Orbital Sanders

We sell orbital sanders from Makita, Bosch, DeWalt, HiKOKI, Metabo, Einhell, Black+Decker, Flex Power Tools and Olympia Power Tools, covering 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2 sheet sizes in both corded and 18V cordless configurations.

An orbital sander moves its pad in small circular orbits to give a smooth, swirl-free finish, making it the standard choice for general woodworking, furniture finishing and surface prep before painting or varnishing. Sheet size affects both how much area you cover per pass and how easily the sander fits into a specific job, so matching sheet size to the work is the main decision when choosing a model.

Orbital Sanders – Product list

Choosing a sheet size

1/4 sheet palm sanders, such as the DeWalt DWE6411 and Metabo FSR-200 Intec, are compact and easy to control one-handed, suited to smaller furniture pieces and detail finishing. 1/3 sheet models, including the Makita BO3710, step up in coverage while staying manageable for general joinery work. 1/2 sheet sanders like the Makita BO4900 and Makita 9046 cover the most area per pass, suited to larger flat surfaces such as tabletops, doors and flooring prep.

Palm and finishing sanders

Palm sanders, including the Makita BO4555 and Flex Power Tools MS 713, are shaped for one-handed control and general finishing work. Makita's DBO range of 18V finishing sanders, including the DBO380Z, DBO381ZU, DBO382Z, DBO480Z and DBO481, gives a wide choice of cordless finishing sanders across slightly different pad sizes and grip styles, letting you match the exact model to hand size and job type.

Corded vs cordless

Corded orbital sanders give continuous power for extended finishing sessions without battery changes, with wattage in this range spanning from 135W on lighter models up to 600W on the Makita 9046. Cordless 18V models, including the Bosch GSS 18V-10 and Einhell TC-OS 18/187 Li Solo, are sold as bare units in most cases, so check you have a compatible battery and charger from the same platform before ordering.

Standards and compliance

Orbital sanders sold here comply with IEC 62841, the international safety standard for hand-held power tools, and carry CE and UKCA marking confirming they meet the relevant EU and UK safety requirements. Some corded models are available in both 110V and 240V, so check the voltage stated on each product page before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the job. 1/4 sheet sanders suit smaller pieces and detail finishing, 1/3 sheet models balance coverage and control for general joinery, and 1/2 sheet sanders cover the most area per pass, best for larger flat surfaces like tabletops and doors.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but both describe compact, one-handed sanders built for smooth surface finishing rather than heavy material removal. Pad size and grip shape vary slightly between models, so check the specific dimensions if you need a precise fit for the work.
A corded sander gives continuous power for extended finishing sessions and is often lighter without a battery attached. A cordless 18V model gives freedom of movement without a trailing cable, useful on site or when working around furniture and awkward layouts.
Most cordless orbital sanders in this range are sold as bare units without a battery or charger, so check you have a compatible battery from the same brand and voltage platform before ordering.
Orbital sanders are built for finishing and light material removal rather than fast stock removal. For stripping paint or removing significant material quickly, a belt sander is generally the more efficient tool.
