What is a drywall sander?
A drywall sander is used in smoothing drywall to achieve a uniform and polished effect. Smoothing drywall is an undertaking that involves the application of three layers of plastering material. After applying the finishing layer, you can then complete the sanding process. Due to cost and time, it is advisable that you sand drywall only once.
Make sure to always wear a mask while sanding. This will protect you from any dust and particles as you work on your job. Safety should be taken seriously at all times. There are many drywall sander options available, but the right one for you depends on your budget and the surface that you will work on. The sander options include:
1. Portable cable sander
These are the types of sanders used by professionals. They feature an add-on boom ideal for high walls and ceilings. However, they also tend to be heavy, powerful and expensive because of the nature of the work that they are capable of.
