Can something like the ets ec 150/5 be used on curio cabinets with rounded edges

[Pjjk]

I’ll be starting a project to sand and pain in-wall book shelves and was looking at the ets ec 150/5.  I’ll also be doing doors and window frames and I’m wondering if the ets ec 150/5 can be used on things like window frames and curio cabinets with rounded edges.

I hope to start restoring old furniture once I’m done with my book shelves.  Thanks in advance if you have any thoughts.  I’m also planning on buying a dust extractor.

I use my ETS EC's on round overs all the time, no issue there!

If you're worrying about the pad getting destroyed, you can buy 3rd party ones off ebay for not much at all.

Sure. You'll want to consider a soft pad for the curvier surfaces to help reduce the risk of "flatting" those areas inadvertently. You'll want to also do hand sanding in those areas to even things out, too.

Just my opinion, but that's not the sander I would choose for the jobs you've outlined. Getting around and into details is not the best application of a large pad sander that excels at keeping surfaces flat.

I use an RO-90 with a thick foam interface pad to do rounded edges. The same sander comes with a triangle pad that gets into nooks and crannies on things like windows and doors.

The RO-90 isn't the best sander for wide flat areas, but for curves and tight areas, it's the bees knees. I have an ETS-125 for the flat stuff.

I would use a thick, soft interface pad, no matter the sander. However, smaller is better in this situation.
