The Milwaukee M18 Random Orbit Sander is a cordless 5-inch sander that runs on the M18 battery platform, so anyone already on Milwaukee's 18V tools can sand without a cord. It has a 3/32-inch orbit and variable speed from 7,000 to 12,000 OPM, with a max of 12,000 OPM. The kit pairs the bare tool with a 5.0Ah RedLithium battery and charger, which gives long, fade-free run time but adds bulk and weight compared with a compact corded sander. Reviewers like the freedom from cords and the platform compatibility; the trade-offs are weight, the need to manage batteries, and a higher entry cost than a basic corded unit.
