AirCat Orbital Sander

AirCat Orbital Sanders: Engineered for Professional Surface Prep

When it comes to pneumatic surface finishing, AirCat has earned a well-deserved reputation among professional technicians and serious enthusiasts alike. Their orbital sanders carry the same engineering DNA that defines the entire AirCat lineup — maximum performance delivered at dramatically reduced noise and vibration levels. For anyone spending hours on body work, paint prep, or finish sanding, that combination is a genuine game-changer.

Patented Technologies That Set AirCat Apart

AirCat lubrication-free orbital sanders incorporate the latest engineering concepts, advanced materials, and patented designs for superior performance. Several key innovations stand out from the rest of the field:

• Patented Double-Sealed Motor: A patented double sealed, lubrication-free motor prevents dust contamination of the air motor and eliminates the need for oiling. This is a critical advantage in dusty sanding environments where traditional motors can quickly foul and fail.
• Patented Anti-Vibration Design: The patented "anti-vibration" motor design reduces vibration level to 0.8m/sec². Reduced vibration means less operator fatigue over long sessions — a real productivity benefit on the shop floor.
• Advanced Silencing Technology: Advanced silencing technology reduces noise level to 75 dB(A). In a busy garage or body shop, quieter tools mean a safer, more pleasant work environment for everyone.
• Low Air Consumption: AIRCAT technology reduces average air consumption to 1.6 CFM, making these sanders highly efficient and easy on compressor capacity.
• Ergonomic Comfort: Each orbital sander features technology that reduces weight, noise, and vibration while extending tool life, and the smooth throttle lever and ergonomic grip provide unmatched comfort and control.

AirCat Orbital Sander Models: Options for Every Task

AirCat offers several orbital sander configurations to match different surface prep needs. The flagship 6700-6 series palm sanders feature a 6-inch sanding pad in multiple variants: a non-vacuum version for open spaces, a self-generating vacuum model with a dust bag to effectively collect dust when a shop vacuum is not available, and a central-vac version for plumbed dust collection systems. Orbit size options include 3/16-inch for finer finish work and 3/8-inch for more aggressive material removal.

For precision spot work, the AirCat 6320 Spot Sander-Polisher takes a different approach. It features an internal 1/8" orbital head for ultra-fine sanding and polishing, with an internal silencing system that reduces noise levels to 78 dBA. Owing to its 1" x 2" pad size, this sander is perfect for minimizing your work area and allows for precision when addressing blemishes, keeping the scope of a sand, polish, and buff project tight to affect only the targeted area.

Why AirCat for Orbital Sanding?

Established in 1998, AIRCAT is a brand of Continental Tool Group, Inc., committed to product innovation, high-quality standards, and constant development — with products that continue to represent significant advances in pneumatic power tool performance year after year. For orbital sanding specifically, that philosophy translates into tools that survive the harsh, dusty conditions of real-world body shops while keeping operators comfortable and productive throughout the workday.
