Can this be used for wet sanding autobodies?

I have wet sanded with the model 6020 pad sander, but I have not wet sanded with a random orbital sander.

I would not use this for sanding floors, you need to rent an orbital floor sander.

I purchased this DEWALT sander to use for woodworking use only. I cannot advise using this sander for paint removal in an automotive application, since I do not know if the speed on this sander is adequate and sustainable for such paint removal requirements. I would suggest you contact DEWALT Customer Service as to what they recommend.

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

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

No will need a large compressor ,sandblasting takes a lot of constant pressure..

No. The sanding head and belt-rotator motors are seperate. A 110-120v and a 15-20 amp circuit is all you will need. It is a slow, gentle machine...both motors never under much load for very long. If you overload it...trying to sand too much too fast, it has a an interrupt to save you.

Not really because the pads are circular and on a plastic hallow disc that you push onto the disc on the tip2toe. If your mechanical thinking - Basically sanding pads are on a female end that is circular and the tip2toe has the male end that is circular. You would have to create something to go on the dremel that would hold the sanding pads.

That I do not know. You more then likely will have to lightly sand the area where you are using liquid nails.

Yes. In fact, if you came to me to ask which tool to use to sand down clear coat to 800-grit level smoothness, I would say a random orbital sander(5-6" is most common for the curves of a car or boat, 10-12" is faster for 50+ft boat or large trailer) is beat. The weight and size of this particular model makes it easy to sand at shoulder height or above your head or for long hours. I had this model for years and swear by it. If this is a one time project or smaller than a table, save money by just buying a 5-6" random orbital palm sander. I am heavily disappointed in the crap quality of the buffer pad. The sponge is glued on and comes off as soon as its hot. The nature of sponge allows it to just peel away. So don't get excited about the 2-in-1 option. For best results when using sander, use 220 grit to get through clear coat, 180 is pushing it and 120 may take off more than you want but is my favorite if you can do it right. 120 (as long as you don't cut through at an angle by accident) will take off the most bang for your buck. A 2'x2' area can be done in like 45-60 seconds. Use the upper right quadrant (12-3pm on a clock) to take off layers in a methodical up down or left right slightly overlapping motion. As you leave an area, Go back over Lightly with pressure more evenly distributed on pad. Then go over with 220 same way. Then probably 400. Past that you are getting into wet dry paper and I have never used this machine with wet dry. It's a great way to get to 800. Make sure you have a pad, a sponge, a cloth or something to keep your fingertips from leaving an inconsistent finish. Or just make your hand into a pad like surface. The short answer? Yes.

Personally, I wouldn't use either of those products with this sander. I would recommend using some 1/4 sheet sandpaper such as "PORTER-CABLE 762800815 1/4 Sheet 80 Grit Adhesive-Backed Sanding Sheets (15-Pack)" or a full sheet and cut it into 4 equal pieces.

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.

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

You can refinish your floors with this product, but it depends on how large of an area you have to finish. This is a small diameter disc it would take awhile. As for sanding without water I would not do that. The water does two things it keeps down dust and more importantly prolongs the life of the abrasive pads, not too mention you get a more even finish by using water.

Yes. Works well either wet or dry. Just make sure to keep it clean and lubricated.

This sander is used to prepare a vehicle for priming or repainting. You can use 6 inch "self-stick" sand paper - 200 to 600 grit. This tool is used to finish sand or feather edge primer or paint. This tool is not a grinder - you do not use it to strip old down to the metal. This tool is not used to polish or wax a vehicle - it spins much too fast.

No I don't think I'd try wet sanding. Be like using a toaster in the bath tub
