Tips when buying a power sander
To guarantee you get the best possible value for money and to ensure it lasts you a long time, there are a few simple tips to follow:
- As sanding creates a lot of dust, it is a good idea to get one that has a dust bag facility attached and clean it after each use to stop dust entering the motor area.
- Make sure to always have a supply of sandpaper handy as it’s not advisable to keep sanding with thin paper.
- If you are using a belt sander, ensure to always remove the belt when finished and this will help extend the belt’s life.
- Store your sander in a safe place and wrap in plastic to protect it if you won’t be using it for a long time.
