Sanders for working on wood, plastic, stone and other materials are a highly specialized tool for professional surface treatment. Along with models with the best performance, there is a wide range of amateur devices on the market, the parameters of which are somewhat inferior to the leaders in the segment, but this is more than offset by a more affordable cost.
This overview presents various types of grinders. All these models have one thing in common - they are the best in their class, and in some respects they have no equal in the domestic market.The selection of the rating is based on the parameters declared by the manufacturer and the opinions of specialists engaged in professional grinding work. The assessment was also influenced by the opinions of ordinary owners using this type of power tool for personal purposes.
The best belt sanders
This type of grinder, which has a certain resemblance to an electric planer, can process even surfaces of materials such as wood, stone, metal, plastic, etc. The tool uses an annular emery cloth as a consumable, which is worn on rollers. Below are the best models of tape machines.
4 Bort BBS-801N
Country: Germany (made in China)
Average price: 4440 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
The Bort BBS-801N medium-speed grinder is equipped with an 800 W electric motor. It is quite enough for the unit to do an excellent job with the processing of wood, plastic and even metal surfaces (the speed of the broach is 280 m / min). The tape machine has a speed controller (6-position switch) and a mechanism for adjusting the position of the tape, which eliminates its possible slippage during operation. From the front, the top of the case can be opened, allowing this machine to sand in hard-to-reach areas.
The special design provides the possibility of using the unit in an inverted position - just lower the clamping handle and fix the Bort BBS-801N with clamps. This is very useful when sanding small items that are processed by simply pressing against a rotating emery surface. Here, by the way, the existing trigger lock will be most useful.The package includes a dust bag, a pair of spare brushes for the motor and three sanding belts - you can immediately start working with the tool at no additional cost. As for the reliability of the unit, this is not a professional device, but its cost is more than justified. As for the quality, you should pay attention to the fact that the grinder has a 2-year warranty from the manufacturer, and this says a lot.
3 Status BS75
Country: Italy (made in China)
Average price: 3463 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
The presented model of the Status BS75 grinder is designed for cleaning and subsequent finishing of various surfaces. This tool belongs to the tape type and has a rather impressive power for the budget segment - 900 watts. The length of the belt is 533 mm, and the speed of its movement can reach 430 m/min with the possibility of adjustment. For greater reliability while operating the Status BS75 machine, an additional handle is provided.
In the process of working with wood or any other material, order will be maintained at the workplace. To do this, the Status BS75 grinder has a dust container, instead of which it can be connected to a vacuum cleaner. The package also includes a frame for adjusting the depth of polishing. With the help of special clamps, this machine can be used stationary (tape up).
2 Hammer LSM 1000 PREMIUM
Country: Germany (made in China)
Average price: 9799 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
Hammer LSM 1000 PREMIUM is the heaviest - almost 7 kg, which is an absolute record among grinding tools in this category.The impressive weight is largely due to the metal case, which in itself is quite rare - it is difficult to disable it with a normal fall (and every user has had to drop the tool at least once). Previously, there was a dust collector in the kit, but it clogged very quickly - the device is powerful (1200 W) and works efficiently.
Because of this, the manufacturer recommends connecting the tool to a construction vacuum cleaner - this method also allows you to work clean and not use respiratory protection. In addition, the tape machine has a speed control - with its help you can set the unit to remove the varnish layer from the parquet, or sand unprepared wooden panels. With all the obvious advantages of the model, users do not at all consider its cost to be too high, rather, on the contrary, it is deservedly positioned as one of the best machines and, in terms of its characteristics and quality, is not much inferior to more expensive professional units.
1 Makita 9404
Country: Japan
Average price: 16119 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
A powerful, and heavy enough grinder so that during the work it does not exert much effort to press against the surface. It copes well with large volumes, but for processing small areas (bookshelves, etc.), you should choose another tool - in such cases it is almost impossible to complete the task with this tape machine. Pleased with a decent length of the power cord - 4 meters, which sometimes allows you to do without carrying (for example, when sanding wood parquet in a room).
For more comfortable working conditions, there is a dust collector, instead of which you can connect the suction hose of a construction vacuum cleaner.The smart design of the grinder ensures fast removal of the belt and armature brushes on the engine - these operations take a minimum of time, which is highly appreciated by professional builders. You can also adjust the speed of rotation of the tape - there are five modes in total. In addition, the trigger has a locking button and with long uninterrupted operation, and the Makita 9404 tolerates it perfectly, there is no need to hold it all the time.
