Description:
This compact detail sander from SKIL brings multi-function sanding to small and intricate projects, offering steady power and convenient dust control for workshop and home tasks. It combines a 2 amp motor with a high orbital speed to handle edges, corners and contoured surfaces while keeping dust manageable for cleaner work.
Key Points
The tool runs on a 2 amp motor and delivers up to 13,500 orbits per minute for consistent sanding performance across a variety of materials. It includes three easy-to-change accessory attachments so you can switch between pad shapes for corners, large flat areas and irregular contours without using extra tools. A micro-filter dust box captures fine dust and there is a 1-1/4 inch dust port for optional vacuum hookup to reduce cleanup time and airborne particles. The sander features a dust-sealed on/off switch and a soft-grip ergonomic handle that reduces vibration and helps maintain comfort during longer sessions.

Benefits
This SKIL detail sander is designed to make precision sanding faster and neater. The variety of attachments expands its usability from tight corners to broader surfaces, allowing one tool to replace several specialty sanders. The combination of a micro-filter dust box and a vacuum-compatible port helps keep the workspace cleaner and reduces airborne dust exposure, according to the manufacturer. Ergonomic considerations like the soft rubber grip and counterbalanced design help lower hand fatigue so you can maintain control on delicate finishing tasks.
Usage Recommendations
For best results, select the attachment that matches the surface geometry and use the appropriate grit from the included 12-piece sanding set. Connect a shop vacuum to the 1-1/4 inch dust port for heavier sanding jobs to improve dust collection. Consider that while the micro-filter box traps a large portion of dust, very fine particles may still become airborne unless a vacuum is used. Change the sanding sheets with the quick-change system when wear affects cut rate to keep consistent finish quality.
