Milwaukee 2648-20 M18™ Random Orbit Sander
Cordless Freedom. Professional Finish.
The Milwaukee 2648-20 M18™ 5-Inch Random Orbit Sander delivers the power and performance of a corded sander without the restrictive cable. Delivering 7,000 to 12,000 OPM (Orbits Per Minute), this sander features a variable speed dial that allows you to match the speed to your specific application—from aggressive material removal to delicate stain-grade finishing. The 5-inch sanding pad utilizes a hook-and-loop system for fast paper changes and consistent grip throughout the life of the disc.
Designed with the professional woodworker and remodeler in mind, the 2648-20 features an integrated dust canister with a high-performance filter to keep your workspace clean. For even better dust extraction, the included universal vacuum hose adapter connects to all major vacuum brands and sizes, significantly reducing cleanup time. Part of the M18™ system, this sander can deliver up to 35 minutes of runtime on a single 3.0Ah battery charge.
Why the Milwaukee M18™ Random Orbit Sander is a Shop Essential:
- Variable Speed Dial: 7,000-12,000 OPM range gives you total control over the finish on hardwoods, softwoods, and composites.
- Electronic Soft Start: The motor ramps up slowly to prevent gouging the workpiece upon startup.
- Universal Vacuum Adapter: Includes a multi-size adapter to connect directly to your shop vac for near-total dust collection.
- Ergonomic Pommel Grip: The low-profile design and overmold grip provide superior comfort and control during extended sanding sessions.
- Fast Paper Changes: The 8-hole hook-and-loop pad allows for rapid disc swaps and provides efficient dust extraction through the pad.