The best brush sanders
This tool can be safely attributed to professional equipment - because of its specificity, it rarely attracts the attention of amateurs who purchase a grinder to perform various household chores. The best models of this type of instrument are presented in this category.
3 Interskol ShM-110/1400EM
Country: Russia
Average price: 8835 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7

2 Storm! AG1014P
Country: Germany (made in China)
Average price: 7470 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
High performance brush sander Sturm! AG1014P is perfect for processing and professional surface cleaning from various kinds of contaminants. Thanks to the function that allows you to adjust the number of revolutions in the range of 1000-3000 rpm, this machine can be used for a wide variety of surfaces made of wood, plastic, metal, etc. The tool needs such consumables as a sanding brush.

1 Makita 9741
Country: Japan
Average price: 27299 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Unlike most brush grinders, Makita 9741 compares favorably with the fact that the abrasive drum is completely covered by the casing, which certainly makes the professional tool safer. High performance is what owners value this device most of all. He copes well with 20 sq. meters of floor (from different types of wood) for a couple of hours. Yes, edges and corners are inaccessible to him, but this grinding unit “clicks at once” for large volumes. At the same time, the engine power is nothing at all - 860 watts.
The width of the consumable is 100 X 120 mm. The kit includes a nylon brush, with which you can effectively reveal the texture on the treated wood. For brushing, you need a cylinder with a pile of brass or steel. There is an outlet for the dust collector (it is not included in the kit), but given the performance of this “monster”, it is completely unnecessary - it would be more correct to immediately attach it to a construction vacuum cleaner. The reliability of the tool is best indicated by the presence of a manufacturer's warranty - it is given for a year, which is more than enough for a grinder of this level.
The best eccentric sanders
Machines with an eccentric mechanism of rotation (creates vibrational vibrations), unlike other types of grinding tools, are able to fine-tune surfaces made of wood, plastic, concrete, etc. and prepare the material for varnishing or painting.
4 PATRIOT OS 125
Country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 2239 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.2
One of the most inexpensive grinders became a member of our rating for a reason.The PATRIOT OS 125 is variable speed, and the eccentric design allows for up to 24,000 vibrations per minute during rotation. It does an excellent job of polishing wood, cleans putty and behaves well when processing plastic - just reduce the speed. The engine is only 270 W, so the owner should not count on the high performance of the tool. For home and garage, PATRIOT OS 125 will be an excellent choice, especially since the price, which is the most affordable in this category of eccentric machines, contributes to such a decision.
Despite the presence of a dust collector in the kit, many owners have noticed its unsatisfactory connection to the unit - it jumps off every now and then. To connect to a vacuum cleaner, an adapter is required, which is not provided in the kit. However, otherwise, and especially with regard to the quality of the work performed, the grinding tool performs its functions quite conscientiously.
3 ZUBR ZOSHM-450-125
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 2490 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
Grinding machine BISON ZOSHM-450-125, despite belonging to the category of budget tools, has quite decent power (450 W). The eccentric design allows the disc to create vibrations when rotating up to 13 thousand rpm. There is a speed control, thanks to which you can adjust the nature of the work on wood or any other material. The kit comes with a dust collector, but when working with this unit, it is better to connect a vacuum cleaner - there will be practically no dust.
Despite the manufacture by Chinese factories, the quality of assembly and components is high enough so that the manufacturer can provide a warranty period of 5 years. This is the best evidence of the reliability and excellent performance of the machine speaks in its favor more than any, even the most laudatory review. In addition, the owners of ZUBR ZOSHM-450-12, sharing about the capabilities of the tool, speak exclusively in a positive way.
2 DeWALT DWE6423
Country: USA
Average price: 5930 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Upon closer examination of one of the best models of eccentric machines, one can immediately highlight such an advantage of the DeWALT DWE6423 as a solid ergonomic body and high-quality assembly. Despite moderate power (280 W), the grinding tool supports rotation speeds up to 12,000 rpm (there is a speed control) with a platform stroke of 2.4 mm, which is great for finishing surfaces, including wood.
We can safely say that this machine is quite quiet and easy to use - the vibration load on the operator's hands does not lead to rapid fatigue, so the continuous workflow is quite comfortable. DeWALT DWE6423 has a working disk diameter of 125 mm and is equipped with a dust collector, instead of which it is better to connect a vacuum cleaner hose for greater efficiency. Of the shortcomings, only one was noticed - the lack of a case for carrying and storing. Otherwise, this eccentric sander demonstrates high performance.
