Can this tool be used for sanding?

No it can not and there would not be any sanding pads that size buffing/polishing only.

Only for Sanding and Possibly LIGHT Tool work.... If you were doing anything that would put a lot of Pressure on the piece you were turning, it would Unscrew the Chuck from the Lathe ....

You could use it to scuff sand a wood floor to over coat it, but if you are trying to remove a finish or sand bare wood you would be better off using a powered floor sander. It is better suited for drywall

Not well, let me explain . The sander is a compressed air eater. Once your compressor is fully charged it will run the sander , but it will start slowing down quickly because a compressor of that size can not keep up with the sanders demand. Now if you want to stop and start your sanding project stopping so that the compressor can play catch up it will work .

Yes, technically. But you really want a much bigger sander if you are doing an entire deck. Maybe some sort of belt sander? I'd do some web searches - don't think I've ever heard of someone sanding a whole deck.

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.

Oh you probably could. I have set on its side and held with one hand sanded small pieces with the other. A great sander though. I love it

You probably could, but I wouldn't. The backer pad that comes stock with the unit is very stiff and quite flat...great for table tops, cabinet sides, planks, etc., but not for the multi-level surfaces of cars. Additionally this sander is a 6 hole vacuum unit and placing a polishing bonnet over the intake might cause the sander to overheat. Lastly the oscillation size is extremely small, great for sanding and "polishing" wood, but it might just end up burning the wax on the surface of the paint. So, I wouldn't recommend it. Hope that helps!

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

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.

I haven't tried the tool in this particular application, but I would say Yes, based on my use in other sanding/grinding circumstances.

I am not sure about sanding. It may not work. You may be able to paint right over the finish as it is not a smooth finish.

The Bosch does an excellent job detail sanding. It has true orbital action, although I found you still need to sand in the direction of the grain. It's a good quality tool, but the sandpaper that comes with it sucks.

The sanding head that I got with mine is pretty big to be honest with you. I tried to sand some wood casing on a door frame that was really close to the cabinets in the kitchen, and when I got to the spot that had the cabinets next to it, I could not get it flat on the wall........the triangle sanding head is pretty big, I would say 2.5 inches on each side and it triangular shaped, so if you have enough room to get that thing where you need, then yes, it would be fine, but if you don't have a lot of wiggle room, you may try to see if Dremel has a sanding attachment that is not as large as the one that comes with it.........it all depends on the room.......also, the unit itself is pretty big considering I have seen some that are smaller.............this one works great for all other applications I have came across however.

Light duty sanding - it has worked for an hour plus or minus. I must say, that I have sent it back once and soon the second time for a faulty off/on speed change switch. I feel it was not properly engineered to handle the dust (wood) that is incurred using the tool.

Yes the sanding drums can be used. Keep the speed to less than 15,000 RPM. Instruction for use cam be found on the Demel web site. Look for "Pet Nail Grooming Using a Dremel Rotary Tool" instruction. The instructions are in the download area.

I think this is better suited to sanding corners and areas that are difficult or inaccessible with other power tools. It moves rapidly and may damage veneers.
