Mirka DEROS II 6" Random-Orbit Electric Sander, 5mm Orbit

This ergonomically designed random-orbit sander lets you work quickly and efficiently with minimal dust, noise and vibration. Its 6" diameter platen and aggressive 5mm random-orbital pattern permit rapid sanding of large surfaces while yielding consistent surface finishes in a range of applications.

Powered by a 14' grounded cord, its 350W brushless motor performs comparably to a 500W conventional motor, yet at only 4" tall and weighing just over 1 kg (2 lb 6 oz), the sander is easy to handle. It has a noise rating of 71 dB as well as low vibration output (3.4m/s²), and pairs with the myMirka app to monitor long-term vibration exposure.

Compatible with a range of Mirka discs, it lets you select from a full line of abrasive types and grits to match the application.

Effectively dust-free in use, it has a rear port for connection to a 1" diameter vacuum hose, and a pattern of holes in the platen that draws dust from across the entire sanding disc.

In fixed-speed mode, you can lock in any of seven settings within its 4000 to 10,000 rpm range, with the paddle serving as an on/off switch to stop the tool within seconds. In variable-speed mode, the upper control paddle lets you adjust speed on the fly within each of the seven rpm ranges without interrupting your work – pressing the paddle increases the rpm, and a lighter squeeze slows the motor.

A small sample of Mirka abrasive discs and a platen protector are included to get you started.

Powerful yet precise, this is a well-designed tool, backed by a 2-year warranty.

Also available with a Systainer case.
