Ask our Team The random-orbital sanding action of the OBS-18 and OBS-18DC removes the scratch patterns left by drum or rotary sanders, leaving a smooth flat floor ready for refinishing. At 3,600 orbits per minute, the OBS-18 sands faster than any other orbital sander available. With torque-less operation for enhanced operator comfort, the OBS-18 and OBS-18DC are perfect for interim “screen and recoat” and fine finish sanding jobs.

-The totally enclosed, fan cooled motor, eliminates overheating and the need for motor cleaning.
-Heavy duty cast aluminum main frame and pad driver plate for added strength.
-Independent dust pickup fan for effective dust containment (DC model only).
-Dust pipe allows for easy attachment of 1-1/2 or 2 inch vacuum hoses for improved dust containment.
-Bristle dust skirt to aid in dust containment (not shown).
-Transparent molded plug has an internal light that serves as a power indicator (not shown).
