Metabo SXE400 2 Amp 3-1/8-Inch Random Orbit Sander
I am retired and do woodworking as a hobby. Most of my woodworking is turning wood on a lathe to make bowls, closed vessels and other pieces made from downed trees. A professional wood turner recommended the Metabo 3″ random orbit sander for finishing turned objects. I had been using right angle drills with sanding attachments for all my power sanding, using 2″ and 3″ disks from 80 grit to 400 grit. This machine does a great job. It is well made and heavy duty. The finish it produces is excellent with no scratches from the sand paper. 220 grit leaves a very smooth finish! The disc size is metric so it is slightly larger than 3″. I bought 3″ Velcro sanding pads to fit my sandpaper discs.
The Metabo tools are industrial tools. I have seen them in use on construction projects. As such they cost more than consumer products but they are well worth the extra cost. This tool gets heavy use in my shop but I expect it to last many years.
