Ridgid - Rigid R2611 6-in. Random Orbit Sander
The Rigid R2611 is a dual mode 6-in. random orbit sander.This is a close relative of the Metabo, with a similar dual-stroke random orbit and an identical weight, but there are some differences:
Mode selection is done by sliding a button similar to the direction control on an electric drill, making a visual check easy, but the tool was not as smooth as the Metabo, with a slight wobble in the fine mode and considerable rocking and wood grabbing in coarse mode. The trigger-lock button for sustained operation was difficult to engage. The Ridgid boasts a soft start and a pad brake. Stock removal was faster than the Metabo.
