Superior Surface Flatness: Engineered to deliver super-flat finishes, ensuring excellent preparation for subsequent coatings or treatments. Efficient Operation: The Hutchins Air-Efficient Motor provides powerful performance while consuming a modest 11.4 CFM of air at 90 PSI, optimizing workshop efficiency. Reduced Vibration & Fatigue: The dynamically balanced pad and 5-point suspension system work together to minimize vibration, enhancing user comfort and allowing for extended periods of use. Broad Coverage: The large 8″ x 18″ PSA pad offers 144 square inches of full-contact sanding area, speeding up work on large surfaces. Low Maintenance: Designed for durability and reliability, contributing to high productivity and reduced downtime.SPECIFICATIONS: Pad Size: 8″ x 18″ Pad Type: PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) Orbit Offset: 3/16″ Fixed RPM: 8500+ Weight: 5 lbs. 9 oz. Air Consumption: 11.4 cfm @ 90 PSI Noise Level: 84 dBa Pad Suspension: 5-point suspension system Included: The sander unitHOW TO USE: Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface to be sanded is clean and free of loose debris. Attach Abrasive: Peel the backing from an 8″ x 18″ PSA abrasive sheet and carefully adhere it to the sander’s pad, ensuring it is smooth and wrinkle-free. Connect Air Supply: Connect the sander to an air compressor with a regulated air pressure of 90 PSI. Grip Firmly: Hold the sander with both hands, maintaining a firm but comfortable grip. Start Sanding: Turn on the air supply to the sander. Gently place the pad flat against the work surface before initiating movement. Maintain Even Pressure: Move the sander in overlapping passes, applying even, consistent pressure across the entire pad. Avoid tilting the sander or pressing down excessively, as this can create uneven spots. Monitor Progress: Periodically lift the sander to inspect the surface and ensure desired material removal or finish is being achieved. Clean Up: After sanding, disconnect the air supply and carefully remove the used abrasive. Clean the sander and the work area of dust and debris.BENEFITS OF USING HUTCHINS 8″ X 18″ PSA PAD 3/16″ OFFSET ORBITAL ACTION SANDER (3805): Efficient for large areas: Covers substantial surface area quickly, improving overall productivity.
