Random orbit sander (model BO6050J) with variable speed has a two-mode switch for random orbit action (finish sanding and buffing) and random orbit with forced rotation (aggressive sanding and polishing) providing leading wood sanding performance in Douglas-fir and SPF. This model offers a variable speed control dial with an increased range of random orbits (1,600-6,800 opm) and sanding strokes (3,200-13,600) allowing you to match the speed to the application. The compact tool height, 5-3\/4 In., and reduced weight, 5.7 lbs., increases efficiency and maneuverability, while the ergonomically designed barrel grip delivers optimum comfort and control. Engineered with a tool-less pad change system, the BO6050J uses convenient hook-and-loop abrasive sanding paper and accessories enabling a fast and efficient work flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvenient 2-mode switch for \"random orbit\" and \"random orbit with forced rotation\" action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable speed control dial (1,600 -
