Here's the dumb question of the day! Whats the difference (other than the obvious) between an orbital disk sander & the 1/4 or 1/2 sheet/block sanders? The only difference I see in most is that with the block sanders you have to cut the 8.5"x11" sheets of sandpaper by hand. After comparing, a few have motor amperage. or rpm. difference and lets not forget the dust pickups. Not much else. Would appreciate some educations. Thanks
