Discount Lee Valley Mirka PROS 6″ Pneumatic Sander With Self-Generating Vacuum, 5mm Orbit

With an onboard dust-collection system that lets you work independently of a separate vacuum, this ergonomically designed sander is effectively dust-free in use. Its 6″ diameter platen and aggressive 5mm random-orbital pattern permit rapid sanding of large surfaces while yielding consistent surface finishes.

As with the other Mirka sanders we offer, its platen has a pattern of holes used to draw dust from across the entire sanding disc. Air passing through the pneumatic motor produces a Venturi effect, generating a powerful suction to pull dust away from the surface while you work, expelling it through a 70″ hose into a collection bag. Made of durable polyester fleece, the 8 1/2″ × 12 1/2″ bag keeps dust safely contained with no need for a protective outer bag.

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

Only 4″ tall and weighing 0.93kg (just under 2 lb 1 oz), the sander is powerful yet easy to handle. 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. The sander connects to standard 3/8″ diameter air hoses, requiring 17 cfm of air at pressure up 90 psi. It has a noise rating of 78 dB, and low vibration output (3m/s²).

A practical, efficient tool, backed by a 2-year warranty.
