Its random orbital sanding action makes it an excellent choice for finish sanding and "screen and recoat" applications.
• Ideal for homeowners and flooring professionals alike, this machine delivers professional-quality results while being easier to operate than traditional drum sanders. Whether you're preparing a floor for a fresh coat of finish or completing the final stage of a refinishing project, this orbital sander provides outstanding results with minimal risk of damaging the floor.

• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
• The random orbital sanding action of the OBS 18 and OBS 18DC produces a smooth, flat surface ready for refinishing. Unlike drum sanders, orbital sanders are less aggressive and are ideal for removing minor imperfections and preparing floors for additional coats of finish.
• This machine is especially popular for interim maintenance sanding and "screen and recoat" applications, allowing users to restore the appearance of hardwood floors without performing a complete refinishing job.
• For best results, many customers use this machine after initial sanding with a drum floor sander to eliminate sanding marks and create a superior finish.
• TRANSPORTATION:
• Most customers transport this floor sander in the bed of a pickup truck or inside larger SUVs with the rear seats folded down. Standard passenger sedans are generally not recommended due to the size and weight of the machine.
• The unit is manageable for most users and can typically be loaded and unloaded by one or two people depending on comfort level and lifting ability.
• For homeowners and flooring professionals seeking a smooth, professional-quality finish, this 12" x 18" orbital floor sander delivers exceptional results for both full refinishing projects and routine screen and recoat applications.
