Pneumatic orbital sanders 150 mm - two models

Stardust offers two models of professional quality pneumatic sanders (Class B Japan and Class C Taiwan), equipped with 150mm plates, with 5mm orbit.

These two high quality sanding machines are suitable for intensive use and their high power
and their high power allows a great efficiency, saving time and effectiveness.

They are durable tools, assembled with excellent quality parts and components.

Details of the offers

Both models are self-vacuuming and come with a hose and dust collection bag, as well as a 6-hole plate with Velcro backing.

Each pneumatic sander has a male pneumatic fitting, a speed control knob, and a variable pressure trigger.

Rotation speed : up to 12,000 rotations per minute

Difference between a budget price tool and a professional tool

Compared to the consumer model, the power level of these two pneumatic orbital sanders is very high :

an entry-level pneumatic sander (class D) has a reduced speed when too much pressure is applied with the hand

Specifications : Pneumatic sanders Quality B and C

Quality C is an entry-level quality for professionals with good performance levels at economical prices

The superior quality Class B includes high quality components, allowing a longer life and a sustained work rate.

The quality of a sander is defined by the quality of its components, metals and plastics used in its manufacture : this determines the quality and robustness of a tool.

For occasional use, we recommend the class C model, which is already more efficient than most of the sanders sold in the consumer range.

For professionals we recommend the Class B model.

Self-vacuuming of sanding residues

Some sanders require connection to a vacuum cleaner.

The ASGB650 and AS600 sanders are self-vacuuming, the movement of their impeller efficiently evacuates the sanding dust through the hose provided, to a bag that stores the dust.

What is orbital sanding ?

Both of our pneumatic sanders are orbital type, with a 5 mm orbit
What is the difference between concentric and orbital sanding ?

Concentric sanding forms a perfect circle around a fixed central point.

Orbital sanding forms a circle around a central point, which itself describes a rotation whose radius is expressed in millimeters. Orbital sanding is more diffuse and homogeneous, while concentric sanding creates marks and grooves more easily.

In body painting, orbital sanding should be used.

What is the difference between a sander and a polisher ?

First, the polisher does not need to have orbital rotation.
Also, a polisher needs to produce a much lower speed (4 to 5 X lower) than a sander.