1 Makita BO6040
Country: Japan
Average price: 22865 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
The best example of a professional tool that can compete on equal terms with the products of more expensive brands (the same Festool), deservedly became the leader in the rating among random orbital sanders. Soft start and a speed stabilization system, as well as an engine brake, speak of the thoughtfulness of this device, which demonstrates high efficiency in operation. Abrasive sheets with a diameter of 150 mm are attached to the sole with Velcro, and there are channels for dust evacuation in the base plate itself. Using an adapter (included) Makita BO6040 is easily connected to a vacuum cleaner.
In addition, the grinder has a fairly high power (750 W) and a decent platform stroke of 5.5 mm, which allows processing wood of various levels of complexity. At the same time, the weight of the device is 2.7 kg, and during finishing grinding it is practically not required to apply clamping forces - the gravity of the unit itself is enough. Like all tools of this class, Makita BO6040 has a case in which it is much easier to store and transport it to the place of work.
The best vibratory grinders
Vibratory flat sanders are distinguished by their simple design and low cost of abrasive consumables - a regular emery belt of a certain length is used, which is easily fixed with clamps. This tool is great for processing wood, concrete.
4 PATRIOT OS 105
Country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 1729 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.2
The quiet and compact PATRIOT OS 105 vibratory sander is designed for small jobs in wood and other materials.The area of the sole allows you to install abrasive sheets with dimensions of 104 X 112 mm. Due to its small size, there are no additional handles. The case itself is a comfortable grip under one hand, on which the operator's palms will be quite comfortable.
The dust collector is made in the form of a neat plastic case. Actually, the whole machine is assembled very high quality, which, at a more than affordable price, cannot but rejoice. The platform vibrates at a frequency of 13,000 vibrations per minute - excellent performance for finishing polishing. At the same time, the engine power is 240 W, which, given the small working surface, makes the PATRIOT OS 105 quite nimble. Given the modest size of the grinder, it is usually most often used as a household tool, but there are exceptions. When pieceworking of small surfaces is required, it can do a great job.
3 BOSCH GSS 23A
Country: Germany (produced in Malaysia)
Average price: 4430 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
The BOSCH GSS 23 A grinder is a manual tool with which you can carry out the highest quality and precise processing of various materials. Made of durable metal, the vibration platform, which is the basis for fixing the sanding sheet, makes up to 12,000 vibrations per minute, without the possibility of adjustment. At the same time, the power consumption of this machine is quite small - only 190 watts.
It is a pleasure to work with the BOSCH GSS 23 A grinding tool.Due to the low weight of 1.7 kg and ergonomic design, it can be operated both with two hands and with one, while the operator will have to wait a long time for significant fatigue. The micro-filtration system provided in the model provides better protection against dust, which allows you to safely use this tool indoors. Thanks to the endurance of the BOSCH GSS 23 A engine, it easily withstands many hours of work, thus ensuring excellent productivity.
2 Makita 9046
Country: Japan
Average price: 15412 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The Makita BO3711 vibration type grinder is a tool that is quite pleasant to hold in your hands. According to his characteristics, he is more than worthy to take the place of the leader. The reason why this did not happen should be sought in the cost of the device - and it is the highest in this category. Nevertheless, according to the owners, the car is worth its money. The stroke of the platform is 5 mm, and the area of the treated area is 115 X 280. The engine tolerates continuous loads well and practically does not heat up excessively.
A long service life, the absence of maintenance work as such (replacing brushes and cleaning and lubricating once or twice a year) and high productivity - the tool pays for itself quite quickly. True, in the event of mechanical damage (fallen, etc.), repairs are very expensive (some owners who have encountered such a problem say that it is better to purchase a new one). However, when handled with care, the only thing that the professional user will miss in this grinder is the length of the cord.
1 Hammer PSM 300
Country: Germany (made in China)
Average price: 3249 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Like all Hammer equipment, the vibratory grinder is distinguished by its solid assembly and the quality of its components. In work, it has proven itself to be a reliable and stable tool, in which everything is in its place and works like clockwork. The dust collector that comes with the grinder can be replaced with a connection to a vacuum cleaner - for this there is also a special adapter for a standard nozzle diameter. On top of that, the set includes spare brushes for the electric motor and abrasive sheets.
It grinds well both the floorboard (at maximum speed) and objects made of more delicate plywood, the main thing is to choose the right speed. It is certainly far from industrial scale, but for domestic conditions or piece work of a Hammer PSM 300 vibration machine with a 300 W motor, it is enough. This was appreciated by many different owners who note the unpretentiousness and reliability of the tool with any intensity of use.
