Milwaukee M12 FUEL Orbital Detail Sander 2531-20 + FREE M12 CP2.5 Battery 48-11-2425
Model Number: MIL253120
STAIN-GRADE PRECISION FOR INTRICATE TRIM AND TIGHT CORNERS
Transitioning from hand sanding to a powered solution often risks over-sanding or losing the crispness of a profile, but the M12 FUEL™ Orbital Detail Sander is engineered specifically for those high-stakes finishing moments. With a tight 1.5mm orbit diameter, this tool delivers a clean, consistent surface finish that is ready for stain without the swirl marks typical of larger, more aggressive sanders. Whether you are working into the depths of a shaker cabinet door or cleaning up scribed lines on custom built-ins, the delta-shaped pad and lightweight 1.3lb frame provide the maneuverability needed to maintain edge sharpness while removing material up to 2X faster than manual blocks. The variable speed trigger and four-mode OPM settings allow you to dial back the aggression when working with softwoods or delicate veneers, ensuring you never sand through your workpiece.
- / POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor provides the sustained power to remove material quickly without stalling, even under heavy load in hardwoods.
- / 4-Mode Speed Control (4,000 - 14,000 OPM) offers ultimate control, allowing for a delicate touch on fine finish work or high-speed stock removal.
- / Innovative counterweight mechanism minimizes vibration, reducing user fatigue and ensuring a smoother, more accurate finish on long sanding sessions.
- / Included sponge pad conforms to complex trim and crown molding profiles, preventing flat spots and maintaining the integrity of the original wood shape.
- / Integrated LED light illuminates the work surface, making it easier to spot cross-grain scratches or uneven spots before the finish is applied.
