The difference between a 3/16 and a 3/32 orbital sander is the size of their orbit, which is how far the sanding pad moves in a tiny circular motion. A 3/16-inch orbit has a larger movement, removing material faster but leaving a rougher finish, while a 3/32-inch orbit is smaller, providing a finer, smoother finish but removing material more slowly. The choice depends on whether you need faster sanding or a smoother surface. The quality of the sander plays a big part in the finish .
