08K4021 - PROS 6"/5mm Pneumatic Sander & Dust Extractor Kit PC
Option:
Choose an option to view item availability.
These kits combine a PROS pneumatic sander and a rolling dust collector.
With its 6" diameter platen and aggressive 5mm random-orbital pattern, the sander lets you work quickly over large areas while yielding consistent surface finishes in a range of applications.
The sander has a rear port for connection to the Mirka 1230 HEPA PC or the Mirka 1230 HEPA AFC (Automatic Filter Cleaning) dust collector, and a pattern of holes in the platen distributes suction across the entire sanding disc. By extracting dust right at the source, it reduces clean-up time, helps avoid health risks associated with airborne dust, and eliminates stray abrasive particles to ensure better surface finishes and longer abrasive life.
The PC model has a Push and Clean cleaning system, whereas the AFC has an automatic self-cleaning cycle – a particular advantage when using an aggressive sander for heavy stock removal, as it lets you keep working for longer periods without having to clear loaded vacuum filters manually.
Each kit includes an accessory control box that allows the pneumatic sander to work with the dust extractor’s AutoStart mode, which activates the vacuum only while the tool is running and turns it off a few seconds after the sander stops to ensure the hose is cleared. You can also run the dust extractor independently by switching it to manual mode.
Each kit also comes with a dual hose assembly that encloses the pneumatic air-supply line within the vacuum hose for most of its length, keeping them tangle-free and easy to manage. Its 18' length gives you ample range to move around as you work.

Yes, switching the control box to manual mode lets you run the dust extractor independently of the sander.
The PC model clears its filter with a manual Push and Clean action, while the AFC clears automatically, which helps during heavy stock removal since you're not stopping to clean the filter by hand.
An included 18' dual hose assembly encloses the air-supply line inside the vacuum hose for most of its length, so the two move as one.
The Mirka PROS 6"/5mm Pneumatic Sander & Dust Extractor Kit is built for rapid work over large, flat surfaces, thanks to its 6" platen and aggressive 5mm orbit.
