Hutchins 6″ Hook Pad 3/16″ VA Random Orbit Action Super Sander (4960H)

Description

The Hutchins 6″ Hook Pad 3/16″ VA Random Orbit Action Super Sander (4960H) is a high-performance pneumatic sanding tool engineered for professionals seeking efficient material removal and superior surface finishes. This robust random orbital sander is an enhanced, more aggressive version of the well-regarded Hutchins 4950, designed to tackle demanding tasks with precision and reliability. Its vacuum-assist (VA) capability ensures a cleaner working environment by effectively managing dust, leading to both a better finish and improved air quality. With a 6-inch hook-face pad, the 4960H readily accepts hook-and-loop sanding discs, making disc changes quick and straightforward. Proudly American-made, this tool embodies Hutchins’ commitment to quality and craftsmanship, making it an indispensable asset in automotive, woodworking, metalworking, and general industrial applications where high-quality surface preparation is paramount. The lightweight and ergonomic design minimizes operator fatigue, allowing for extended periods of use without compromising performance.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Random Orbit Action: Provides a non-repeating sanding pattern that significantly reduces swirl marks and achieves a smooth, consistent finish.
• Vacuum Assist (VA) Capability: Connects to a vacuum system for effective dust extraction, leading to a much cleaner workspace.
• Aggressive Material Removal: Engineered as a more aggressive version of the Model 4950, efficiently removes material.
• Air-Efficient Motor: Optimizes air consumption while delivering consistent power for operational efficiency.
• Positive-Action Drive: Features four-support bearings for full contact sanding, eliminating pad wobble.
• Lightweight and Ergonomic Design: Reduces operator fatigue, making it suitable for extended use.
• Hook Pad System: The 6-inch pad allows for quick and easy attachment and removal of sanding discs.

HOW TO USE:

• Attach Sanding Disc: Ensure the sander is disconnected from the air supply. Align and firmly press a compatible 6-inch hook-and-loop sanding disc onto the hook-face pad.
• Connect Air Supply: Attach the sander’s air inlet to your compressed air line, ensuring proper pressure (90 PSI recommended).
• Connect Vacuum (Optional but Recommended): If using the vacuum-assist feature, connect a 1-1/2 inch vacuum hose from your dust collection system to the sander’s vacuum port.
• Prepare Workpiece: Ensure your workpiece is clean and securely positioned.
• Start Sanding: With the sander flat on the surface, depress the throttle lever to activate the random orbital action. Move the sander in overlapping passes, maintaining consistent pressure and speed.
• Monitor Dust Collection: Regularly check the dust collection system for effectiveness, especially with the vacuum assist.
• Change Discs: When the sanding disc is worn or you need a different grit, release the throttle, disconnect from the air supply, and peel off the old disc before attaching a new one.
• Clean After Use: Disconnect the air supply and vacuum hose. Wipe down the sander to remove any residual dust or debris.
