Can a random orbital sander be used to sand between paint coats on woodwork?
Petel
I have to say I've done quite a bit of home painting and some furniture refinishing. I think a random orbital sander is probably far too aggressive for between paint coats. One can generally remove about a 32nd of an inch of material in a normal pass. I can't imagine that you'd have much of the first coat of paint left. I'd try either a very fine grit sanding block used gently, or else just sand with fine grit sand paper.I mean really fine grit. the idea is to rough up the surface (ie. keep it from being perfectly smooth)not put any sort of sanding marks in it.

Orbital sanders for large and tough jobs?
Random orbital sanders are an excellent sanding tool and are especially great on larger, tougher jobs. The sanders work at a very high speed and can make quick work of difficult sanding jobs.

The sander must always be kept flat to keep from damaging the wood. Take care not to tilt the sander as it will cut into the wood. If you have a large tough job, choose a random orbital sander.
