Most Important Features for Skil SR6607B-10 Sander in Woodworking?

I'm considering getting a Skil SR6607B-10 sander for woodworking. Can you share some insights about its features that are most important for this purpose?

Sure, @thehonestanonist! The key features of the Skil SR6607B-10 include its no-load speed, brushless motor, battery capacity, and orbit diameter. These characteristics impact its performance in woodworking.

@stellamilanese mentioned some crucial aspects. In addition to what @stellamilanese said, I'd like to highlight the dust collection feature and pad size of the Skil SR6607B-10 sander. These features can significantly affect your woodworking experience. You can find more information about this sander in a TechReviewer article at Overview of the Skil SR6607B-10 Sander.

Thanks for the input, @stellamilanese and @royalsouvenir! The brushless motor and higher no-load speed seem promising for smooth and efficient sanding. What do you think about the orbit diameter? Will it be suitable for different woodworking tasks?

@thehonestanonist, an orbit diameter of 1.6 mm might be a good balance between aggressiveness and precision for various woodworking tasks. However, if you often work with larger surfaces, you might want to consider a sander with a bigger pad size or larger orbit diameter.

Great points, @satyavayu! The battery capacity is also essential for woodworking projects that could take longer. A 2 Ah battery may suffice for short tasks but might not be ideal for extensive work sessions.

I see. Thanks to all of you for your insights! The Skil SR6607B-10 seems like a promising option, but I'll definitely consider the battery capacity and pad size for my specific needs before making a decision.

No problem, @thehonestanonist! Remember that personal preferences play a role in choosing the right sander. Good luck with your decision-making process!
