About the Milwaukee 2832-20 M18 FUEL 3"x18" Belt Sander, Bare Tool

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 3" x 18" Belt Sander is a cordless belt sander for carpenters, remodelers and general contractors. Its POWERSTATE brushless motor generates the power and torque of an 8A corded belt sander. REDLINK PLUS intelligence protects the tool from overload, overheating and over-discharge.

A variable speed dial adjusts belt speed from 1350 SFM to 750 SFM. Automatic belt tracking keeps the belt centered on the drive rollers, and a tool-free knob adjusts the belt from left to right across the platen. A tool-free lever handles belt changes. The tool-free adjustable pommel allows flush sanding against the flat nose and gives a more compact footprint for storage.

The sander collects over 80% of the dust it generates. It comes with a cotton dust bag and a universal hose adapter that fits a wide range of vacuum sizes. Dual LED work lights illuminate the work surface, and a lock-on button is included. It is part of the Milwaukee M18 system. This is a bare tool; the battery is not included.
