Our take on the M18 Random Orbit Sander

The Milwaukee M18 Random Orbit Sander is a cordless 5-inch sander built on the M18 battery platform. It runs a 7,000-12,000 OPM variable-speed dial with a 3/32-inch orbit, so you can slow it for finish work and open it up for stock removal. Milwaukee rates it at up to 35 minutes of run time on a 3.0 Ah pack, which is short of what a corded sander gives you but frees you from an outlet. It suits M18 owners who want one sander for site and shop work; the trade-off is battery dependence and a smaller orbit than some finish-focused rivals.

What reviewers say

Owners treat it as a solid cordless option for M18 users, valuing the speed dial and dust collection. The main complaints are run time on smaller packs and the need to keep batteries charged.

What people mention
  • Run timeMixedOwners say it sands well but drains smaller packs quickly, so larger batteries are preferred.
  • Speed controlPraisedThe variable dial is seen as useful for matching speed to the job.
  • Dust collectionPraisedThe canister and hose adapter are reported to capture dust well.
  • WeightCriticisedWith a battery fitted it feels heavier than a corded sander.
  • Orbit sizeMixedThe 3/32-inch orbit is versatile but not as fine as dedicated finish sanders.

About the M18 Random Orbit Sander

The Milwaukee M18 Random Orbit Sander is a cordless 5 in. sander that runs on M18 REDLITHIUM batteries. It reaches up to 12,000 OPM and delivers corded-level power. The motor is built to remove more material per battery charge.

A variable speed dial adjusts the output from 7,000 to 12,000 OPM, so the orbit speed can be matched to the application. The sanding pad uses a quick-change hook-and-loop system. A dust canister with a filter collects dust, and a universal hose adapter is included.

On a M18 3.0 Ah battery pack, run-time is up to 35 minutes. The sander is part of the M18 system of 150+ tools.
