A straight-line sander moves the sanding pad in a straight line while a random orbital sander moves in a circular or elliptical pattern. Random orbital sanders are typically better suited for finishing work while straight-line sanders are better for aggressive sanding applications.
The right sandpaper will depend on the type of material you are sanding and the desired finish. Mirka offers a range of abrasives designed for different applications, from sanding bare wood to preparing surfaces for painting.
