Can I use this tool for projects other than woodworking?

Depending on the appropriate sanding pad and technique, you can use it for sanding and polishing various surfaces such as metal or plastic.

Absolutely! This tool is designed to cater to both beginners and experienced woodworkers. Its user-friendly features and ergonomic design make it easy to use for beginners, while its exceptional performance meets the demands of experienced professionals.
Can this be used to help flatten a large wooden slab?
Well, there's no substitute for either a wide belt sander, CNC machine or using a router sled as a flattening solution for larger slabs however.... As standard, your GEM 11-inch orbital sander (with dust shroud) comes with a firm drive pad. That's because we've found that our customers much prefer it for all sanding and flattening applications. The firm drive pad does a much better job of taking down those high spots, especially, when used with more agressive paper such as our 80-grit Fabramesh Aluminum Oxide sanding discs.
