SPEEDAIRE 31XG60 Palm Sander
The SPEEDAIRE 31XG60 is a new air-powered orbital sander built for light-duty finishing work. Its palm grip and 5-inch disc diameter suit detail sanding on wood, metal or composite surfaces. The tool weighs 1.3 lb and measures 5 3/4 in long for comfortable one-handed control. Random orbital motion with a 3/32 in orbit helps reduce visible swirl marks on the workpiece.
Compressor Requirements and Workspace Fit
The sander needs a compressed-air supply capable of 90 psi and 8 cfm consumption, with an average flow of 2 cfm during operation. A minimum 3/8 in hose and a 1/4 in NPT inlet fitting are required for connection. Rear exhaust directs airflow away from the work area and the operator. The non-vacuum design means dust extraction must be handled separately if needed.
Sustained Operation Characteristics
Under continuous use the 0.2 hp motor delivers steady random orbital action at the specified pressure. The pressure-sensitive adhesive mount holds discs securely during extended sanding sessions. Light-duty construction suits intermittent finishing tasks rather than heavy material removal. Rear exhaust and low vibration help maintain operator comfort over longer periods.

Questions about this item
What orbit diameter limits finish quality during long sanding sessions?
The 3/32 in orbit diameter sets the material removal rate and swirl pattern that appear first under sustained use.
How loud and hot does the 0.2 hp motor get when running all day?
Rear exhaust directs airflow away from the operator while the lightweight 1.3 lb palm design keeps vibration and heat buildup low during continuous operation.
What compressor fittings and hose must I already own to connect the 1/4 in NPT inlet?
A 3/8 in minimum hose and a 1/4 in NPT coupler are required to supply 8 cfm at 90 psi for proper sander performance.
