ORB48 specifications

The Black & Decker ORB48 is a versatile and powerful cordless orbital sander designed to meet a range of sanding needs in woodworking and home improvement projects. With its ergonomic design and robust features, the ORB48 stands out as a must-have tool for both DIY enthusiasts and professional craftsmen.

At the heart of the ORB48 lies a potent 18V lithium-ion battery that provides ample power and runtime. This battery technology ensures that users can operate the sander cord-free, allowing for greater mobility and convenience. The included battery is compatible with other Black & Decker tools, which enhances overall utility and value for users.

One of the key features of the ORB48 is its random orbital sanding motion, which minimizes swirl marks and achieves a smooth finish on a variety of surfaces. This makes the sander perfect for tasks such as finishing wood, preparing surfaces for painting, or refinishing furniture. With a variable speed control ranging from 7,000 to 12,000 orbits per minute, users can easily adjust the speed based on the specific task at hand, whether sanding rough surfaces or achieving a fine finish.

The sander is equipped with a dust-sealed switch, which protects the internal components from dust and debris, enhancing the tool’s durability. In addition, the ORB48 features a built-in dust collection system that efficiently captures dust and particles generated during sanding. This not only helps keep the workspace cleaner but also promotes a healthier environment by reducing airborne irritants.

Comfort is a priority in the design of the ORB48, as it is outfitted with a soft grip handle that reduces fatigue during prolonged use. The lightweight and compact form factor also contributes to improved maneuverability, allowing users to reach into tight corners and awkward spaces with ease.

Furthermore, the Black & Decker ORB48 employs a simple hook-and-loop sanding pad system, making it quick and easy to change out sandpaper sheets. This feature is particularly advantageous when transitioning between different grits or types of paper, streamlining the sanding process.
