is this product QS900 an orbit sander?

Yes it is an orbital sander, it IS NOT a DA/random orbital sander. The product description states: QS900's powerful 2.0 Amp motor provides a rotation speed of 16,000 orbits per minute

No, it is not orbital. This is a flat bottom sander that is excellent for very fine work after sanding with an orbital or belt sander. It is easy to change paper and you can use 8 1/2 X 11 sheets of any grit. You get four sandpaper pads out of one large sheet.

If you mean if it sands in circles, I don't know but it would not move in circular motion. If you just leave it without directing the movement, it will "vibrate". It's easier to move it in straight lines than in circles.

Unfortunately no and I assume it has to do with the vacuum holes not lining up. If you want that functionality you have to buy a more expensive unit such as Bosch ROS65VCL 5 and 6-Inch Pads Rear-Handle Random Orbit Sander with Vibration Control Kit which I'm sure is well worth the investment and is the same price if you bought both a 5 and 6 inch separately.

no i doubt it this is a replacement for a air sander, grinders have 5/8 - 11 threads. What size grinder, the model number mfg would help to answer the question completely.

It's orbital, but any sander will leave marks if the sanding isn't done properly. You should always start with a coarse grit to set the shape and remove the cut marks, then gradually go to finer and finer grits to remove the marks from the previous sanding process. Orbitals have an advantage because they leave FEWER and less deep marks than the old back and forth methods do, and do the job faster. I used this sander for the final sanding on the fiberglass and filler on my airplane (full size plane, not a model) as it provided a finer, faster finish than my old "back and forth" sander did. After painting, the surface is high gloss and mark free! You can see the plane at www.agelesswings.com/LONGEZ.HTM It's orbital, but any sander will leave marks if the sanding isn't done properly.

Yes you can but a random orbital air sander would be cheaper. Order the extra soft pad for better contact on the curves.

Yes it is. Really only suitable for light sanding as the hooks do wear quickly and make it unusable. You can get new pads of course not sure of the cost though.

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

No, the random orbital sander doesn't mess with the grain unless you are using an aggressive sanding disk (heavy grit).

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.

not if you mean like some that have interchangeable parts, there's no orbital sander.

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.

A disk sander spins In a continuous.circle and your supposed to only use one half of the disk for your sanding a random orbit the pad orbits in tiny circles I forget what this one is 1/32 or something really it depends on the project but I like the random orbit because you can use the whole pad if it's a big project. For smaller projects I would use the disk sander so you can hold the piece with two hands

The sander does not operate in a circular motion...for that you would want to consider a Random Orbital Sander

I am no expert, but mine works perfectly. I never has an issue with it. Try going to your local hardware store and see if you can find the one you purchased. Product number, or the UPC from the box will help you be certain you are checking the proper sander. Maybe the dust trap is broken?

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