Hutchins 4-1/2 x 9 Pad Water Hose (7005)

The Hutchins 4-1/2″ x 9″ Pad Water Hose (7005) is a specialized, air-powered tool engineered for precise and controlled wet sanding. This robust sander integrates water directly into the sanding process through an innovative “thru-the-pad” delivery system, which creates a fluid film beneath the pad. This unique method ensures uniform grit penetration across the entire surface, leading to consistently smooth and refined finishes. Designed for professional use, particularly in marine, automotive, and woodworking applications, the Hutchins 7005 excels at tasks requiring meticulous surface preparation and an ultra-smooth finish. Its high-performance, air-efficient motor and sealed 4-bearing shaft work together to maintain full-pad contact and maximize productivity, making it an indispensable tool for demanding sanding projects.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Integrated Water Delivery System: The unique thru-the-pad water feed with a venturi valve allows water to flow directly through the sanding pad, creating a protective fluid film. This design ensures consistent lubrication and cooling, preventing swirl marks and loading, which results in a smoother, more uniform finish.Optimal Pad Contact: A sealed 4-bearing shaft combined with the sander’s design ensures full and even contact across the entire 4-1/2″ x 9″ pad. This maximizes the sanding area’s effectiveness, promoting efficient material removal and an even surface.High-Performance Air Motor: Equipped with a high-performance, air-efficient motor, the Hutchins 7005 delivers consistent power and maintains high RPMs. This contributes to superior sanding capabilities while optimizing air consumption, making it efficient for prolonged use in professional settings.Reduced Dust and Heat: The wet sanding process significantly reduces airborne dust particles, leading to a cleaner and safer working environment. Additionally, water acts as a coolant, dissipating heat generated during sanding, which extends abrasive life and prevents heat-related damage to sensitive surfaces.Versatile Application: Ideal for ultra-surfacing, heavy-duty sanding, and fine finishing tasks across various materials. It’s particularly effective in marine applications for boat hull preparation, automotive bodywork, and woodworking where a flawless, smooth surface is essential.SPECIFICATIONS:Pad Size: 4-1/2″ x 9″RPM: 8500+Offset: 3/32″Weight: 3 lbs. 14 oz.Air Consumption: 10.2 cfm @ 90 PSINoise Level: 76 dBaManufacturer Part Number (MPN): 7005UPC: 660614009310Included in Purchase: Hutchins 7005 Orbital Water Sander, 4-1/2″ x 9″ Pad, 20-foot High-Pressure Water HoseHOW TO USE:Prepare the Sander: Attach the 4-1/2″ x 9″ sanding pad to the sander. Ensure the pad is securely fastened and ready to receive abrasives.Connect Air Supply: Connect your shop’s compressed air line to the sander’s air inlet. Ensure the air pressure is set to 90 PSI for optimal performance.Connect Water Supply: Attach the included 20-foot high-pressure water hose to the sander’s water inlet. Connect the other end to a clean water source such as a spigot or controlled line.Install Abrasive: Apply your desired wet sanding abrasive paper to the 4-1/2″ x 9″ pad. Many wet sanding papers have a hook-and-loop backing for easy attachment.Adjust Water Flow: Gently open the water source valve to allow water to flow into the sander. Use the venturi valve to regulate flow through the pad for consistent lubrication during operation.Begin Sanding: Hold the sander firmly and place it flat on the surface. Activate the air motor and move in overlapping passes, maintaining even pressure as the water lubricates the sanding zone.Clean Up: After sanding, turn off the air and water supply. Remove the abrasive, clean the tool, and store in a dry, secure area.BENEFITS OF USING HUTCHINS 4-1/2″ X 9″ PAD WATER HOSE (7005):Provides an exceptionally smooth and consistent finish: due to uniform grit penetration.Reduces airborne dust: creating a healthier and safer work environment.Extends the life of sanding abrasives: by keeping them cool and preventing loading.Minimizes the risk of swirl marks and heat damage: on sensitive surfaces.Offers precise control: for intricate and detailed sanding applications.Enhances surface preparation: leading to better adhesion for coatings and paints.Increases productivity: with its efficient motor and full-pad contact design.FEATURES:Through-pad water delivery system: creates a consistent fluid film for optimal sanding results.Regulated venturi valve: provides user-controlled water flow adjustment.Sealed 4-bearing shaft: ensures balanced pad contact and long-term reliability.High-efficiency motor: delivers consistent power with optimized air usage.Compact ergonomic build: designed for operator comfort and reduced fatigue.Integrated high-pressure hose connection: allows stable water supply without leaks.Low-noise operation: functions at 76 dBa for reduced noise exposure.Lightweight design: at 3 lbs. 14 oz. for enhanced maneuverability and ease of use.
