Which sander is best for sanding drywall joints

[fiskbuggaren]

Aren't you making it too complicated now? This is fine. We're talking about a room if I understand correctly.

Has anyone seen a similar one but with a vacuum cleaner connection?

Anyone seen the equivalent but with a vacuum cleaner connection?

If you had read the thread, you would have also seen the Abranet set, which is an excellent choice.

Available with a handle and vacuum cleaner connection from Mirka (Abranet)

I think I've seen these at K-Rauta and also at craft supplies before.

The only thing about Abret (couldn't resist) with Abranet is that the sanding mesh never runs out! + you need to have a construction vacuum cleaner.

Misguided thinking, One room now and many more in the future... Why start your plastering career in a room where you and the whole room are covered in sanding dust?

with hand sanding there is almost no dust flying around, if you sand calmly and deliberately most of it settles in a pile on the floor where you can sweep it up

An industrial vacuum cleaner might work, but if you use a "regular" vacuum cleaner it will wear out quite quickly, full of dust throughout the machine, and then kaputt.

About to fill and sand drywall seams in a renovated room, as well as an MDF window reveal.

I'm wondering which type of sander works best for these tasks: the "old" reliable orbital sander, a random orbital sander, or another type.

For the window reveal, I'm thinking of using a multi-sander—is that right?

What do you use?

I read this thread some time ago, got hooked, and bought an Abranet. After using it quite a bit, I am even more hooked.
So Abranet is my 100% recommendation to you.

I'm going to sand an entire upper floor soon, will be doing it all with Abranet, maybe even with a grin on my face...

Except when sanding ceilings.

 

[Elkludde]

With the exception of when sanding ceilings.

you are absolutely right, but the sanding is minimal when using gyprock.

Yes, that's written in "zillions" of threads here on the forum. However, I have tortured my regular vacuum cleaner quite a bit and it's still alive. The construction lamp against the hose, however, caused lifelong ailments...

Now I've ordered an Abranet. I also saw that Biltema has large vacuum cleaners for 600kr that had received good test results.

Biltema's large vacuum cleaner is very cost-effective
good suction and large container, however, you should complement with a filter bag outside the pleated filter
Biltema doesn't have such, at least not when I bought one, but Klasse has one that fits

There is one thing that abranet really sucks at, and that is sanding wallpaper seams (paper). It clogs immediately. Don't be in too much of a hurry after puttying either. If you get wet putty in the mesh, it's best to just throw the mesh away afterward.

 

[Drömhus2012]

Wallpaper seams work perfectly with abranet, but you have to wait until it's dry, which you have to do with whatever you plan to sand with, so there's no difference.

For wallpaper seams, I use a seam plane, it is very convenient.
