Buying Guide

For finish carpentry and cabinet work, a random orbital sander is essential — straight-line sanders leave visible scratches that require additional work. The orbital pattern means each pass follows a slightly different path, preventing the groove marks that appear with belt sanders or block sanding. Start with coarser grit (80-100) for material removal, progress to medium (120-150) for surface preparation and finish with fine (180-240) before applying stain or finish. Mesh sanding sheets last longer than paper discs as dust passes through rather than clogging the surface. The JCB Pro brushless 18V model is the right choice for professional daily use; the cordless standard model suits occasional trade applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sanding discs fit JCB orbital sanders?

JCB orbital sanders use standard 125mm hook-and-loop (Velcro) sanding discs, compatible with all major brands of 125mm orbital sander discs. JCB mesh sanding sheets are included with the Pro model and are available separately.

What is the difference between a random orbital sander and a belt sander?

A random orbital sander moves in a random elliptical pattern that prevents swirl marks and produces a fine finish suitable for painted and varnished surfaces. A belt sander moves in a single direction and removes material faster but leaves visible scratches that require further work.

Can JCB orbital sanders be used for metal sanding?

Yes, with the correct abrasive disc. Use aluminium oxide or zirconia discs rated for metal for best results. Always use dust extraction or a dust bag and wear appropriate PPE when sanding metal.
