Porter Cable - the leader in sanding innovation since 1926 - once again
changes the game with the 392 5" Low Profile Random Orbit Sander
featuring ENDURATECH motor technology for improved productivity,
durability and control. The ENDURATECH motor, rated at 3 amps, uses
brushless technology that reduces the number of wearable components by
71% - giving the motor 5-10 times longer life compared to traditional
palm grip sander motors. Besides increased durability, the Low Profile
Sander features two innovations for improved results: electronic load
control and electronic motor braking. Electronic load control helps
maintain pad speed by monitoring motor output and increasing power
under load conditions whereas traditional random orbit sanders slow
down as force is applied to the tool. Electronic motor braking stops
the sander almost immediately - 73% faster than sanders during testing
- so the user can safely set the sander down without waiting for the
pad to stop. As for its unique shape, Porter Cable borrowed the low
profile design of pneumatic sanders to leverage the ENDURATECH motor
and reduce the tool's overall height. The lowered center of gravity
places the users' hand 31% closer to the material being sanded for
improved ergonomics and a smoother finish.
Features:
- 3.5 Amp EnduraTech motor for increased performance and durability
- Variable-speed 7,000-to-12,000 OPM for optimal removal rate on a variety of materials; 3/32-inch orbit diameter
- Low-profile design reduces sander height by 31-percent for better control and finish
- Measures 4 x 5 x 7 inches; weighs 1.95 pounds
- Mechanical pad brake reduces free-spin to virtually eliminate gouging
