Whether you need a belt sander, pad or random orbit sander, detail sander or disc sander/polisher, our broad selection of power sanders promises smooth results.

Let’s face it, sanding is chore. Nobody likes to sand with a block for hours at a time. That’s why palm sanders and other electric hand sanders have become so popular in the woodworking field. What used to take hours now takes mere minutes with the right power sander. An electric sander can smooth even the roughest surface to a satiny sheen, leaving a perfectly prepped surface for a smooth coat of varnish.

For rapid stock removal and flattening uneven surfaces, the traditional belt sander is the sander of choice, while the newer random orbit sander, often called an orbital sander, excels at smoothing out any scratch marks in the wood and preparing the surface for finishing. Detail sanders are designed to get into all the corners that the bulkier belt sanders and disc sanders are unable to get to. A good detail sander has a narrow, angular tip that reaches into corners and between obstacles so no surface is left unsanded. A pad sander is similar to a random orbital sander, but it generally has a larger sanding area and accepts large sheets of sandpaper. Most pad sanders are designed to accept either hook-and-loop sandpaper discs or discs with a pressure sensitive adhesive coating (PSA).

Rockler offers a complete line of sanders from top manufacturers, including Porter-Cable, Bosch, and the renowned line of innovative sanders from Festool. Whether you’re looking for a rugged Festool Rotex sander or a finer palm-grip finishing sander, Rockler is ready to meet your needs.
