6" Air Random Orbital Sander

The Chicago Pneumatic CP7255H is a medium-duty air-powered orbital sander built for surface preparation and finishing tasks. Its extended grip and variable speed settings suit technicians and fabricators who need controlled material removal on metal, composite or wood substrates.

12,000 rpm with 3/16" orbit diameter

The gearless motor delivers 0.3 hp at a free speed of 12,000 rpm, providing a 3/16 inch random orbit that balances cut rate with finish quality. It handles typical blending and feather-edging work comfortably, though heavy stock removal on hard materials will reach the tool's power limit quickly.

17 cfm at 90 psi air supply requirements

Operation requires a compressed air source capable of 17 cfm at 90 psi through a minimum 3/8 inch hose with a 1/4 inch NPT inlet. Shops with smaller compressors or restricted airline capacity will not sustain full performance, and the non-vacuum design means separate dust extraction must be arranged.

Questions about this item

Will the CP7255H run on my existing compressor that delivers 90 psi and 17 cfm?

Yes, the sander requires 90 psi and consumes 17 cfm, so a compressor meeting those figures will drive it.

How can I confirm the CP7255H is running at the rated 12000 rpm after I connect it?

The tool has variable speed control; at full throttle with 90 psi supply it reaches the rated 12000 rpm.

Does the CP7255H come with sanding discs or a vacuum hose, or must I buy them separately?

The sander uses hook-and-loop discs and has no vacuum holes; discs and any dust-extraction parts are purchased separately.
