The Milwaukee M18 Random Orbit Sander is a cordless 5-inch sander that runs on the M18 battery system. It spins at 7,000 to 12,000 orbits per minute with a variable-speed dial and a 3/32-inch orbit, so you can dial it down for finish work or run it wide open for stock removal. Milwaukee rates it at up to 35 minutes of runtime on a 3.0Ah pack, which is short of what a corded sander gives you but enough for trim, patch and touch-up work. It weighs about 2 pounds and includes a dust canister, a universal hose adapter and two 80-grit discs, but no battery. Against corded 5-inch sanders it trades unlimited runtime for freedom from an outlet; against other cordless sanders it leans on the M18 battery platform and Milwaukee's 5-year warranty.

Owners treat it as a solid cordless sander for small and mid-size jobs, with the variable-speed dial and light weight getting the most praise. The recurring complaint is runtime: a 3.0Ah pack gives roughly half an hour, so bigger sanding jobs mean swapping batteries.
The Milwaukee M18 Random Orbit Sander is a cordless sander that runs on M18 batteries. Its motor is built to remove more material per battery charge. It reaches up to 12,000 OPM.
A variable speed dial adjusts the speed from 7,000 to 12,000 OPM, so the orbit speed can be matched to the job. The sander has a 5" sanding pad and a 3/32" orbit diameter.
With REDLITHIUM battery technology, it runs up to 35 minutes on an M18 3.0Ah battery pack. A dust canister with a filter and a universal hose adapter are included for dust collection. The tool is sold without a battery.
