What advantages does the FANZTOOL orbital sander offer?

The FANZTOOL orbital sander offers a number of advantages that make it an indispensable tool for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and a sophisticated design, it's powerful, ergonomic, and durable. Here are the key highlights:

• BRUSHLESS EC MOTOR: The 350W brushless EC motor ensures particularly efficient and energy-saving operation. The tool's perfect balance makes the sander comfortable to hold and allows for precise work over extended periods.
• LIGHTWEIGHT AND LOW-VIBRATION: Weighing just 1.2 kg, the FANZTOOL orbital sander is not only extremely lightweight, but also extremely comfortable to use thanks to its low-vibration motor. This innovative design reduces wrist strain and significantly improves operating comfort.
• QUIET AND QUIET: The sander operates at a noise level of just 60 dB—so quiet that even longer work sessions remain pleasant. Ideal for DIY enthusiasts who value a quiet environment.
• DURABLE AND RELIABLE: The brushless motor technology makes the FANZTOOL eccentric sander particularly low-maintenance and durable, so you can enjoy your tool for many years.

With the FANZTOOL orbital sander, you'll experience a new dimension in surface finishing – powerful, low-vibration, and incredibly quiet. Perfect for demanding DIY projects and professional results.

Which speed is right for me?

The FANZTOOL orbital sander offers precise speed control from 4000 to 9000 rpm , giving you maximum flexibility for different applications. With multiple adjustable speeds, you can perfectly adapt the sander to the task at hand. Here are the best uses for each speed setting:

• 4000-5000 rpm – For delicate surfaces: The lowest speed is ideal for sanding delicate materials such as soft wood , painted surfaces , or thin veneers . It allows for gentle work without the risk of damage or overheating.
• 5000-7000 rpm – For precise, fine work: This medium speed is optimal for fine sanding work , such as smoothing wood surfaces or preparing paintwork . Perfect for achieving an even surface without rough sanding marks.
• 7000-9000 rpm – For fast and powerful sanding: The highest setting is ideal when you want to remove material quickly, for example, from rough wood surfaces , stripping metal, or removing thick varnish and paint . This setting achieves powerful results on hard materials.

How is the braking system of the FANZTOOL orbital sander constructed?

The braking system of the FANZTOOL orbital sander is specifically designed to maximize both the efficiency and longevity of the machine. Instead of a conventional motor brake, the sander uses a disc brake , which offers numerous advantages:

• Disc brake instead of motor brake: The disc brake allows for a lighter and more compact design of the grinder, making it particularly user-friendly and comfortable to handle. This design also reduces the overall weight of the machine without compromising performance.

• Modular design for easy maintenance: The grinder's braking system is based on a modular design that allows you to easily replace individual components, such as the brake pad unit, as needed. This prevents damage from overheating or wear and ensures the machine remains reliable even under intensive use.
• Longevity through replaceable components: The ability to replace the disc brake separately significantly extends the lifespan of the machine. You can even order an additional brake pad unit at the time of purchase to ensure you always have a spare part on hand.

How do you choose the right grit for your sandpaper?

Choosing the right sandpaper grit is crucial for achieving optimal results with the FANZTOOL orbital sander. Different grits are suitable for different applications – from coarse material removal to fine finishing. Here's an overview of which grit you should use at which speed and in which scenario:

• 80 grit – For coarse material removal: The 80 grit is perfect if you want to remove material quickly and efficiently, e.g., from old paint layers, rough wood surfaces, or for preparation before rough cutting.

Recommended speed: 7000-9000 rpm.

Tip: Work carefully with high pressure to avoid creating unwanted indentations.

• 120 Grit – For fine work and smooth surfaces: This medium grit is ideal for smoothing wood surfaces or sanding between coats of varnish. It allows for more precise work and removes minor imperfections.

Recommended speed: 5000-7000 rpm.

Tip: Perfect for intermediate sanding in DIY projects such as furniture restoration or wood decorating.

• 240 grit – For fine sanding and a perfect finish: When it comes to finishing tasks, such as polishing painted surfaces or refining high-quality wood, 240 grit is the best choice. This fine grit ensures a particularly smooth surface, ready for coating or varnishing.

Recommended speed: 4000-5000 rpm.

Tip: Use this grit at lower speeds to achieve an even surface without sanding marks.

Why are there such big price differences between the two orbital sanders?

We offer two models of the FANZTOOL eccentric sander:

FANZWORK eccentric sander 5mm sanding stroke with 150mm sanding pad

FANZWORK 300W eccentric sander with dust container and dust-protected switch

The price difference between the two machines mainly depends on whether a brushless motor is used. The specific differences are as follows:

feature	Random orbital sander with brush motor	Random orbital sander with brushless motor
Performance	300W	350W
Speed ​​control	Not available	Available, 4000 to 9000 rpm
Area of ​​application	For small, spot grinding work	For large-scale, professional applications
Dust management	With integrated dust container	Must be connected to a vacuum cleaner
Vibration and stability	Higher vibrations, less stable	Low vibration, very stable
Suitable for	Beginners and small projects	Advanced and challenging projects
Recommended target group	DIY enthusiasts who want to do simple jobs	Professional craftsmen and DIY enthusiasts

Is using an orbital sander harmful to your health?

The health of our customers is important to us. Therefore, we would like to provide you with some tips and advice on how to use the FANZTOOL orbital sander safely and in a way that protects your health. When used properly and with the right safety measures, it is completely safe to use.

• Wear respiratory protection

Sanding creates fine particles such as wood dust and paint residue that can be inhaled. To protect your lungs, we recommend wearing a respirator specifically designed for fine dust. This is especially important when working with painted or treated materials.

• Use gloves

Sanding can release wood chips or paint particles that contain potentially harmful substances. To protect your skin from potential irritation or corrosion, always wear sturdy protective gloves .

• Brushless motor: The low-vibration motor ensures smoother and more controlled sanding. This not only reduces dust but also minimizes strain on your joints.

• Dust control with a vacuum cleaner system: Our sander must always be operated with a vacuum cleaner. You can use either the specially designed FANZTOOL industrial vacuum cleaner or a compatible model from another manufacturer. This system ensures that most of the dust generated is directly extracted before it becomes airborne.

Is the FANZTOOL orbital sander also suitable for women?

The answer is a resounding yes ! The FANZTOOL orbital sander was designed to be equally suitable for all DIY enthusiasts – regardless of gender. With its lightweight and compact design (only 1.2 kg), the tool fits comfortably in the hand and is effortless to use. This makes it ideal for women and anyone looking for a handy yet powerful tool.

To underscore our belief, we deliberately shot the images above with a shorter, Asian woman. This not only demonstrates the ease of use of our random orbital sander, but also shows our respect for female DIY enthusiasts.
