For tough jobs, these sanders use roughly 1.5 times more air than standard air-powered disc sanders. Made with a steel housing, they’ll hold up to bumps and scuffs in environments as rugged as foundries. They’re often used to remove flash, which is the metal that seeps out of die cast molds. Their high air consumption makes the steel cold, but a rubber housing protects your hands and also reduces vibration. These sanders move in a fixed rotary motion, so they remove more material from your work surface than random orbital sanders. However, this means they can leave swirl marks on the surface. Use with Style B quick-change discs (not included).

For quick jobs where you don’t have access to a power source, these sanders are battery-powered. They’re more aggressive than orbital disc sanders—they use rotary motion to remove material faster. The rotary motion may leave swirl marks on your work surface. All require quick-change sanding discs or hook and loop sanding discs. You can also use them with quick-change polishing pads to polish your surface.

These sanders have a brushless motor that reduces friction to optimize battery life. They’re durable; they run cool and have few moving parts that require maintenance. An LED light illuminates your work surface and reduces shadows for easy viewing. Adjust the side handle to keep your grip steady in multiple positions.

Use them with an Ingersoll Rand 20V DC battery and charger you already have or choose the sander that has batteries and a charger included.

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.

Keep the surface of your workpiece damp during sanding. These blocks have a sponge in the center that soaks up water or lubricant, then slowly releases it as you sand. This makes the surface of your sanding disc (sold separately) slippery, which helps prevent scratches. It also washes away dust and debris, removing clogs and extending the life of the abrasive. Made of firm foam, these blocks distribute pressure evenly across the surface of the sanding disc. They’re often used for surface preparation or finishing delicate materials.

Secure the shank into the collet or chuck of your tool and attach the quick-change fastener on the back of compatible sanding discs to the pad.

Pads with soft density conform to contoured surfaces and are good for polishing and finishing. Pads with medium density provide enough support for heavy material removal but are flexible enough for contouring and shaping. Pads with hard density hold their shape as you apply pressure and are the best option for aggressive material removal.

The flexible edge of the sanding disc overhangs these backup pads. Secure the shank into the collet or chuck of your tool, then attach the quick-change fastener on the sanding disc to the corresponding fastener on the backup pad.
