        A:  No it is brushed. But how much will you really use it?  For the price it’s great. Lifetime parts and labor too.

                          Q:R8606 is a random orbital sander. The one I have does not spin. Is it broken? The random orbit sanding pattern is produced by simultaneously spinning the sanding disk and moving it in small ellipses.

                          A:  Hello, Cntinuum - Thank you for your question. This should spin if it is not touching a surface but once you touch a surface it will stop and then vibrate, oscillate and very slowly rotate. I hope this helps!
