From stripping a tired finish to smoothing a surface before its next coat, the PROTECO 125mm random orbital sander is a useful addition to the workshop. Use it with the appropriate sanding discs to prepare wood, metal, paint and varnish for refinishing.
Its 350W motor and adjustable 8,000–12,000 RPM speed range let you adapt the tool to the task. The 125mm hook-and-loop pad makes changing grits straightforward, and the supplied dust bag collects sanding dust as you work.

Sanding Wood, Metal, Paint and Varnish
Wood: Smooth boards, furniture and other wooden surfaces before applying a finish. Work through progressively finer grits when a refined surface is needed.
Metal: Prepare suitable metal surfaces with a sanding disc intended for metal. Clean the surface and select a grit appropriate to the amount of material you need to remove.
Paint and varnish: Key an existing coating before refinishing or remove a worn finish in stages. Use an abrasive suited to the coating and avoid staying in one spot for too long.
For each job, check that the sanding disc is suitable for both the material and a 125mm random orbital sander. Match the disc holes to the pad when you want to use the dust collection system.
