Hi all.
I've read though nearly every thread on this subject so apologies if it's a semi rehash of an already trodden path. I'm currently renovating my house and looking for a sander to take out the imperfections in the skim that's been applied the plasterboard following a mist coat (i've given a mist coat to the fresh plaster as it's easier to see the imperfections for a little filler before sanding). Generally it's a light sanding over the entire wall but there are a few areas where a little more sanding is required, ie around electricity sockets etc and where the wall hits the ceiling in some spots. I'll also give the walls another sand after the next coat but with a finer grit.
I'm looking at either the
[list type=decimal]
[*]ETS EC 125/3
[*]ETS EC 150/3
[*]ETS EC 150/5
[/list]
Oh I am also making a few tall cabinets in my larder which are going to be ply wood frames so I'll also be using the sander to finish some of the frames amongst other bits of joinery that I plan to tackle - wardrobes in the loft, cabinets in the bathroom and shelving and alcove storage for the front room - these will be a mix of ply, veneered ply and painted MDF that will require a very fine sand before the final coat.
Any help much appreciated. I think I'm leaning more towards the 125/3.
Any help much appreciated.
