    This is my first project on a bathroom. I was told I have to sand 3 levels of sandpaoer to make sure i get a good smooth finish then primer before I paint. Your video was so much easier to understand on how to attach the sandpaper compared to most mens videos. Thank you!

    I purchased a used one as the piece is a bit pricey, but the machine th-cam.com/users/postUgkxG6fbm3cHBd7CNTjk5D-dwYe9c9tCB9ZN has surpassed my expectations. We sand small parts by hand often, sized around 1"x1/2," and specifically look for a piece that's designed to be vertical. The motor has plenty of torque and great speed settings. The only inconvenience I had is that the disk measures 5" where we trim 6" stick-and-sand disks down easily by mounting it then cutting with a box cutter.

    • @CaseyGCreates
      @CaseyGCreates  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! There are several things that could've happened. How do you have the dust collection set up? Is there a bag on it? It could be that you just need to empty that out. You might've been pressing the sander down while sanding and it could have something mechanical broken inside. Depending on what brand and how old it is, it could have a warranty still left on it. If not the repair might be more than to get a new one.

      Hi! Thanks for watching! I'm not sure what the velcro thing is for on a 1/4 sheet sander. A random orbital sander (they're round instead of square) has velcro and the sandpaper is the other velcro side for easy changing. Does it have clamps on the side to hold the sandpaper? Or is the velcro the way to hold the sandpaper?

Make sure to hold it in both hands while you're using it the first few times until you're comfortable.

    • @CaseyGCreates
      @CaseyGCreates  ปีที่แล้ว

      It doesn't have the hole punch or the holes at all? As far as I know a sander needs the holes to allow the dust that you're sanding off to be vacuumed into the dust bag so it doesn't go everywhere.

      @@dmariewalker6880 There are no holes on the pad where you put the paper or just the paper? It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that seems pretty unsafe and inefficient. Without the holes, the dust doesn't have a safe place to go. It either gets stuck in the sandpaper, so it's not as smooth a finish or it goes out in the air and then you breathe it in. It's good that you're using it outside though!

      Yes that can happen if you’re holding it too hard. It’s normal though! The sander vibrates and your hands aren’t used to vibrating like that so there will be some getting used to it.
