All useful, no time wasted over explaining. The full review: 10 for 10!
Great tips. I'll add: Wipe off the workpiece between each sandpaper grit. This will keep the more coarse shavings off the finer coarse sandpaper.
Thanks for adding this!
Excellent content and editing. No blah blah blah, just the real info . Top notch for sure. JIM
Great stuff! I am anxious to try these new ideas (new to me) on my next job, which starts tomorrow. Thanks again for great content!!
I've been putting so much pressure down on the pad and getting tired so quickly. Stopped doing that after seeing this video and it makes so much difference!
Wanted to stop by and say thank you for filming in 1440p!! So much better, the production quality is fantastic.
Thank YOU for giving me feedback. I couldn't take it anymore. No matter what I did I wasn't getting things how I wanted so I took the plunge. So much better now!
I think you covered it all pretty well. I know that the random orbit sander will damage the corners when you bump into it, so I just do a hand sanding with a sanding block. I didn't think of putting a rigid materials at the side to protect it. Now I know what to do next time. Thanks for sharing my friend.
I can’t believe I haven’t found your page before now. Every video I’ve watched so far is awesome and helpful. Hope you get more followers and sponsors in your future, you deserve it
Thank you so much for your quick and informative video tips ! I’m a novice furniture painter starting to dabble into sanding and painting furniture. I’ve had a tough time finding a video showing how to use the random orbital sander properly. I’ve especially been trying to find out the proper way to start and stop. Your the first one to address it. One question I still have is how do I know what speed to set on my sander. My purpose is to strip finishes off of wood furniture. Thanks again for your video and hopefully you’ll be able to answer my last question. 👍
You are always so helpful, thank you. I am sanding 1/2 and 1/4 logs for my tiny house build and these tips are extremely useful
Good tips man, there's a lot of good stuff here. Your production value has really progressed since I started watching you last fall. Keep it up bud
Thanks a ton for this comment. And for sticking around!
This is how “how-to” videos should be, short and straight to the point.
When sanding the inside of a box, like a serving tray or trunk.......use blue tape to prevent the spinning disc from carving out grooves in the adjacent panels.
Great tips and great video examples! I just ordered the multipack pack and a protector pad, looking forward to trying them out on my next build. Thanks for the great content!
I dont know....i have tried over 25 different sanding disc brands and types and festool Granat has by far been the best and still to this day have not found any to be better.....keep up the great content
This is a nice, useful, and high-quality video. Excellent. Thank you.
1)Thanks for the quick tips.
2)I must be different I actually enjoy sanding, that means the project is nearly finished
Fair enough! Can't argue with that at all.
I never do this but I actually went and bought the hook and loop pad and some cubetron disks. You're very convincing
I'm weird I guess....I love sanding. It's an early reveal of my work. I built a 5" dia hand sander with a handle on the back and a Velcro pad. I use my sanding discs with it. It's a simple build and a game changer in the sanding game. Great video and channel! Thanks Jody.
ok. tks
Great tip video as always. Lots of useful info in there. I keep a deck of old playing cards in the shop. Great for shims and for using like you were talking about on vertical walls while sanding. I've also had those cubitron disks for a few weeks. Absolutely love them. Great product. Thanks!
I like that. I keep a bunch of old business cards in the shop for random things as well. Might need to add playing cards to the list.
Wow I never knew they made them hook & loop backer pads! I actually love sanding down wood to see the "new" wood revealed!
I have a variable speed sander. Do you have any tips on what speed I should be using with what grit, and on what material?
Good tips. I once threw away a sander because the Velcro was worn out and wouldn't hold a sheet of sandpaper anymore, even tried to super glue new Velcro (didn't work). Will be utilizing the links.
Very helpful, thanks for sharing.
Nice lighting!
Great video. Well done.
I recently picked up some Diablo Sandnet discs for my Milwaukee orbital and I am very impressed with its lifespan. However it seems to run a bit more course than other brands at the same grit.
Thank you for tips! I just (yesterday) accidentally burned the "brake" of my dewalt sander and had to buy a new replacement for it. I was putting pressure on it like you said NOT to do (1:43) 😐 and yes I was scrubbing as well 🤦🏻♀️. Also not sure if you receive a small something from the links you provided for the sanding discs and the backing pad but I used your links to purchase some. I do 4, 5, 7 and 8. I know most of them are not a good idea but I still did them. I'm def going to try not to do them anymore. It's literally costing me more time and money. Thank you for the tips 👌🏻
A small something, yes, so thank you very much. I often times find myself breaking the rules with sanding all the time. Sometimes I have to remember to slow down and do it right. Hard to do when you're always on the go. I think you're going to love the disks! Let me know what you think.
Excellent information. One problem I have with leveling the surface is the one when sanding a floor where you don't want to sand the whole floor down to the depth of deep gouges.
Just one tiny spelling correction: At 3:56, "corner" is missing an "r".
Thanks for a great bunch of tips i will be aware of how i sand from now on. Also 80 grit is also good for a itchy rump. Just thought i wo
Great video. Thanks for the tips man. Short and sweet.
Any thoughts on using the large rubber sticks to clean off sandpaper? I got one at the local Harbor Freight location and love it!
I was taught to wait until your orbital is full on going. Takes 3-5 seconds then put orbital is this wrong? Should I start on the wood?
It's one of those things, you don't think you need advice about. But yeah, thank you I needed some of that. This is a good video.
Thanks for this video!
Coners?
Fantastic tips, dude! Thanks a lot! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great. Thanks
Thanks 4 the GR8 tips
I like your new ‘Dark Mode’ 😉
Thanks! I'm experimenting. Getting tired of the same old thing.
@@InspireWoodcraft +1 here, lighting for this video was fantastic for the subject matter!
quick question about sanding edges, would you recommend using the riggid oscillating spindle sander for edges or do you think tats too aggressive? would you prefer that or by hand?
Great tips
If I don't tilt mine slightly, it just dances violently around, what the heck am I doing wrong?
Is it OK to use fi150mm disk on a fi125 sander?
Wasteful. But the 5-inch sandpaper he plugs in the video is 127 mm.
Awesoome information, lots I didn't know. Thanks
I went out and bought an orbital sander, a cheap one, that way I won't feel bad about screwing up a piece of wood to test it on.
Jodie dude hope your well and your home community getting through in the aftermath. Thoughts with ya
Tx....excellent !
Thanks, that was helpful.
Helpful
I use anti vibration gloves when I sand.
Why its called random orbital? My first time to buy one so i need to understand it~ thanks in advanced^~^
But it's so much faster to use the edge on stubborn spots....
hahaha!
Great tips!
❤️❤️❤️
The ccubitron 3M sandpaper is the best saver and last 4ever
Iv'e been buying my stuff from ebay and wish. In comparison they are what you pay for at best ok. When starting up i needed to keep costs down but now I will not. Need to have the proper stuff or it really reflects on the workmanship. I have that brand and It does make a difference.
👍👍✌️
nice commercial
What the hell is a comer, and why do I need to cover it.
1:35- More Good?! Hope that was an attempt at humor. Im sure you meant “better”. The English language has taken a hit from texting and the music industry
Unfortunately, it's hard to find an under-30 who owns a dictionary, perhaps because finding out the correct way to use English diminishes self-esteem.
IM old enough to remember covid 19
Can we have less of the piersings please.
Good stuff, thanks!
