Designed for industrial and high-production environments, the Hutchins Model 8970 delivers unmatched sanding performance with integrated dust containment — all without the need for an external vacuum source.
At its core is a revolutionary motor design paired with Hutchins’ legendary balance and durability. The 8970’s captive pad orbit system generates up to 40% more sanding performance and 50% faster operating speed than conventional sanders, making it one of the most productive random orbitals ever built.
The Multi-Option dust control design collects dust directly at the source, keeping your workspace cleaner and safer. For even greater flexibility, it can be used with dust collection bags or as part of a vacuum system to further enhance extraction capabilities. And with Hutchins’ patented built-in pad release button, abrasive changes are fast and hassle-free.
