GEM Industries will present its orbital sander at IWF 2018, featuring an 11†drive pad which reduces labor by at least 50 percent over traditional 5†or 6†rotary tools, according to the company.
“As opposed to high speed rotary sanders, the 100 percent orbital action of the GEM sander eliminates the possibility of swirl marks, leaving a totally consistent and uniform finish,†the company said in a statement. “The weight of the machine (18 lbs.) does all the work. There is no need to apply pressure. Simply guide the machine across the surface like polishing a car.â€
The GEM Orbital Sander comes with, or without a shroud attachment for dust collection, and is available in 220-volt.
“Eleven-inch 3M abrasives are available in our inventory,†the company said. “This is the ideal tool for sanding large flat surfaces for both the woodworking, concrete and solid surface industries.
