Can this be used to sand down wood (cabinets, etc.) as well?

Yes, but it is risky with potential gouging and cross grain marks from sanding disks circular motion

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.

It can be used as a sander, but I would not use it for wood cabinets. It would leave a lot of sanding marks. I would recommend that you use a random orbital sander for a fine, smooth finish on wood.

You could use it to scuff sand a wood floor to over coat it, but if you are trying to remove a finish or sand bare wood you would be better off using a powered floor sander. It is better suited for drywall

It will depend on the dimensions of the piece, the smaller the end the harder to sand but the larger the easier. But the adjustable speed will help in this a lot. Hardwood or softwood won't matter

I have used it as such but since the lowest grit I could find is 80, it isn't ideal for it. Most wood floors you will want to sand using lower grit the first timet hrough.

I think you'd be in good shape using the Bosch sander. I use mine for surfaces that are not flat and just love it.

As long as you degrease the area first and have enough contact I think it would work very well. It's very coarse like 220 grit sandpaper.

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

It would probably be tough to get into the corners and whatnot, and the disk is also pretty rough, so you'll definitely need to sand quite a bit afterwards. That being said, it really didn't tear up the wood on my house when I used it. I was taking paint off cedar, which is quite soft. Hope that helps!

Yes, but for a smooth finish be sure to lightly sand after it drys. I use it to stiffen the fins of the fish I carve and then paint. I wood hardener deeply penetrates the fibers of the wood. Ron

Yes it can. I sand my amouire in about a hour with just three sheets of sandpaper and otherwise job would've taken hours to do. I love this little sander.

This will sand, remove anything your looking to remove. I bought it for a deck project. It removed 1/4" from treated "(wet)" boards with very little effort. The only thing I would caution you with, is it is an animal! Not for light sanding work.

You probably could, but I wouldn't. The backer pad that comes stock with the unit is very stiff and quite flat...great for table tops, cabinet sides, planks, etc., but not for the multi-level surfaces of cars. Additionally this sander is a 6 hole vacuum unit and placing a polishing bonnet over the intake might cause the sander to overheat. Lastly the oscillation size is extremely small, great for sanding and "polishing" wood, but it might just end up burning the wax on the surface of the paint. So, I wouldn't recommend it. Hope that helps!

i suppose if you are careful.....am assuming you are talking about an under layment wood surface, not any flooring, e.g. pine, oak, etc. I would use a sander instead.

Maybe. It would depend on what you are sanding. If you are trying to sand concrete it's only sandpaper for paint,wood or drywall. If you are sanding paint off of concrete it might work but it will not work on concrete itself.

yes but only if you have a strong enough compressor I wood go with a electric sander.

I can't see why not. We use it to refinish furniture, dressers, anything wood. I think if you get the right grit sand paper for it should work!

Not really. The connections are light weight plastic to make sanding overhead easier. Sanding a wood floor requires a lot of pressure and I dont think the fittings will handle that It works great on drywall.
