy. If you are not use 120 grit. If there is something you are trying to save something underneath the paint lawyers take it easy. If it is just wood underneath go for it. I have had no problems with mine.

I don't use mine for wet sanding but see no reason that it won't do the job. Wet sanding leaves a bunch of options as to the process But, if one were to do wet sanding on fairly smooth metal it would work well on situations of smoothing or removing mild abrasions or paint. I would use black sandpaper made for sanding metal and add water in small amounts. The sander would do the job, for sure

I have only used it for sanding but I think it would be good for polishing.

I used it to sand a table and chair set which it did really well. Since then I have started sanding and refinishing our kitchen cabinets. using course paper it will take off material quickly.

I would think it would work for that. I have been successfully using it to sand cabinets and remove old lacquer and stain from them.
