can this be used to sand concrete?

I guess if you had the right kind of sanding pad on it, then it might work. I've always used a sanding wheel with diamond bits to sand concrete, but that's messy. This drywall vacuum sander is really meant for drywall.

Not really rugged enough. Besides I don't knowwhat you would use for an abrasive. Sandpaper wouldn't work.

Yes it can. I've seen 80 grit screen, but don't know if it will hold up against concrete. You could possible try a grinder with a dust shroud to cut down on dust.

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.

I don't think so, because the sanding screen won't hold up to that type of material.

You would need an angle grinder or possibly a belt sander with the appropriate abrasive to sand concrete. This is for Drywall/plaster. When you powersand concrete, just have your helper hold the shop vac nozzle near the are you are grinding to achieve decent results.

I used it over Por Putty as a sealer ..I have not tried to sand it but would think it would be sand-able.. with something like a demel but not by hand.. the stuff is like black tooth paste and like the por putty will dry hard..being paste like it spreads very easy, so not much sanding was needed..I hope this was a help

I think it can be used using a mansonry bit properly! I´ve never used on concrete before. But it does not have the IMPACT function, so if the concrete is very hard, I dont think it could do the job very fast.

I have not done this, but from my experience using it for wood, if the underlying surface is flat and smooth, then it should work.If the concrete has a rough or dimpled surface, then it will not work well at all. I would use a wire brush in that case.

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.

No it's not suitable for doing a floor, it is difficult to control and only gives a very light sand. You really need a industrial floor sander.

I don't think it would be sandable but I don't have the package anymore to see if it says anything about sanding on it.

I would say it really depends on how many feet of base board you plan to sand. If it is only a few feet, yes . However, I would get a more heavy duty sander if it is a bigger job,

yes you certainly can, but would not recommend using on curved surfaces, its great for flat surfaces. However this is the best sander out there.

No it cannot be used in that application. Thsi si designed for an in-ground concrete pool.

Yes... It can be used. I would make sure the surface is clean, grease free and roughed up with 220 sand paper.

Yes it almost certainly will. It vibrates strongly. My first one stopped working because of exposure to a lot of rain, but i bought a second one because i liked it that much. Some people complain that it's hard to find replacement sanding pieces, but all you do is find any with a velcro backing and cut it to the right shape

It would be possible, though you would need the right sander. If you sanded it flat it would look awkward - you need the tools to actually shape it.

sand itself may not be clean and will be very fine. I do know that industrial sandblasting grit can be used in the rough stages, as it is quite course. I suppose if you could get some clean silica sand from you local building supply store, it may be suitable and way less expensive!

My husband says that he wouldn't use it for concrete. They make hammer drills specifically for drilling into harder materials. Hope this answer didn't come too late for you!

I don't know. I didn't buy it to use concrete. I bought it to paint a pattern on my patio, which I did not do and ended up getting rid of the mold.

No. Would not work for sanding wood. This tool is a light weight. I was very disappointed in it.
