Thread: advice for a sander & polisher

I am looking at building a pair of speakers and finishing with a black satin painted front and a wood veneered sides on mdf and seeking some advice on what sort of sander to get. My thoughts are to get a sander that can do both the preparatory rough to fine sanding and finish of polishing the finished painted and varnished surface.

But there are a myriad of sanders out there!

Just looking at the Makitas there are
Makita 125mm Random Orbital Sander. #BO5021KX1
which seems a good choice but also

Makita Finishing Sander. #BO3700SP

and also
Makita 180mm (7 ) Sander - Polisher. #9207SPB
which also seems really good.

Not hung up on any brand just using these links/pics as demos of the very different types that are available.

Any recommendations to type of sander/polisher would be greatly appreciated!
