Product Design And Features

Dust collection

When it comes to collecting dust, this porter cable random orbital sander comes with a multiple port adapter. It is capable of accepting vacuum hoses that come with a wide array of diameters. You can also connect the adapter to a porter cable cordless vacuum cleaner to collect the debris. Moreover, this combination maintains the portability level so that you don’t have to worry about moving freely as you engage in your task. Dust collection ports allow you to connect to an external vacuum cleaner, canister, or dust bag to seal off the debris from getting tossed into the air.

The porter cable kit also comes with a dust collection bag that you can connect easily to the multi-port adapter. This dust collection bag helps in collecting dust effectively. As for this bag, it’s surrounded by a filter that looks similar to a canister. This helps in sealing the dust inside the bag. It keeps it from getting puffed out even when you stop the gadget commonly seen in other power gadgets with dust collection bags. This gadget is light in weight; however, when connected with a hose, it can be slightly more substantial, and you may have to hold it straight.

Vacuum Port

As for the vacuum port, it’s capable of attaching around 1 to 1/4-inch Hose to help with a huge volume of dust collection. This cordless sander comes with a 5-inch orbital sanding pad that has a diameter of 3/32” orbit. This helps in the efficient removal of even minute dust particles. Moreover, it contains a dustproof power switch that enhances the longevity of the switch.

Power

The 20 V battery that provides 12,000 OPM makes it unique and sets it apart from the rest of its counterparts—wondering why is it so? Well, only high-end and industrial sanding gadgets come with a higher voltage than lies above 18V. On average, you will find that most cordless random orbital sanders have only 18 V.

The lithium-ion battery comes with a backup, which depends on how you use the random orbital sanders. However, it will give you around 30 to 40 minutes of running time, which is quite efficient in getting your tasks done without interruption.

Though you can use the 18 V battery in this gadget, it is advisable to use the 4.0 Ah battery only if you are planning to extend the backup facility.
