Hutchins 3-2/3 x 7 PSA 10-Hole 3/16 Offset Orbital Sander (8664)

The Hutchins 3-2/3″ x 7″ PSA 10-Hole 3/16″ Offset Orbital Sander (8664) is a professional-grade pneumatic sander engineered for rigorous material removal and achieving exceptionally flat surfaces. This tool is a staple for professionals in automotive, marine, and industrial environments, where precision and efficiency are paramount. Its unique design and robust construction ensure consistent performance and a superior finish on various materials.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Aggressive Material Removal: The significant 3/16″ fixed orbit offset ensures that the sander removes material quickly and effectively, making it ideal for stripping old finishes, leveling surfaces, or preparing for new coatings.Superior Flatness: Designed to produce remarkably flat surfaces, this sander minimizes irregularities and creates a perfect base for subsequent finishing steps, critical for high-quality results.Efficient Dust Management: Equipped with a 10-hole pad and a self-generating vacuum system with a detachable dust bag, the sander effectively collects debris, maintaining a cleaner workspace and improving abrasive life.High-Performance Air Motor: The powerful air motor delivers consistent torque, allowing the sander to maintain speed under load for uninterrupted and productive operation.Versatile PSA Pad System: The PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) pad system simplifies abrasive changes, allowing for quick transitions between grits and ensuring secure attachment of sanding sheets.SPECIFICATIONS:Pad Size: 3-2/3″ x 7″Hole Pattern: 10-HoleOffset: 3/16″RPM: 8500+Weight: 4 lbs. 12 oz.Air Consumption: 10.4 CFM @ 90 PSINoise Level: 85 dBaVacuum Port Outer Diameter: 1-1/2 inchesIncluded: Dust BagHOW TO USE:Prepare the Sander: Attach the appropriate 3-2/3″ x 7″ PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) sanding sheet to the sander’s pad, ensuring it is centered and firmly adhered.Connect Air Supply: Connect the sander to a clean, dry air compressor capable of delivering the required CFM and PSI (10.4 CFM at 90 PSI). Ensure the air hose is free of kinks and has an in-line air filter/lubricator if recommended by the manufacturer.Attach Dust Collection (Optional): If using the self-generating vacuum, ensure the dust bag is securely attached to the exhaust port. For external vacuum systems, connect a 1-1/2 inch vacuum hose to the vacuum port.Start Sanding: Hold the sander firmly with both hands. Place the pad flat against the workpiece surface before engaging the trigger.Maintain Even Pressure: Apply light, even pressure, allowing the sander’s weight and orbital action to do the work. Move the sander in overlapping passes across the surface to ensure uniform material removal.Monitor Dust Collection: Periodically check and empty the dust bag or vacuum system to maintain optimal dust collection efficiency.Finish and Disconnect: Once sanding is complete, release the trigger and lift the sander from the workpiece. Disconnect the air supply and store the tool in a clean, dry place.BENEFITS OF USING HUTCHINS 3-2/3″ X 7″ PSA 10-HOLE 3/16″ OFFSET ORBITAL SANDER (8664):Increased Productivity: The aggressive 3/16″ offset and powerful motor facilitate faster material removal, significantly reducing the time spent on sanding tasks.Consistent Finish Quality: Designed for achieving super-flat surfaces, this sander helps minimize rework and ensures a higher quality finish, crucial for painting and coating applications.Improved Work Environment: The integrated dust collection system helps to keep airborne dust to a minimum, leading to a cleaner workspace and better air quality for the operator.Reduced Abrasive Consumption: Effective dust removal from the sanding surface prevents premature clogging of abrasives, extending their lifespan and reducing consumable costs.Comfortable Operation: Despite its power, the sander is designed for user comfort, reducing fatigue during extended periods of use.FEATURES:Fixed orbital action: Utilizes a 3/16″ offset for efficient and aggressive sanding performance.Built-in vacuum assist system: Captures dust through a 10-hole pad and routes it to a detachable dust bag.Quick-change PSA pad: Allows easy installation and removal of sanding sheets with secure adhesion.High-speed motor: Maintains performance at over 8500 RPM for continuous, high-volume work.Ergonomic handling: Lightweight design (4 lbs. 12 oz.) improves maneuverability and control during long sanding sessions.External vacuum compatible: Supports connection to 1-1/2 inch dust extraction systems for enhanced collection.Durable pneumatic design: Engineered for reliability under industrial demands.
