The Milwaukee 2832-20 is an 18-volt cordless belt sander with a 3-inch by 18-inch belt, built for carpenters, remodelers and general contractors. Its brushless POWERSTATE motor and REDLINK PLUS electronics push belt speed to 1,350 SFM, which Milwaukee rates as matching an 8A corded sander, with a variable dial down to 750 SFM for finer work. It adds automatic belt tracking, a tool-free belt change lever, dual LED lights and a dust bag or hose adapter that Milwaukee says captures over 80% of dust. It is sold as a bare tool, so batteries and charger are extra, and it is heavier and bulkier than a compact corded sander.

Owners and reviewers treat the 2832-20 as one of the few cordless belt sanders that keeps up with corded models, praising its speed, tracking and dust capture. Most criticism centers on the bare-tool packaging and the battery drain under continuous load.
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 3" x 18" Belt Sander is a cordless belt sander for carpenters, remodelers and general contractors. It generates the power and torque of an 8A corded belt sander. It is sold as a tool only, so the battery is not included.
A POWERSTATE Brushless Motor and REDLINK PLUS intelligence deliver a belt speed of 1350 SFM with less bog down under load. They also protect the tool from overload, overheating and over discharge. A variable speed dial adjusts belt speed from 1350 SFM to 750 SFM for use on a wider variety of materials.
The dust collection system collects over 80% of the dust generated. It works with a dust bag or a universal hose adapter. The pommel is tool-free and adjustable, so the sander can sand flush against the front and store more compactly. Other features include automatic belt tracking, a tool-free belt tracking knob, dual LED lights, a tool-free belt change lever and a lock-on button.
