The 6mm orbit is 20% more time-efficient than the traditional 5mm orbit and, when used with the suggested abrasive grades between P120 and P320, generates the same high-quality finish. It has many of the same features as its two rivals as well, including a plug socket for your sander, automatic stop/start, mobility and variable speeds. I’ve been doing tests on this project in smaller, isolated areas of the house with a cheapo Rigid Random Orbital. This progress has consequently raised the bar for dust extractors, and Mirka has risen to the challenge. Mirka’s dust extractors are meticulously crafted to facilitate dust-free sanding when used in conjunction with electric and pneumatic machines and hand-sanding blocks.

Having the right sanding tool for the job is crucial if you want to achieve the best and smoothest finish. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH).Only negative is it can get rather heavy, so not as easy to use as say the Mirka or Indasa if sanding a large ceiling.

It does its job perfectly fine, better extraction than the Festool Midi if I’m honest, however it is noisier. Although the suction seems pretty strong in 4″ piece of flex hose, performance take a huge dump when the pipe is reduced to the size of a typical sander’s dust port. My second thread in this Community, I've read lots of great posts and it looks a thoroughly helpful place to be.Class M is the lowest grade allowed on most building sites; however, I have never noticed any dust coming through at all. You guys have a much wider range of experiences in this area than I do so I really appreciate your thoughts and ideas. This is a UK and ROI specific subreddit, r/DIY has a lot of US Specific content, things like products to use, where to get them, laws and codes that don't apply to the UK.

I've seen reviews saying be sure to get mesh sanding sheets for the best dust extraction, but then product specifications that don't mention whether or not theirs are mesh. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. By means of a system of valves, the air flow passing through the filters is inverted in alternation every 30 seconds, thus ensuring efficient cleaning action. It's designed for use with any abrasive sanding sheets or strips that use a hook n loop / Velcro type fastening system (including Sianet, Abranet, evoMESH etc).The original, multifunctional net sanding material, Abranet combines high performance and a longer lifespan than traditional abrasives, making it a cost effective solution. This innovative system allows the operator to continue working, without any interruption or reduction in the extraction process. The Mirka DEOS Delta orbital sander is perfect for the precise and efficient sanding of corners, profiles and vertical hard-to-reach at any angle. Just recently in a wood working magazine I read an article about someone who had a Rigid Vac and built a sound proof box around it.

Designed for dry sanding by machine or by hand, its true dust-free sanding characteristics result in a cleaner work environment, as well as a better surface finish. Designed with their user in mind Mirka sanders will always give you the best and most efficient sanding experience and finish. with regards to your Grizzly dust collector, I have noticed that my 2HP 220 V model requires the very fine bag to be able to match the dust-trapping performance of a dust extractor. The cyclonic collection system works very well on the high velocity vacuum systems (and you can make one yourself pretty easily). I've got several rooms in my house (currently covered in a very sloppily applied layer of emulsion) to sand before patching up and repainting.Mirka Handy is specially useful when sanding patches on smooth flat ceilings where drywall dust has the longest time to travel before it lands on something.

I use a commercial grade 7 inch edger sander for subfloors before laying flooring and it picks up 95% of dust and never breaks open. To add to Kitfit's excellent advice - use an oscillating multitool with a sander attachment to get into the corners that the random orbit cannot.
