Hutchins 6" Hook Pad 3/16" VA Random Orbit Action Super Sander (4960H)
The Hutchins 6" Hook Pad 3/16" VA Random Orbit Action Super Sander (4960H) is a high-performance pneumatic sanding tool engineered for professionals seeking efficient material removal and superior surface finishes. This robust random orbital sander is an enhanced, more aggressive version of the well-regarded Hutchins 4950, designed to tackle demanding tasks with precision and reliability. Its vacuum-assist (VA) capability ensures a cleaner working environment by effectively managing dust, leading to both a better finish and improved air quality. With a 6-inch hook-face pad, the 4960H readily accepts hook-and-loop sanding discs, making disc changes quick and straightforward. Proudly American-made, this tool embodies Hutchins' commitment to quality and craftsmanship, making it an indispensable asset in automotive, woodworking, metalworking, and general industrial applications where high-quality surface preparation is paramount. The lightweight and ergonomic design minimizes operator fatigue, allowing for extended periods of use without compromising performance.

Attach Sanding Disc: Ensure the sander is disconnected from the air supply. Align and firmly press a compatible 6-inch hook-and-loop sanding disc onto the hook-face pad.
Connect Air Supply: Attach the sander's air inlet to your compressed air line, ensuring proper pressure (90 PSI recommended).
Connect Vacuum (Optional but Recommended): If using the vacuum-assist feature, connect a 1-1/2 inch vacuum hose from your dust collection system to the sander's vacuum port.
Prepare Workpiece: Ensure your workpiece is clean and securely positioned.
Start Sanding: With the sander flat on the surface, depress the throttle lever to activate the random orbital action. Move the sander in overlapping passes, maintaining consistent pressure and speed.
Monitor Dust Collection: Regularly check the dust collection system for effectiveness, especially with the vacuum assist.
Change Discs: When the sanding disc is worn or you need a different grit, release the throttle, disconnect from the air supply, and peel off the old disc before attaching a new one.
Clean After Use: Disconnect the air supply and vacuum hose. Wipe down the sander to remove any residual dust or debris.
