The Orbit Forge is a 300W random orbital polisher and sander with a pure-copper motor and electronic speed control. It has six speeds, from 4,000 to 12,000 orbits per minute, and the electronic control keeps torque steady under load. The 125mm (5-inch) pad rotates and oscillates at the same time, a dual-action motion that prevents swirl marks.
It works on automotive clear coat, hardwood, metal, fiberglass and composites. For paint correction, the listed settings are 6,000 OPM for cutting compound, 8,000 OPM for polishing and 10,000 OPM for finishing glaze. On wood, it is used for sanding through grits from 80 to 400 before oil or lacquer. It also blends weld seams on stainless steel.
The body is high-impact nylon composite with an over-molded grip. Vibration-dampening elastomer layers in the grip reduce fatigue during long sessions. A hook-and-loop backing plate lets you change sandpaper without tools. The dust port connects to standard 35mm vacuum hoses, and a dust bag is included for use without a vacuum.
