What are some downfalls of using a random orbital sander?
The biggest disadvantage of random-orbit sanders is their round sanding surface, which makes it impossible to get in corners. Also, they can remove too much material if held in place too long. On average, they cost about twice as much as orbital sanders, but their improved performance more than makes up for the price.
