Is the sander electric powered or does the user need to use muscle?

Not Electric, you use your own muscle, however, you can buy a small power orbital hand sander that will hook to the intake hose and life is good. Throw away the non-electrical hand unit, unless you just need the exercise...

This unit is strictly muscle power and finesse. I used this to sand drywall inside my home without getting EVERYTHING covered with that fine dust. To further protect my home furnishings, I got the large bags for my ShopVac from Walmart. So, IF any dust escaped the water-wash in the Magna Sand & Clean the big ShopVac bag collects it. Dave

The Sander is not electric,it is a hand sander,only the shop vac you use is powered by electric. However,in my opinion,this unit is the best hand powered sanding system ever made. I personaly own two of them. I use them religiously anytime I need to sand sheetrock without having to worry about sheet rock dust covering everything in the house.

Says 1.7 amps on the sander data plate. Seems like the motor has a lot of power for that low of an amperage rating.

A lot depends on the project. If the project is primarily wood, then the random sanders by your major manufacturers is the way to go. If the project is manly metal (steel, etc.) then the way to go is the disc sander. Disc sanders are more aggressive than the small electric sanders. They are for smoothing and evening out glued up pieces. Another way to look at it is to say if you want to remove a lot of material fast, use the disc sander. For everything else, use the random orbit.

there is no power source. This is a vise that can hold your work or it has an adaptor that it hold your Dremel tool, which is a good feature. It is not heavy duty, it is for light work. I use it to hold circuit boards and small light items. I like the adjustable positions and the size of the opening of the jaws.

Yes, this is a wonderful sander and should work great. Also you can use sandpaper from other models if choose.

Like this sander. Dust bag worked pretty good if you use the tool they send and punch holes in the sandpaper in the right pattern. Sander removes material at a rapid pace with little vibratio.

Yep it has a Baldor motor I really like the sander because it works great for small project and at 1700 rim it is great at sharpening cause it won't burn metals. The only thing that I am going to do is make a guide to attach to it for sharpening angles for knives and such.

The sander is a double insulated, 120V 3.0 amp. & has orbits per minute of 7000/12000 with a 5in Dia. pad.

No! It is just a dust collector. You will need some flex hose and hose clamps to connect it to your tools. You should be able to connect to your sander without any reducers.

The saw is electric only. It's awesome because it starts up any time you plug it in!

This unit is fully powered. If you have a roller that does not move you need to call the manufacturer.

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

I would say the variable speed sander is better adapted to type of surface, hardness of wood, etc., where you might use it, because the speed can be adjusted.

Sander works fine - will not replace a corded pad sander for shop production work but will do a great job on a project level - change batteries as soon as the power drops off, do not try to squeeze a few minutes more out of a battery and you will be fine. very convenient.

You can use the sander in any direction. Others have suggested an orbital sander, but if you're looking to get your work done quickly, this will certainly do a quicker and more powerful job.

Perhaps not under continuous use but it recovers fast. The sander would likely be a bigger load. Its been a good machine.

Sort of. Your electric drywall sander must have a bag or hose connection that could collect the dust. I have used my electric orbital sander many times with Magna. The hose from the Magna and the hose bib connection on my sander don't match up so I just jam the hose and pipe together and tape it up and good to go.
