I suspect the STW answer is something like a Festool RO125 Rotex Sander. When you find out how much they cost you might want an alternative. Cheap ones are fine IMO. I've got a balck and decker I inherited and it does the job. The paper makes a bigger difference. I also have an AEG cordless multi tool which has a couple of sanding attachments. Handy for tight spots and the cordlessness is useful.

Sorry to be late but a random orbital would have been a much better choice, you dont have to spend the earth either.

Bit late here too. I use a Draper Tri Base which was cheap enough, gets in tight places & has had some hammer!
