Milwaukee M18™ Orbital 1/4 Sheet Sander (2649-20)
Corded Power. Cordless Freedom. Professional Grade Finishing with 95% Dust Collection.
The Milwaukee M18™ Orbital 1/4 Sheet Sander delivers the power and performance of a corded sander while providing the total mobility of the M18™ system. Engineered for the professional woodworker and finish carpenter, this sander features a variable speed motor that delivers between 11,000 and 15,000 OPM, allowing you to remove material quickly or achieve a glass-smooth finish on delicate veneers.
Designed to be cost-effective and versatile, the 2649-20 utilizes universal sandpaper clamps, allowing you to use any standard 1/4 sheet sandpaper. With a best-in-class dust management system that captures up to 95% of debris, you can spend more time sanding and less time cleaning up the shop.
Key Features & Professional Benefits:
- Variable Speed Control: Dial in the perfect speed (11k–15k OPM) for your specific material, ensuring you don't burn the wood or leave swirl marks.
- Universal Sandpaper Clamps: Save money by using standard sandpaper sheets. The heavy-duty clamps ensure the paper stays tight and flat throughout the job.
- 95% Dust Collection: The high-efficiency dust bag and internal fan capture nearly all dust at the source. Includes a universal vacuum adapter for a completely dust-free environment.
- Low-Vibration Engineering: Optimized for user comfort, reducing hand fatigue during long-duration sanding on tables, cabinets, and doors.
- Paper Punch Included: Easily create dust-extraction holes in standard sandpaper sheets to ensure your vacuum system works at peak efficiency.
- Dust-Protected Switch: A sealed on/off switch prevents dust ingress, a common cause of failure in traditional shop sanders.
- Ergonomic Pommel Grip: Provides maximum control and comfort whether you are sanding flat surfaces or vertical edges.
