Introduction to Brushless DC Sanders

this Christy Idaho painter here on paint live TV today I got Sherry with me she is the sanding expert here at Unida and we're going to be talking about uh three Sanders that Unida sells and we also sell on plate light Supply Co my favorite sander the 3x4 I use the five inch sander and I even use a six inch sander when you would actually use these Sanders and I want you know Sherry you to just talk a little bit about the inner workings of the Sanders what makes them so special and unique so we'll just start off and give us some information about them great thanks Chris so basically these Sanders are all brushless Sanders and what that means is in the past the electric Sanders had brushes in them right and so as they run the brushes are actually in here and they actually start to wear down and that's actually what makes the sander stop running now we've got going on to a brushless sander right so there's no brushes in here and that means you the life of the sander is much longer so the other positive to these Sanders are they're DC driven and that happens in the handle there's an inverter in the handle that switches it from AC to DC that allows you to be able to plug it into a AC plug right so it gives you a much longer light there's three different sizes like you talked about we've got the three by four the five inch and the six inch the five inch
