Festool Palm Sander vs Festool Orbital Sander NZ

Trying to decide which Festool sander is right for you? Tool Junction has you covered. 

Festool Palm Sander NZ

The Festool Palm Sander, also known as a 1/4-sheet sander, is a compact and lightweight power sander designed for light-duty finish work. Its square sanding pad allows it to reach tight spots and corners that orbital sanders may struggle to access. 

Palm sanders are cost-effective, with their sandpaper sheets being more affordable than the specialised hook-and-loop pads used by orbital sanders. While palm sanders are perfect for finishing small woodworking pieces and accessing inside corners, they may not be suitable for stripping thick layers of material.

Festool Orbital Sander NZ

On the other hand, the Festool Orbital Sander is a versatile handheld power sander that operates with a unique elliptical and back-and-forth motion. This "random" motion results in a smoother finish without the swirl patterns that standard orbital sanders can create. 

The Orbital Sander is ideal for large projects, providing a uniform finish without noticeable edges. It excels at sanding large, flat pieces of wood, stripping varnish or paint from furniture, and smoothing drywall mud. With some models offering variable speed settings, you can customise the sanding power to suit various materials and surfaces.
