I'm looking for a sander to use on wrought iron porch railings. The spokes are curved and there is also a design. Will this sander get into tight places?

Yes, as well as even tighter spots if you use the provided attachments. Good Luck!

Depends on how tight but, it does have some nice attachments.If it' super tight you might want to consider buying a Dremel to get the tight areas - that's what I do.I use both tools. Good luck!

It will get in tight places. The real question is how long will it last ?Mine started smoking shortly after I used it. This thing is made for very very light use. I think it was meant to be a back scratcher or something not a sander !

From my perspective, a random orbital sander (ROS) of the type you actually bought is superior in every way to the partial sheet sanders - except for the cost of sandpaper. It is much, much faster at removing material from a very rough surface but does just as good a job fine sanding as the partial sheet sanders. I was not overly impressed with this particular model compared to my Dewalt ROS because of excessive vibration, but I would choose it hands down over what you intended to buy. My sample may have been slightly defective.

It fits my Ryobi, the original design, very snugly. I like them very much because of their snugness. If I may offer a suggestion? You might want to lube up the shaft of your sander with a little graphite bearing grease. You will have a much better experience with getting the units on and off. It doesn't take much and graphite bearing grease will not eat the rubber. Hope this helps and happy woodworking, Best regards, PFirefly

I think this is better suited to sanding corners and areas that are difficult or inaccessible with other power tools. It moves rapidly and may damage veneers.

Yes & no you can't do slack sanding on this type sander, as far as the miter table goes just put the belt in the upright position, attach table, adjust and off you go!

Not well, let me explain . The sander is a compressed air eater. Once your compressor is fully charged it will run the sander , but it will start slowing down quickly because a compressor of that size can not keep up with the sanders demand. Now if you want to stop and start your sanding project stopping so that the compressor can play catch up it will work .

I have not tried it for that but from what I have seen of the dust collection capabilities of the sander, I would say not, it would miss a lot of the dust. Just my opinion.

Yes. However, the difference between the Wagner and a floor sander is not to be compared - if its bigger than a small area. For the effort and time, I'd rent a floor-sander and use the Wagner in the edges (edge sander) and enter the corners. You'll still need a profile sander for the corners for a good match to the rest of the newly sanded floor. Overall, I used the Wagner PaintEater on the my home's outside walls and found it easy to handle and light weight.

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.

Definitely not for fine trim sanding-will not reach into small areas and you do not have great control. It also makes a great deal of dust. Best use is for relatively accessible, flat areas. You would want to watch out for grooving caused by holding the sander at too much of an angle or in one place for too long or using too much pressure.

This is a square palm sander. One full size sanding sheet split into 4 pieces. I believe the problem i had with this sander was the clamp was not very strong, but if it is for light usage it should be fine.

I've never used it for anything except my iron railings and just don't know. If no other Amazon user can answer, I'd email or call the company.

ive used mine on an old hand cicle. its curved all the way around. works awesome.

I don't. Usually the adapter at the vacuum end has the ability to rotate and is therefore built fairly sturdy. If one meeting those specs is not available, and you decide to try a fixed adapter, the stepped variety might fit. They can be cut at whatever diameter ring fits best. I needed to use a stepped adapter for the other end to fit my sander. However, the standard stepped adapter sold at most home centers was too large. I found a miniture version of stepped adapter from Woodcraft was the answer for that issue. Good luck.

I cannot respond to Mr. Cast Iron, but at least when sanding wood the general consensus is that none of the small sanders do well with sawdust collection. On the other hand it is supposed to be a finish sander, so the amount of dust should be minimal.

NopeThe sander works great and very powerful to use .You have two speed levels Low and high..

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.
