I'm guessing the 330 is just an orbital motion. The one I have does
two motions at once, rotating, and orbital. So it sands quickly but
doesn't leave the marks that a plain rotating sander would. Does it
leave a surface as fine as a finishing sander? I think so but my
judgement doesn't have a lot of experience behind it.
