Model 4960 - UltraSmooth VA Material Removal - 3/16" Offset with PSA Pad

For professionals who want to work faster and cleaner without sacrificing finish quality, the Hutchins Model 4960 delivers. Built on the proven platform of the 4560, this Vacuum Assist variation combines an aggressive 3/16" offset with integrated dust control, giving you faster material removal, dust-free operation, and Hutchins’ legendary balance in one tool.

Like the 4500/4560 family, the 4960 is engineered with ultra-low vibration balance. Its sturdy aluminum body and flex-cover grip reduce hand strain, and the optional #1839-1 handle provides even greater control while dampening vibration transfer over two hands. For many operators, this means less fatigue during long shifts — and for those already living with Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS/white finger), the 4960 can make the difference between being able to keep working or not. Equipping yourself with Hutchins finishing sanders early also means protecting your hands and career for the long term.

The 4960 is powered by Hutchins’ air-efficient motor and Positive-Action Drive, backed by a 4-bearing system and oversized drive head that ensure full, steady pad contact. The Vacuum Assist system connects directly to shop vacuums, keeping your surface clear, your air cleaner, and your workflow uninterrupted. And with the built-in pad release system, abrasive changes are quick and efficient.

Choose the 4950 for ultra-fine 3/32" finishing with Vacuum Assist. Choose the 4960 if you want faster, more aggressive 3/16" sanding with the same dust-free performance. Together, they form the ultimate finishing pair for comfort, cleanliness, and control.
