Can the sander head be mounted on a pole for high wall and ceiling work? Does it use regular drywall sanding screens?

No not this version I do believe they have one that does not sure of the number. It does take the screens.

They also sell a pole attachment that you use instead of the hand sander. It is like a traditional swivel head. It also uses drywall screen just like the hand sander.

This one cannot be attached to a pole, I think the company does make one that does though. And yes it does use regular sanding screens.

I'll do my best to answer; it's been 2 years since I used it. The vacuum hose attaches to the head of the sander so you can add a longer pole. I have 8' ceilings, so I didn't need an extra long pole. I'm thinking it would work to the length of the suction hose. My sanding head broke at the threaded pole attachment rendering it useless. I quickly ordered the "H.D." model and got back to work. What may happen with a long pole is the torque placed at the head could snap something. That said, I'd try it. You can use over-the-counter drywall screens. I hope this helps.

No. But any painter's pole (the poles they use for rollers) with a standard threaded end will work.

Don't see why not. You can add and remove the 4 brushes from the horizontal bar and lock them in at any spacing interval needed. You can also purchase and add more brushes than the supplied 4 if you need them for tighter spacing. Even with just 4, since the horizontal bar with the brushes doesn't have to be attached to a pole, thinking it would serve quite well holding it in your hand as you scrub the tile wall and that you could get quite a lot of leverage and elbow grease into the job. And you certainly can control that at least one of the brushes gets into the grout with multiple passes. It really did my floor an amazing job, don't see why not equally effective on vertical surface. Good luck!

Happy New Year. This unit is all muscle power. I've sanded a lot of drywall. This only allows the dust to be collected. Like other reviews you may need to sand the edges of the sander as the unit may be "concaved". It was well worth my investment. I had to sand heavy texture down a little and keep the dust to a minimum in our home. It does make a high whistle sound so you will need ear protection. Feel free to ask more if you want. R.J.

I would like to help you out. It would help me help you if I had some idea of what you mean by 'higher'. This can be mounted on any 1/2 to 1 1/2 in thick board or monitor. It could also be mounted on a dowel rod or maybe even a cut mop or broom handle that is able to be screwed to a base board. There are many ways to mount it. If you have any questions.. let me know and I will be as much assistance as I can for you.

Yes as long as it is a texture made of drywall mud. I recently sanded a plaster popcorn ceiling with the 24 grit sandpaper and it worked well enough to sand the high spots down but still required a plaster skim coat to make it smooth.

I can tell you for certain that it can be mounted to a pole. I don't think it was made for mounting on a flat surface but someone who is willing to be creative might find a way to do so.

Don't know what sanding screen you bought, but if you bought one that is made for the Hyde tool it should work. I didn't have a problem with mine.

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

it depends on how you're going to use it. If you'll use the pressure option, yes, you can just mount it higher. If you're planning on mounting it to the wall, you'll need to cut part of the baseboard.

I do not see how you can do it. The part that presses up against the ceiling is flat and cannot be angled. The two that I have are not spring loaded. You press the top against a flat ceiling and then expand the pole with the provided wrench to make a pressure fit.

You can also call the manufacture and they will provide details. I call asking about ceiling vs. Vertical wall mounting

The design is not wall-mountable. But I can see an ingenious person mounting it to the wall using a wall mounted bracket of some sort to hold the center pole. This should be possible since the center pole is removable from the U-shaped stand. Good luck.

I used a rigid random 5in sander hooked up to a shop vac with a bag to sand plaster walls...very happy with result

I wouldn't recommend it, the sheet will be very difficult to pull off after you sand with it and heat it up. The adhesive will stick and most likely tear the sanding pad on the sander.

Although I have no experience with the sander in conjunction with metal work, I suppose it would be dependent upon what you were doing. Very small, soft metals may work. Sorry, I just don't have the experience to answer the question directly.

this is a grinder...not a sander that accepts adhesive or velcro. It can sand with sanding discs, but you need to learn more about grinders. Do your homework online!!
