  • Was going to hire one but decided to buy a random orbital sander, probably 125mm and up to £60 have 8 doors to rub down and need to fill some gaps on the floor with water based gap filler plus wood dust and then sand. could hire the big walk behind sander for this but that doesn’t do doors :-) .
    Needs to be corded as we only have one Makita battery and that’s not enough for a lot of sanding.
    any recommendations would be helpful.

  • Very limited experience* but I bought this Erbauer one based on price and reviews.

    Haven't used it in anger, but have been very happy with it for the few jobs so far. Ironically the main reason for getting it is the same as you... but the doors are waaaay down the TDL.

    As always for me, a bag or case is an important factor, but especially for something with a cable and a load of attachments/accessories.

    *used a fairly shit B&D one of my folks back in the day, and mate's Makita one a few years ago.
