Milwaukee® Delivers Innovation for the Paint and Body Technician

MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee Tool delivers innovation for paint and body technicians with the launch of the industry’s first cordless sanders, designed to optimize performance while supplementing pneumatic solutions in the shop. The M12 FUEL™ 6” Random Orbital Sander – 3/16” and M12 FUEL™ 6” Random Orbital Sander – 3/32” feature an ergonomic palm grip, a speed dial, and a variable-speed trigger, giving users ultimate control with speeds ranging from 3,200 to 12,000 RPM.   These sanders benefit productivity while enabling technicians to work efficiently in the shop, reducing downtime typically associated with pneumatic tools.
 
“The launch of the M12 FUEL™ 6” Random Orbital Sanders marks a new era of cordless solutions for professional paint and body technicians,” said Ryan Mack, Group Product Manager at Milwaukee Tool. “By introducing these first to world solutions, these sanders boost productivity and provide the freedom to work efficiently across various tasks in the shop. The tool-free backing pad change streamlines pad swaps, saving time and reducing wear on the tool. Developed through direct feedback from our users, this sander is designed to deliver the power, control, and precision that professionals demand. “

The M12 FUEL™ 6” Random Orbital Sander – 3/16” delivers the power to sand body filler confidently, offering enough runtime to sand up to three doors per charge with the M12™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ CP2.5 Battery Pack. Powered by a POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence, this sander maintains high RPMs under load for clean and efficient body filler removal with an aggressive 3/16” throw. 

Engineered for precision in sanding clear coats, the M12 FUEL™ 6” Random Orbital Sander – 3/32” provides users with enough runtime to sand up to five doors on a single charge with a M12™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ CP2.5 Battery Pack. Delivering ultimate control over curved body panels and feathering paint, this sander’s 3/32” throw provides a smooth, paint-ready finish. The combination of the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence delivers confidence to remove clear coats without halting pad rotation at lower RPMs. 

Featuring an innovative tool-free backing pad change system, both sanders eliminate the stress and potential damage during pad changes. This system further reduces downtime, streamlining workflow by allowing quick pad swaps without interrupting the task at hand. These sanders also include a vacuum port for debris removal, with both left and right ports included for adjustable ingress direction.

The new M12 FUEL™ 6” Random Orbital Sander – 3/16” and M12 FUEL™ 6” Random Orbital Sander – 3/32” join the M12™ Cordless System, the largest sub-compact system on the market, focused on delivering industry-leading durability and the power to complete applications in the tightest spaces.
