Dissipate electrostatic discharge (ESD) for safety when sanding. These sanders have a copper ground wire to divert ESD away from users, sensitive equipment, and combustible materials. They’re often used for sanding across multiple materials—such as wood to fiberglass—as doing so can generate harmful static. Connect the copper wire to the ground of either a vacuum system or an outlet. These sanders also have two 1-megaohm resistors for protection in case there’s accidental contact with an electrical current.

Also known as random orbital sanders, these sanders move in small irregular circles. No single part of the abrasive follows the same path twice, resulting in a swirl-free finish. This leaves a more consistent finish than rotary or orbital disc sanders. To prevent clogs and remove debris from your environment, attach these sanders to a vacuum system. Designed for heavy duty applications, these sanders are powerful enough to quickly remove lots of material without getting bogged down. And they’re lightweight, so they’re easy to control and won’t tire you out after long periods of use. Use with hook and loop sanding discs.

With a fixed rotary movement, these sanders remove more material from workpieces than random orbital sanders. However, they may leave swirl marks on the surface as a result.

Dust-collecting sanders have a built-in vacuum that connects to a self-contained dust-collection kit (sold separately). The vacuum prevents clogs to extend the life of your sanding discs and keep your workspace dust-free. The vacuum shroud is clear and has a view port so you can see the edge of your sanding disc as you work.

Sanders for adhesive-back discs come with a backup pad for use with adhesive-back discs.

Sanders for quick-change discs are used with Style B quick-change discs and require a backup pad (not included).

Use a single sander for the entire process of cleaning and prepping your workpiece—these sanders move in both rotary and random orbital motion with the flip of a switch. To remove paint, rust and other materials, you’ll want to use the rotary motion. Shift to the random orbital motion to smooth and blend the surface without leaving swirl marks behind. To prevent you from accidentally bumping the switch, it’s recessed in the top of these sanders. Use with hook and loop sanding discs.

Dust-collecting sanders keep your work surface clean and reduce the amount of dust flying in the air. They also keep your sanding abrasive from getting clogged, so it will last longer. They have a self-generated vacuum built in, so you can hook them up to a portable dust collection kit (sold separately) that includes a 6 ft. long hose and reusable collection bag. Alternatively, you can hook these sanders up to a central vacuum system.

Prevent swirl marks to leave a more consistent finish than rotary disc sanders. Also known as random orbital sanders, these sanders move in small irregular circles. No single part of the abrasive follows the same path twice, resulting in a swirl-free finish. A dust collection system draws dust through the sanding pad and into a collection canister. This keeps your work surface clean and reduces how much dust is kicked into the air. Use with hook and loop sanding discs.

Sanders cannot be sold outside the United States due to product regulations.

Create a consistent finish on quick sanding jobs where you don’t have access to air or electric power. Also known as random orbital sanders, they move in small irregular circles to leave a more consistent finish than rotary disc sanders. The variable-speed motor lets you set the speed for any task, from heavy material removal to delicate surface sanding. To conform to curves and crevices for a consistent finish, they include a cushioning pad. Use these sanders with hook and loop sanding discs. The battery and charger are also sold separately.

To remove dust from the air and extend the life of the sanding sheet, these sanders have a dust collection bag.

Leave your material with a more uniform finish than if you used a standard sheet sander. Also known as random orbital sanders, these sanders move in small irregular circles. No single part of the abrasive follows the same path twice, resulting in a swirl-free finish. Because they are rectangular, they reach into corners and fit along edges better than disc sanders. Sanding sheets are sold separately.
