I am looking to source a small palm sander with 2 or 3 inch pad to sand small spaces. If anyone knows of a place that I can purchase one please let me know . I have not been able to find one
Thanks, David
Do you need power?
I bought:
which has been great.
Either corded or battery would work
Thanks
I have a dremmel oscillating tool. They make triangle shaped heads for those with various grits of sand paper. I find it handy to get up into corners and the oscillating tool is handy for cutting off tabs on cnc projects.
Most of the oscillating tools have the sanding option.
A more common alternative would just be a sanding block. You can make your own with a piece of wood and some cork on the bottom. If you make one be sure to make your size multiples of a piece of sand paper so you can pre cut sheets to fit on your block and not waste a bunch of sand paper. There are a bunch of videos on youtube about making your own sanding block. In some ways hand sanding can be superior because you have a harder time over doing your sanding.

I bought this air powered Ingersoll Rand random orbital sander that uses 3" velcro sanding pads, and I bought extra pads and cut them down to 2" and 1" diameters.
I have a pancake air compressor. Is that sufficient to run that sander or do I need something larger
The literature reads 513 L/min air consumption which is 18.1cfm. Not sure if it’s slpm/scfm but I would assume so.
I’ve ben eyeing one of these Arbortech Contour sander attachments to an angle grinder for a while now.
I also like the oscillating multi tool with the sanding pads, and if your looking for a lower cost one they can be found at Harbor Freight.

I was completely disappointed. Maybe it would work for balsa wood but I have not had success with anything else.
