When sanding tough materials on the jobsite, professionals like carpenters, remodelers, and contractors need tools that offer power, control, and comfort. The new Milwaukee M18 FUEL 5″ Random Orbital Sander (2837-20) is designed to meet these demands, providing a powerful cordless solution with industry-leading features that increase productivity without sacrificing comfort. Here’s why this sander stands out in its class.
Announced at this year’s Milwaukee Pipeline event, the M18 FUEL 5” Random Orbital Sander generates the power needed for heavy stock removal, making it ideal for working on the toughest materials. With a top speed of 12,000 orbits per minute (OPM), the tool removes material faster than many other sanders in its category. This makes it an excellent choice for demanding tasks, such as stripping paint or sanding rough wood, while still achieving a smooth finish.
Sanding can be a tedious job, and high vibration levels can quickly lead to fatigue. Milwaukee addresses this with the M18 FUEL sander’s industry-leading low vibration level. With a vibration rate at 12K OPM, the tool is designed to provide greater user comfort during extended periods of operation. This ergonomic design, combined with its compact form factor, ensures you can work longer with less strain.
The sander features a variable speed control with five settings, ranging from 4,000 to 12,000 OPM. This allows you to match the tool’s speed to the specific requirements of each task. Whether you’re sanding a rough surface or achieving a fine, stain-grade finish, the 3/32″ orbit diameter ensures a clean and consistent result every time. This versatility makes it suitable for a variety of materials, including hardwood, softwood, metal, and even painted surfaces.
Effective dust management is crucial for maintaining a clean workspace and achieving a high-quality finish. The M18 FUEL sander is designed to capture up to 95% of the dust generated, keeping your work area cleaner and safer. When paired with the M18 FUEL PACKOUT 9 Gallon Dual-Battery Dust Extractor (0920-20), dust collection efficiency is further enhanced through VACLINK Bluetooth technology. This system ensures instant dust control, automatically activating the extractor when the sander is in use.
