The main difference between orbital sanders and sheet sanders lies in their working principles and application scenarios.
The characteristic of the orbital sander is that its base plate not only swings, but also performs centrifugal circular motion around the center. This design enables the orbital sander to cover a larger area during the sanding process while providing a more uniform sanding effect. Its main structure and working principle include dust suction box, dust suction fan blade, switch, motor, etc., and through the synergy of these components, efficient sanding operations are achieved. Orbital sanders are suitable for occasions that require large-area, uniform sanding, such as furniture manufacturing, architectural decoration, etc.
The working principle and structure of the sheet sander (the specific type is not clearly mentioned, it may refer to a belt sander or other types of sheet sanders) may be different from that of the orbital sander. The sheet sander may focus more on sanding or polishing the surface of wood, metal, glass, plastic, etc. by swinging the sandpaper or polishing material mounted on the base plate at a high speed. This type of sander is widely used in industries such as building decoration, furniture manufacturing, automobiles, and shipbuilding. It is easy to operate, safe, and reliable.
The orbital sander achieves uniform sanding over a large area through the centrifugal circular motion of the bottom plate, which is suitable for occasions that require large-area processing and uniform effects; while the sheet sander can grind or polish a variety of materials through high-speed orbital swing, and is widely used in many industries such as building decoration and furniture manufacturing.
