- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- No. It is sold as a bare tool, so you need an M18 battery and charger, or a kit that includes them.
- What size sanding discs does it use?
- It takes standard 5-inch hook-and-loop discs, the same size as most random orbit sanders.
- Can it replace a corded sander?
- For finish sanding, trim and paint prep, yes. For heavy stock removal or long continuous sessions, a corded sander is still the better tool.
- How long does a battery last?
- That depends on the pack. A compact 2.0Ah pack gives short runs; a 5.0Ah or larger pack lasts much longer under continuous sanding.
- Does it have a dust bag?
- It has a dust port that accepts a bag or a hose. Owners say a shop vac gives much better dust capture than the bag alone.
- Is it compatible with other M18 batteries?
- Yes. It runs on any Milwaukee M18 18V lithium-ion pack, including High Output versions.
- Where is the Milwaukee M18 18V Lithium-Ion Cordless Random Orbit Sander cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $329.00, as of our latest check.
