Clearance Lee Valley Mirka PROS 5″ Pneumatic Sander, 5mm Orbit

With an aggressive 5mm orbital pattern and relatively compact 5″ diameter platen, this sander is a versatile workhorse, capable of both rapid material removal and precise sanding tasks. It works quickly and efficiently, producing minimal dust, noise and vibration, with a lightweight, ergonomic design so it’s comfortable to use for long sessions.

Only 4″ tall and weighing 0.89kg (just under 2 lb), it connects to standard 3/8″ diameter air hoses, requiring 17 cfm of air at pressure up to 90 psi.

It has a rear port for connection to a 1″ diameter vacuum hose, and a pattern of holes in the platen that draws dust from across the entire sanding disc. It has a noise rating of 74 dB, a low vibration output (2.4m/s²) and a shielded outlet port that directs exhaust air away from the user.

The upper control paddle lets you adjust speed on the fly without interrupting your work – pressing the paddle increases the speed up to 12,000 rpm, a lighter squeeze slows the motor, and releasing it stops the tool within seconds.

Compatible with a range of Mirka discs, it lets you select from a full line of abrasive types and grits to match the application.

A well-made, well-designed tool that produces consistent surface finishes. Backed by a 2-year warranty.
