can you use any types of sandpaper?

Grit does not matter; does need to be adhesive type and cu to shape of head/attachment used.

I use any paper that is not "shiny". you can also mix in about 25% organic matter(dried leaves,twigs, grass, etc.). I just use a cheap paper shredder. size doesn't really matter much.

This is an abrasive tape that will feel like sandpaper. If you do not want the feel of sandpaper I would suggest using the resilient / rubberized material.

You can as this product acts just like high grit sandpaper so you would want to wet sand with it as you would in the final stages of finishing. You may only need a abrasive polish or rubbing compound and a buffer or a lot of elbow grease if you are just trying to restore luster.

There is a rubber sanding drum attachment which is about ½-inch diameter on which you mount various grits of sandpaper. I guess you could smooth plastic with that. Both inside and outside curves, but will have to watch not to get the material too hot or it will melt and imbed in the sandpaper grit.

Yes, it comes with sandpaper installed already, about 100 grit but no extras. I hope this has answered your question.

without a doubt. the difference will be in the grit of sandpaper use. the finer the smoother and less marks. i used do finish carpenter worksand that's when i first used one. having using one ever since that time. this is my 3rd one.

I have used it for sanding, but if you can find a Velcro style pad why not?

I tried sanding it an it was extremely hard to do. I had to stop using it because it was burning up all of my sandpaper

I don't think you can use either to sand. They are all either scrubbing or buffing. Don't think they are "rough" enough to sand.

You can use the sander in any direction. Others have suggested an orbital sander, but if you're looking to get your work done quickly, this will certainly do a quicker and more powerful job.

Yes, if you mean the small bands of "sandpaper." There is also a metal pear shape attachment that I use on my heals that does a great job in smoothing the skin.

Put a small piece of paper towel on first, then slide on the sandpaper band. You can use toilet paper too.

Mine was something like 120 grit sandpaper. Pretty abrasive. You can strike a match on it easily.

You do have to buy specific sized paper or you end up having to cut larger sheets into strips but doing that generally leaves you with useless scrap paper you can't use on the sander. It comes with a plastic punch which is nice because you put the paper on and press the punch into the paper to open the dust holes... to my experience very little sawdust actually goes up those holes you just opened and into the dust bag but that is really my only complaint.

No. You can leave the hook and loop pad on and use the regular sandpaper. I would recommend purchasing a punch plate to be able to use your shopvac with the regular sandpaper.

You can use charcoal. Or anything. It works pretty nicely. Though it may smear on to another page. It won't bleed through.
