Dynabrade 56850 Air Random Orbital Sander
The Dynabrade 56850 is a palm-style air random orbital sander built for industrial duty. It accepts a 5 in vinyl-faced pad and runs on a 0.28 hp motor with a 3/32 in orbit diameter. The tool uses a lever throttle and a 5/16 in.-24 spindle, suited for technicians who need a lightweight pneumatic sander for surface preparation and finishing work.
Sustained air consumption and speed
At full load the sander draws 18.0 CFM at 90 psi, while a 15-second run averages 4.5 CFM. Free speed is rated at 12,000 RPM with no variable-speed control. Continuous operation therefore requires a compressor that can maintain the higher flow rate; otherwise speed and cutting action will drop off during extended use.
Installation notes and common issues
Connect the 1/4 in NPT air inlet to a hose of at least 1/4 in ID and set the regulator to 90 psi. The rear exhaust directs air away from the workpiece, but the tool has no integrated vacuum port, so dust collection must be handled separately. The most frequent problem is insufficient compressor capacity causing the sander to stall or run below rated speed.

Questions about this item
How much air does the 0.28 hp sander consume during a full work shift?
At full load the tool draws 18.0 CFM; average consumption over a 15-second cycle is 4.5 CFM, so plan compressor capacity accordingly.
Which fittings and hose must I already have to connect the 1/4 in NPT inlet?
A 1/4 in NPT coupler and a hose with at least 1/4 in inner diameter are required to supply the 90 psi operating pressure.
Will the 5/16 in-24 spindle accept the 5 in vinyl pads I already own?
Yes, the 5/16 in-24 thread matches standard 5 in pads, so existing vinyl-faced discs can be used directly.
