An eccentric sander is very useful for finishing surfaces. The major advantage of this kind of sander is the irregular motion of the sanding disc which greatly reduces unsightly marks on the workpiece.
Safety
When using an eccentric sander, always take the time to properly clamp down your workpiece, hook up the shop vac and wear safety glasses. Depending on your material, you may also need a dust mask.
As with all our sanders, please go outside if you can't keep the airborne dust to a minimum!

Sanding Discs
Typical sanding disc sizes are 120 or 150 mm. We are not currently keeping them in stock so you should be prepared to bring your own.
The sanders currently available use disks with 8 holes. Bauhaus only sells discs with 6 holes, however with a hole punch they can be "converted" to fit the 8-hole sander.
If you plan to remove paint, make sure to use special discs that don't clog as easily (usually with a white coating)! A spatula or a plane is usually more appropriate for this kind of work, though.

The Festo RO 2 E had a broken switch when we got it, we overrode that and installed a cord switch instead. That means it has no protection against accidental turning on after you plug it in (keine Anlaufsicherung)!
Festo RO 150 E
| ToolInfoBox Festo RO 150 E | |
|---|---|
| |
| Used with: | 150 mm sanding discs with 8 holes |
| Location: | wood workshop (ladder shelf) |
| Access Requirements: | after repair (see #25) & personal introduction |
| Manual: | nearly identical to Festo RO 2 E (manuall.de) |
The Festo RO 150 E needs to be repaired (see #25) before it can be added to the wood workshop. Since the other one is working, this is not overly urgent though.
