The HERCULES® 2.4 Amp Orbital 1/4 Sheet Sander with Soft Start features a precision engineered direct drive motor capable of sanding 15,000 OPM (orbits per minute). Built with a counterbalance system and ergonomic grip this sander offers superior vibration dampening and increased control. An integrated dust collection system with dust bag keeps the work surface clean, while a sealed on/off switch maximizes tool life by preventing containments from entering the tool. A strengthened sanding pad with durable metal clamps promise secure paper retention during heavy duty applications. The 1/16 in. orbit action and electronic soft start achieve a swirl free and smooth finish each and every time, no matter the application.
