Can this sander be used on OSB seams? We don't have to sand them too often, and the Clarke edgers are really expensive

Absolutely. Just grab her and hold on tight. Full speed is a real son of a bitch. This sander makes my belt sander look like screwdriver.

this sander is a serious work tool and will perform to the highest levels of workload . . you get what you pay for imo . . . again this sander is a winner and the vacuum system works very well .. you will not regret if you purchase .. good luck

Yes I have the sander and used it several times. Works great in tight places...

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

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.

I don't see how you can use it on a random orbital sander and also I don't see why you would want to, it is not made for that, it wouldn't do anything

The other comments are spot-on. Will not get into tight area, rough finish, lots of dust. But it will strip these. I used it on 30 year old southern pine boards to remove finish then used a finishing sander. For bannister refinish, it might be easier to remove, strip, and reinstall.

Should work just fine, but Joe has a point about 'softness' of the pad. Even if it's not exactly what you're looking for, it's good to have a more varied type of pad in case you have some light contour sanding. It should also work just fine for regular 'flat' sanding. Might be a tad less aggressive.

I thought I just answered this question. This would be the way to go about your sanding job. Good luck...

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.

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.

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.

I wouldn't want to use it refinish hardwood floors. I think it would be too time consuming. I think you would be better off purchasing a hand-held belt sander. I think a belt sander would work better and I think you'll have a wider selection of sand grit coarseness in the sanding belts. I have the highest course grit disks you can get on my Dewalt disk sander and it doesn't sand as thoroughly as a belt sander with a sanding belt with half the course grit.

I do. Just about any P100 would be good for sanding. I use this one for any woodworking I do. I've also used it when mowing on high pollen days. It works fine for me.

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.

If you had a way to hold it. This sander is a pos and I don't recommend buying it. I trashed mine and bought a old sander at a yard sale.

maybe but i would go for the round orbital sander, the one for velcro discs. few dollars and a huge diference. sheet sanders are going obsolete and soon to be extinted, they also leave "curls" on the sanded surface.

I should think so, as long as your sander uses the "hook & loop" to adhere the sanding disk to the sander, it should work. I use a Bosch sander, not a DeWalt, but I can't imagine why it shouldn't work.
