This American-made sander is a preferred choice in professional settings, particularly within automotive paint shops, where precision and a clean working environment are paramount. Designed for sustained use, the 4950H integrates advanced features to deliver efficient material removal while leaving a consistently smooth, swirl-free surface. Its thoughtful design prioritizes user comfort and operational efficiency, making it an essential tool for detailed preparation and finishing tasks. The vacuum-assist feature significantly reduces airborne dust, contributing to a healthier workspace and a clearer view of the sanding process, which in turn enhances the quality of the finished product. This sander represents a blend of robust construction and precise engineering, built to meet the rigorous demands of professional use.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Integrated Vacuum-Assist System: Designed for connection to an external vacuum source, this system efficiently extracts dust and debris directly through the sanding pad. This significantly reduces airborne particles, leading to a cleaner work area, improved visibility of the sanding surface, and ultimately, a healthier environment for the user.3/32″ Offset Random Orbital Action: The specific 3/32″ offset combined with random orbital motion ensures that no repeating pattern is created on the work surface. This precise action is crucial for producing exceptionally smooth finishes with minimal to no visible swirl marks, essential for high-quality surface preparation.6″ Hook and Loop Pad Compatibility: Equipped with a standard 6-inch hook and loop (Hookit) pad, the sander allows for quick, effortless, and secure attachment and removal of abrasive discs. This design maximizes efficiency by minimizing downtime during disc changes.American Manufacturing Quality: As a product manufactured in the USA, the Hutchins 4950H reflects a commitment to high standards of construction, reliability, and precision engineering, ensuring a long service life and consistent performance.Ergonomic and Lightweight Design: The sander features a low profile and incorporates a rubber flex-cover, contributing to operator comfort and reduced fatigue during extended use. Its balanced weight distribution enhances control and maneuverability.SPECIFICATIONS:RPM: 10,000+Weight: 3 lbs. 11 oz.Air Consumption: 9.8 CFM @ 90 PSINoise Level: 86 dBaManufacturer Part Number: 4950HIncluded in Product: One Hutchins 6″ Hook Pad Vacuum Assist 3/32″ Offset Orbital Sander (4950H)HOW TO USE:Prepare the Sander: Ensure your air compressor is set to 90 PSI and connected to the sander via an appropriate air hose. Connect the sander’s vacuum port to a suitable external dust extraction system or shop vacuum.Attach Sanding Disc: Select the desired 6-inch hook and loop abrasive disc. Align the holes on the sanding disc with the holes on the sander’s pad, then firmly press the disc onto the pad until it is securely attached.Secure Workpiece: Ensure your workpiece is clean and securely fastened to prevent movement during sanding.Start Sanding: Hold the sander firmly with both hands, maintaining a flat and even contact with the surface. Depress the trigger to start the sander.Sanding Technique: Move the sander in slow, overlapping passes over the surface. Avoid applying excessive pressure, as the weight of the sander itself is usually sufficient for effective material removal.Monitor Dust Collection: Regularly check the dust collection system to ensure it is functioning effectively and that the dust bag or canister is not full.Finish Sanding: Once the desired finish is achieved, release the trigger to stop the sander. Carefully lift the sander from the workpiece.Maintenance: Disconnect the air and vacuum lines. Remove the sanding disc. Periodically clean the vacuum cavity and inspect the pad for wear. Refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for detailed maintenance.BENEFITS OF USING HUTCHINS 6″ HOOK PAD VACUUM ASSIST 3/32″ OFFSET ORBITAL SANDER (4950H):Provides consistently smooth, blemish-free surfaces: suitable for painting or other finishing processes.Significantly reduces airborne dust: creating a cleaner and safer work environment.Minimizes swirl marks: leading to less rework and higher quality outcomes.Offers comfortable operation: reducing user fatigue during extended periods of use.Delivers reliable performance: and a long operational lifespan due to robust construction.Enhances efficiency: through quick abrasive disc changes and effective material removal.Suitable for a wide range of materials: and applications where fine finishing is required.FEATURES:Air-powered mechanism: provides constant power and efficient sanding performance.Balanced motor assembly: designed to deliver vibration-free, smooth operation.Oversized drive-head: ensures full pad engagement with the surface for even sanding results.Four-bearing support system: adds durability and maintains balance during extended use.Auxiliary handle compatible: designed to work with or without an additional handle for user preference.Low-profile body: enhances maneuverability and control in tight or contoured spaces.Heavy-duty construction: supports long-term use in industrial and professional environments.
