Hey guys, i have been told to strip the paint with a DA sander, but can i use an Orbital sander? thats all i really have access to.

A D/A Sander is a DUAL ACTION Sander. That means it can sand in either an Orbital or a Circular pattern.

So knock yourself out. Just be careful if it's an electic sander, make sure you hook up the vacuum attachment.
