Hutchins 3-2/3 X 7 PSA/Clip Water Sander (7004)

The Hutchins 3-2/3″ X 7″ PSA/Clip Water Sander (7004) is a high-performance orbital pneumatic tool engineered for superior wet sanding and surface preparation. Designed for precision and efficiency, this sander is an essential asset for professionals in marine, automotive, and industrial settings. Its distinctive “thru-the-pad” water feed system ensures a consistent fluid film, allowing the sanding pad to glide smoothly over surfaces. This innovative feature promotes uniform grit penetration, leading to exceptionally smooth finishes and enhanced material removal. The sander is equipped with a robust, air-efficient motor and a sealed 4-bearing shaft, which together ensure full-pad contact and consistent productivity. Its ability to connect directly to a standard garden hose via an included high-pressure water hose provides a constant and adjustable water flow, critical for optimal wet sanding. The Hutchins 7004 is built to last, providing reliable performance for both fine finishing and heavy-duty sanding tasks, making it a versatile and valuable addition to any workshop.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Integrated Thru-the-Pad Water Feed: Delivers water directly through the sanding pad, creating a fluid film that optimizes grit penetration and ensures a consistently smooth surface, reducing friction and heat buildup.High-Performance Air Motor: Features an air-efficient motor with a sealed 4-bearing shaft, providing stable operation, full-pad contact, and maximum sanding productivity.Constant Water Flow System: Includes a 20-foot high-pressure water hose for adjustable and continuous water supply, allowing connection to a standard garden hose for uninterrupted wet sanding.Versatile PSA/Clip Pad: Accommodates both Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) and clip-on sandpaper, offering flexibility in abrasive choices for various applications.Broad Application Suitability: Ideal for a wide range of tasks including ultra-surfacing, fine finishing, and heavy-duty material removal in marine, automotive, and industrial environments.SPECIFICATIONS:Pad Size: 3-2/3″ x 7″Paper Size: Uses 3-2/3″ x 9″ paperRPM: 8500+Offset: 3/32″Weight: 3 lbs. 14 oz.Air Consumption: 10.2 cfm @ 90 PSINoise Level: 76 dBaPad Type: PSA/ClipIncluded in Product: The Hutchins 7004 Water Sander, a 20-foot high-pressure water hose.HOW TO USE:Prepare the Sander: Ensure the sander is clean and the PSA or clip-on sandpaper is securely attached to the pad. For PSA paper, peel off the backing and carefully align it before pressing firmly. For clip-on paper, lift the clips, insert the paper, and secure the clips.Connect Water Supply: Attach the provided 20-foot high-pressure water hose to the sander’s water inlet. Connect the other end of the hose to a standard garden hose or suitable water source.Connect Air Supply: Attach your air supply line to the sander’s air inlet. Ensure your air compressor is set to the recommended operating pressure of 90 PSI.Adjust Water Flow: Turn on the water supply and adjust the flow rate to a consistent stream. The “thru-the-pad” system will begin to create a fluid film on the sanding surface.Begin Sanding: With both air and water connected and flowing, place the sanding pad flat against the surface to be sanded. Activate the sander and move it in a consistent, overlapping pattern, allowing the water to lubricate the surface and aid in material removal.Monitor and Replenish: Periodically check the sandpaper for wear and replace as needed. Ensure continuous water flow throughout the sanding process.Clean Up: Once sanding is complete, turn off the air and water supplies. Disconnect the hoses and clean any residue from the sander and the work area.BENEFITS OF USING HUTCHINS 3-2/3″ X 7″ PSA/CLIP WATER SANDER (7004):Enhanced surface quality: the unique water feed system prevents dry sanding friction, leading to a much smoother, more uniform finish with reduced swirl marks.Extended abrasive life: water lubrication helps to keep sandpaper clear of sanding debris and prevents heat buildup, significantly extending the life of your abrasives.Reduced dust generation: wet sanding virtually eliminates airborne dust, creating a cleaner and healthier working environment compared to dry sanding.Efficient material removal: the constant water flow aids in effective grit penetration, allowing for faster and more efficient removal of old coatings, rust, or imperfections.Consistent performance: built with a reliable motor and robust construction, the sander delivers consistent performance even during demanding, prolonged use.FEATURES:Orbital action: for consistent sanding patterns.Pneumatic power: for efficient operation.Designed for wet sanding: applications.Lightweight construction: for reduced user fatigue.Includes a water hose: for direct connection.Low vibration: for comfortable handling.Produces a moderate noise level: during operation.
