What is orbit plate?

An orbit plate, also known as a rotary orbital plate, is a machine tool that is used to sand, polish, and buff various surfaces. The machine is designed with a circular plate that rotates in an orbital motion to create a random sanding pattern, which helps to reduce the risk of creating swirl marks on the surface being sanded. The orbit plate can be used on a wide variety of surfaces, including wood, metal, and plastics, and is particularly effective on curved surfaces and hard-to-reach areas. The machine is available in various sizes and specifications to suit different applications, and can be operated using different grades of sanding discs and polishing pads. The orbit plate is commonly used in woodworking, automotive refinishing, and metal fabrication applications.
