Get the best corded orbital, drywall or belt sander for the job
If you have a lot of sanding to do, going at it by hand just won’t cut it—you need the extra grunt of an electric sander to get the job done.
Dealing with interiors? The long reach of an extendable drywall sander will make smoothing out plaster joints on ceilings and high walls a breeze. Want something you can take anywhere? A great all-rounder, the corded orbital sander gives that smooth and even finish you need while minimising swirl marks. The low-vibration of a finishing sander will get that ultra smooth finish ready for painting or staining, while the versatility of a sander polisher means it can tackle both sanding coarse materials and fine buffing. And, when you’ve got a tonne of material to smooth out, belt sanders are your ultimate go-to.
So whether you’re smoothing out a deck, upcycling that piece of furniture, or are onsite getting the job done, the friendly team at your local Tool Kit Depot will sort you out with the right sanding gear for your needs. Know what you’re after? Grab your sander online!
Corded Sander FAQs
Which is the best electric corded sander?
When it comes to which sander is the top pick, it’s all about selecting the right tool for the right job. Consider the scope of the project—do you need aggressive material removal or fine finishing? What about the surface area—is it large or small and detailed? You’ll also want to make sure your sander is comfortable to use, fits your budget and has dust collection built-in if you need it.
The best orbital sander will be one that’s the right size, and comfortable enough to use for as long as it takes to finish the job. For prepping surfaces to a silky smooth finish ready for painting, or for getting into tight corners, intricate areas, and detailed work where larger sanders can't reach, a triangular shaped tool like the Makita finishing sander will ensure a professional finish.
Is an orbital sander better than a belt sander?
While both have the grit to get down, the choice between orbital and belt sander depends on your needs. If the task at hand calls for smoothing wood surfaces, removing paint, or preparing surfaces for finishing, then reaching for a smooth operator like a Bosch orbital sander or Makita orbital sander will be the better choice. Looking to rip a lot of rough material off fast? Then you’ll want a belt sander—it’s the real deal for leveling rough wood or removing old finishes.
What are belt sanders used for?
From a mini belt sander to a wide belt sander, they're the backbone of any seasoned tradie or DIY specialist’s toolkit. Whether you're trimming to a scribed line, sanding down those rough surfaces, levelling fresh hardwood floorboard, or getting artistic with some freehand rounding and shaping, a belt sander has (and often saves) your back. They’re fantastic at quickly smoothing rough edges and rough cuts, leaving your work looking great, without the need for elbow grease. Just make sure you’ve got good respiratory protection, as jobs like these can be tough on the lungs!
