    Recommendation on Orbital Sander

    What make and model is best? Quality of finish most important.
    Thanks in advance.

    Orbital as in non-osculating rotary or random orbital? Or capability for both?

    The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...

    I've got a Festool on layaway so I haven't tried it yet but I bought it because of all the good things I've heard about it. I've also heard that the Bosch is top notch too and cheaper.
    What you listen to is your business....what you hear is ours.

    Own the Festool Rotex. It rocks, you'll find plenty of fans. Wasn't cheap though, but I use it as a sander (both Ros and Orbital modes) and a polisher.

    Agreed...my choice, too.
