- Comparatively inexpensive. Wooden houses cost less than those built from modern construction materials.
- Environmentally friendly. Wood is 'breathing'. Unlike other construction materials, it is carbon neutral; wooden structures can absorb and store CO2.
- Safe and Strong. Wood constructions are rather flexible, no wonder they are used in earthquake-prone areas. In addition, they are light enough to be built on weak soils.
- Multiple types of wood to choose from. You can select the one with desired properties, combine several types, paint them any color you like or varnish - it depends on your needs and taste.
- Easy to renovate. You can give your wooden house or furniture a new look.
- Durability. Owing to contemporary wood treatment methods, your timber house will be protected from any damage for many years.

Wonderful Wood Transformation
It doesn't matter what kind of woodworking you are involved in at the moment - building a house or making furniture, proper finish is important in any case. It ensures an item's durability, fire-retarding features, great looks, and prevents wood decay. To preserve the natural texture, wood is often covered with varnish. If you are going to renew a wooden item, the first step is to remove an old finish, which is not difficult with an orbital hand sander. After that, wipe the surface and let it dry. It is recommended to use a primer to fill the pores or tiny scratches. Apply the first coat of varnish with long and even strokes along the wood grain and let it dry. Sand the surface with a fine grit paper and wipe it to remove the dust (repeat the procedure for each coating, except for the last one). Apply the second layer onto the surface and let it dry. After the final varnishing let the top cover dry during the time given in the instruction.

What Features to Compare
The key aspect in selecting a random orbital sander is to consider what you are going to use it for and decide which Type you need. The most common are palm grip models, easy to operate with only one hand. They are perfect for any kind of minor sanding, allowing smooth and quick finishing. Right-angle random orbital sanders usually have higher capacity (bevel gears transmit the motor power to the driveshaft). In spite of a lower OPM rate, they allow efficient and swift heavy-duty sanding. What is more, right-angle models maintain their speed even if you apply some pressure in order to remove paint or glue residues without damaging the surface.
To get the power tool that ensures the best results as quickly as possible, consider the orbital sander's Efficiency. The first feature that affects the performance and overload protection is the amperage of the motor. The next important issue to consider is a sanding speed. The more orbits per minute (OPM) your sander makes, the faster you can work, while lower speeds allow a really accurate control of the tool. As for the disc size, the larger grit disk you use, the faster you can sand/polish the surface. On the other hand, a smaller diameter allows efficient surface finishing of the edges.
You should check what Extra Features (Extras) each orbital sander has. A variable speed control will help you get the maximum out of your chosen random orbital sander and ensure the perfect operation on any kind of surface. Some manufacturers include a tool case for convenient storage and transportation of an orbital sander along with its accessories.
