Hutchins 6 PSA 6-Hole 3/32 Offset Super Sander (4950)

The Hutchins 6″ PSA 6-Hole 3/32″ Offset Super Sander (4950) is a specialized pneumatic random orbital sander engineered to deliver exceptional results in automotive body and paint finishing. Designed for professionals and enthusiasts who demand precision and a flawless surface, this air-powered tool is particularly effective for both pre-paint preparation and post-paint finishing applications where a very fine, swirl-free result is paramount. Its carefully calibrated 3/32″ offset orbit ensures controlled material removal and a remarkably smooth finish, significantly reducing the appearance of sanding marks and promoting optimal paint adhesion. The 6-inch PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) pad system allows for quick and secure attachment of 6-hole sanding discs, ensuring efficient dust extraction. This model also incorporates a vacuum assist feature, which actively removes sanding dust through the pad holes, leading to a cleaner working environment and a superior finish.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Fine Finish Capability: The 3/32″ offset orbit is specifically designed for ultra-fine finishing, ideal for critical paint preparation and achieving a show-quality surface. This smaller orbit minimizes swirl marks and provides precise control over material removal.Efficient Dust Collection: Equipped with a through-the-pad 6-hole vacuum assist system, the sander effectively collects dust, resulting in a cleaner work area, improved visibility of the sanding surface, and a better overall finish by preventing dust re-settlement.Consistent Performance: The powerful, purpose-built motor combined with a robust 4-bearing system ensures consistent power delivery and dynamic balance, leading to smooth, vibration-free operation and extended tool life.User Comfort and Control: A low-profile design and a comfortable rubber flex-cover provide enhanced operator control and reduced fatigue during prolonged use, allowing for greater precision in demanding tasks.Versatile Sanding Options: The 6-inch PSA pad allows for quick changes of adhesive-backed sanding discs, offering flexibility for various grits and applications, from light scuffing to final finishing.SPECIFICATIONS:Tool Type: Random Orbital Air SanderModel Number: 4950Pad Diameter: 6 inchesPad Type: PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive), 6-holeOffset/Orbit Diameter: 3/32 inchesOperating Speed: 10,000+ RPMAir Consumption: 9.8 – 11.0 CFM at 90 PSIWeight: 3 lbs. 11 oz. (1.67 kg)Noise Level: 86 dBaIncludes: 5304-1 Vacuum Assist Adapter CollarHOW TO USE:Prepare the Air Supply: Connect the sander to a clean, regulated air supply capable of providing at least 90 PSI and the required CFM (9.8-11.0 CFM). Ensure an in-line air filter/lubricator is used to protect the tool.Attach Sanding Disc: Select the appropriate 6-inch 6-hole PSA sanding disc for your application. Peel off the backing paper from the sanding disc and carefully align the holes with the holes on the sander’s pad. Press firmly to ensure good adhesion across the entire pad surface.Connect Vacuum Hose (Optional but Recommended): If using a vacuum system, attach a suitable vacuum hose to the included 5304-1 Vacuum Assist Adapter Collar on the sander. Connect the other end of the hose to a dust extraction system or shop vacuum.Start Sanding: Hold the sander firmly with both hands, or one hand if using without a handle. Place the sander flat onto the surface to be sanded. Engage the trigger to start the tool.Maintain Even Pressure: Move the sander in overlapping circular or elliptical patterns across the surface. Apply light, even pressure. Allow the tool’s weight and orbital action to do the work. Avoid pressing down too hard, as this can reduce the effectiveness of the random orbital action and create swirl marks.Monitor Progress: Regularly check the surface for desired finish. For multi-stage sanding, change to progressively finer grits as needed.Clean Up: Once finished, release the trigger, disconnect the air supply, and carefully remove the sanding disc. Empty any collected dust from your vacuum system.BENEFITS OF USING HUTCHINS 6″ PSA 6-HOLE 3/32″ OFFSET SUPER SANDER (4950):Produces an exceptionally smooth, uniform surface ideal for high-quality paint application.Minimizes the effort and time required for post-sanding cleanup due to effective dust extraction.Extends the lifespan of sanding discs by preventing dust buildup on the abrasive surface.Reduces operator fatigue and discomfort during prolonged use.Contributes to a safer and healthier work environment by capturing airborne sanding particulates.FEATURES:Precision-machined motor components: For balanced operation.Integrated drive-head with an oversized design: For full-contact pad engagement.Four-bearing support system: For enhanced tool stability and longevity.Low-profile housing: For ergonomic grip and proximity to the work surface.Protective rubber flex-cover: To shield internal components and enhance grip.Accepts standard 6-inch Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) sanding discs: With 6 dust holes.Air-powered operation: For consistent high performance without battery limitations.Designed and manufactured in the United States: Indicating quality control.Lightweight construction: Aids in maneuverability and reduces arm strain.Capable of achieving extremely fine surface preparation: Suitable for automotive clear coats.
