Compatible with standard 1/4” BSP air inlet fittings, it integrates seamlessly into typical workshop air setups. This model runs on a working pressure of 6.5 bar (95 PSI) and requires a minimum 4HP (3kW) compressor, ensuring a consistent air supply during operation. With its reliable performance and lightweight construction, it’s well-suited for both beginners and hobbyists tackling a range of surface-finishing applications. \n \n• DIY Use \n• Sand Paper: 93 X 228mm \n• Free Speed: 8,000/Min \n• Bsp Air Inlet: 1/4”/ 6.35mm \n• Working Air Pressure: 6.5 Bar (95PSI) \n• Average Air Consumption @ 100% Duty Cycle: 396l/Min (14 CFM) \n• Min. Compressor Required: 4Hp/3kW \n \nEquipped with a 93 x 228mm sandpaper base, offering a generous sanding surface for efficient material removal: This size provides solid coverage on flat and broad surfaces, reducing the number of passes required for smooth finishes. The platform supports easy sandpaper attachment and replacement for quick workflow changes. Its rectangular design enhances corner access and edge work without sacrificing speed. Ideal for furniture refinishing, door preparation, and general sanding tasks. It delivers a balance between control and surface reach. \n \nDelivers a free speed of up to 8,000 revolutions per minute, enabling quick and uniform sanding performance: The consistent orbital motion reduces swirl marks and minimizes surface irregularities. This speed level is well-suited for smoothing softwoods, painted surfaces, and metal primer layers. Operators gain control without the tool becoming overly aggressive on delicate finishes. Its motion profile reduces the risk of over-sanding or damaging underlying materials. The result is a smooth, clean finish with minimal operator fatigue. \n \nDesigned with a 1/4” (6.35mm) BSP air inlet for compatibility with standard pneumatic workshop fittings and setups: The sander connects easily to most air lines without requiring adapters or custom couplings. This promotes ease of integration into existing workshop systems. The secure connection ensures reliable airflow and minimal pressure loss during operation. Users benefit from dependable tool performance across extended tasks. It eliminates setup headaches and supports plug-and-play functionality. \n \nOperates efficiently at a working air pressure of 6.5 bar (95 PSI), ensuring consistent output and dependable tool action: This operating pressure allows the sander to maintain performance across variable workloads. The regulated pressure also ensures safety and prevents overloading the motor or bearings. Users experience stable sanding results on both hard and soft materials. This level of pressure is common among home air compressors, supporting easy system compatibility. The result is predictable sanding without pulsing or stalling. \n \nAverage air consumption rated at 396L/min (14 CFM) at 100% duty cycle, suitable for moderate-duration tasks: This air usage rate ensures the sander performs optimally during most DIY sanding sessions. The tool is energy-efficient while still powerful enough for effective material removal. Users with appropriate compressors will find it suitable for both short and continuous projects. It balances air usage with performance for reliability over time. Ensures sanding is not interrupted by drop-offs in air delivery. \n \nRequires a minimum compressor size of 4HP (3kW) to supply consistent airflow during continuous tool operation: This specification ensures the sander receives sufficient air volume to avoid surging or motor hesitation. Users working with mid-sized compressors can run the tool effectively without exceeding power limitations. It fits within the range of common home workshop setups. The compressor pairing allows for full-duty sanding tasks with minimal downtime. It supports smoother operation on extended sessions. \n \nIdeal for DIY users seeking a reliable orbital sander for furniture restoration, automotive prep, and light finish work: The sander provides professional-level results without the complexity of heavier industrial units. It's well-suited to those who value maneuverability, control, and simplicity in their tools. Its compact design makes it easy to store and transport. Whether preparing timber for painting or stripping surface layers, it proves to be a consistent performer. A solid choice for non-commercial surface refinement tasks. \n \nThe Puma Orbital Air Sander – 5 Inch (127mm) offers a practical solution for DIYers looking to achieve smooth, clean finishes on a variety of surfaces. Its generous sanding platform, efficient orbital action, and air-powered performance make it a dependable tool for light to medium-duty projects. With compatibility across standard air systems and compressor requirements that suit most home workshops, this sander bridges convenience and capability. It’s the ideal choice for those looking to upgrade their surface preparation workflow with confidence and ease.
