A power instrument called an electric sander is used to sand different surfaces, usually in order to smooth them out, remove material, or get them ready for painting or finishing. Electric sanders are widely utilized in metallurgy and woodworking, as well as for surface refinishing in home renovation projects. Electric sanders come in a variety of varieties, each intended for a particular kind of sanding job.

• Random Orbital Sander: This adaptable sander minimizes swirl marks by generating a random sanding pattern by combining rotary and orbital movements. Both palm and bigger, more powerful variants are available, and it's widely used for finish sanding.
• Belt Sander: A belt sander works by encircling two drums with a continuous loop of sandpaper. It works great for quick material removal and is frequently employed for rough sanding jobs. Both portable and stationary versions of belt sanders are available.
• Sheet Sander: Also referred to as a finishing sander, this instrument rotates a square or rectangular sheet of sandpaper back and forth. Sheet sanders are rather straightforward to operate and appropriate for fine finishing tasks.
