Handy little tools, sanders let you quickly strip weathered exterior paint, remove a finish, smooth a tabletop, and do basic metal prep. We reviewed the best power sanders of 2020. Use different abrasive grits on your sander’s belt and disc. For example, use an 80- or 120-grit belt for shaping, and a 150 or 220 disc for detailing.

Depending on the abrasives you’ve put in, for example, it can be a paint remover or a fine sander. If it’s attached to a stationary or benchtop tool, you can hold the item you’re sanding by hand to achieve a finer level of sanding – including on curved surfaces.
