Basic info on sanding
The December 2004 issue of FWW, pages 40 - 45 has a good article on sanding. Although it doesn't mention the "industrial" belt sander end of the process it does cover ROS, Pad, Detail and Hand sanding in detail.

I find my Proton elcheapo air driven dual action(ROS!)does a good job, trouble is with these sanders are they are very CFM hungry the poor old 14cfm compressor cops a hammering.

Re the question why cheaper orbitals leave swirls, I think it's the bearings falling to bits that gets shrapnel on the workpiece.........
Having said that I was happy with an Arlec Enforcer ROS from kmart for several years before scoring my metabo for a goodie price. The Arlec is still going BTW.
Cheers......Sean, no swirls on me
