The Newest Member of the Milwaukee M18 Family
Milwaukee Tool was excited to let us in on some added info about their latest M18 product: the M18 Random Orbit Sander! This tool has some fantastic features, so let us not waste any time.
Ditch the Cord & Keep the Power
This tool can deliver true corded power by reaching a maximum of 12,000 Orbits Per Minute (OPM). That means you no longer must drape an extension cord over all your work while on the other side of the shop from the outlet.
This power also comes without sacrificing control over your sander, with many features that users expect from their corded models. Sanding speed can be adjusted for maximum control and a smooth finish, with variable control between 7,000-12,000 OPM. The orbit stays nice and tight at 3/32”, leaving fewer marks on your workpiece. The power and speed of the M18 Random Orbit Sander still means more material removed in less time, letting you get to the next part of your project sooner and with more energy left. The M18 Random Orbit Sander has a height of only 6”, meaning you have plenty of space to grip it. It weighs 4.3 pounds and has a 3.0Ah battery attached.
It uses a standard 5” hook and loop abrasive paper for efficient pad changes when you need a different level of grit. Do not worry about all the dust you will be making either: the M18 Random Orbit Sander has a durable dust containment system, and the integrated filter brings its A-game for efficient dust filtration. If you still need even more dust-collecting power than this tool, it also features a universal hose adaptor that connects to the most commonly available vacuum sizes.
What about my other power tools?
The M18 Random Orbit Sander uses the Milwaukee M18 battery line, meaning you can get through your entire day of work with only a single battery system for all your tools. Milwaukee is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven tools, and they now offer more than 150 power tools in the M18 lineup.
What will I be getting with it?
Milwaukee will have this as a kit (2648-21) or a bare tool (2648-20). The kit includes the M18 Random Orbit Sander, (2) sheets of eighty grit sandpaper, a Universal Hose Adapter, (1) an M18 REDLITHIUM 3.0ah Battery, an M18/M12 Multi-Voltage Charger, and a Contractor Bag to carry everything. It will be available in April 2018, so watch AcmeTools.com for your chance to pre-order one.
