What happens here

Sherry elaborates on the three available sizes: the 3x4, 5-inch, and 6-inch sanders. She explains that the choice of sander depends on the application. For instance, the 3x4 is ideal for a finish room (like for cabinets) because it works well with sponges and can reach corners. For sanding raw wood or in cabinet shops, a 5-inch or 6-inch sander is preferred due to their larger swath, with the 3/16-inch swath being more aggressive than the 3/32-inch swath.

Goal: The discussion moves to the three different sizes of sanders (3x4, 5-inch, 6-inch), highlighting their primary uses and the concept of swath and aggressiveness.

three different sizes like you talked about we've got the three by four the five inch and the six inch the five inch well let's go back to the three by four first the three by four I use mostly in the Finish room that's where I see the biggest advantage to for the three by four because I'm using it with the sponges and it gives me the longer life with the sponges and it allows me to get in corner to corner I'm not as concerned with swirls because I am using the sponges it's less likely to give me swirls if I'm sanding on raw wood I'm going to go either with my five inch or my six inch again it depends on what I'm doing if I'm building cabinets if I'm in a cabinet shop I'm gonna probably use my five inch and the reason being it's a little bit if you've got two different swaths you got either a 3 16 swath or you got a three Thirty second Swap and the 3 16 is a little bit more aggressive than 330 32nd is our finishing sander right so I'm going to use the five inch in in a cabinet situation if I'm finishing a large table or if someone would call you about solid surface I'm going to go to a six inch and the reason I'm going to use a six inches because it's a much bigger footprint you can see the difference in the footprint just by putting the three of them together this is a small footprint it's going to call cover a small area this is going to cover a little bit bigger area because we've got that random pattern bigger a surface and then of course the six inch is even bigger so if you're doing a conference table or something to that effect you want to use the six inch because we can get a lot more coverage and it can go through it much quicker and um I notice all of them they they're
