Sanders. What's the differences?

What the differences/advantages/disadvantages of dual action sanders and random orbit sanders. Aren't they basically one in the same?

Yes, a random orbit is the same as a DA. The real issue is quality! The better quality you get the less air is uses. Buy a cheap one and you better have a beefy compressor to support it! If you use it a little, cheap might be OK, if you are going to use it on the whole pickup...consider spending a little more, you won't be disappointed.

The palm sander is the way to go, its so much easier to get a good result than with the old type DA (one with the handle).
