Chicago Pneumatic Orbital Sander | CP5506-R6H | 8000 RPM | 3.6"x6.7" Hook & Loop Pad | 3/16" Orbit

Built for automotive refinishing, surface preparation, and finishing operations, the Chicago Pneumatic CP5506-R6H Orbital Sander delivers controlled sanding performance with an 8,000 RPM free speed and a 0.5 hp (375 W) motor that provides consistent power for smoothing and blending tasks. Its 3/16" orbit (5 mm sanding pattern that balances finish quality and material removal) helps create even surface results, while the 6.7" x 3.6" hook & loop pad allows quick abrasive changes for efficient workflow in professional shops. The rectangular pad configuration provides broad surface contact for preparing panels, fabricated parts, and other compatible materials.

The CP5506-R6H uses a lubrication-free motor to help reduce the risk of oil contamination on finished surfaces and includes an integrated motor silencer to help manage operating noise. With a compact 3.75 lb design, 23 CFM air consumption, and a 1/4" NPT air inlet, this pneumatic orbital sander provides the control and accessibility needed for body shops, fabrication environments, and industrial maintenance applications where consistent surface preparation is required.

Type: Orbital Sander | Model: CP5506-R6H | Part Number: 6151700670 | Free Speed: 8,000 RPM | Power: 0.5 hp (375 W) | Pad Size: 6.7" x 3.6" (170 x 93 mm) | Pad Type: Rectangular Hook & Loop | Orbit Diameter: 3/16" (5 mm) | Vacuum: Non Vacuum | Air Consumption: 23 CFM | Air Inlet: 1/4" NPT

Features:

• 0.5 hp (375 W) pneumatic motor provides consistent sanding power for preparation and finishing work.
• 3/16" orbit motion produces a controlled sanding pattern for blending and surface refinement.
• Rectangular 6.7" x 3.6" hook & loop pad allows fast abrasive changes to help reduce setup time between sanding tasks.
• Palm-shaped soft grip supports controlled operation during repetitive sanding applications.
• Integrated motor silencer helps reduce operating noise during use.
• Lubrication-free motor design helps prevent oil contamination on finished surfaces.
• Compact 3.75 lb body supports maneuverability when working across panels and flat surfaces.

Applications:

• Automotive refinishing - preparing body panels, smoothing filler, and creating consistent surfaces before painting.
• Collision repair shops - removing surface imperfections and blending repaired areas during restoration work.
• Metal fabrication and finishing - smoothing weld areas, preparing components, and improving surface appearance.
• Industrial maintenance - removing coatings and performing general sanding tasks on compatible materials.
• Professional workshops - handling routine sanding and finishing jobs where hook & loop abrasive attachment is preferred.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the difference between the CP5506-R6H and CP5506-R6?
  A: The CP5506-R6H uses a hook & loop pad for quick abrasive changes, while the CP5506-R6 uses a PSA pad system where abrasives attach with pressure-sensitive adhesive backing.
• Q: What does the 3/16" orbit provide?
  A: A 3/16" orbit provides a balanced sanding pattern suited for general finishing and surface preparation work where both material removal and surface quality are important.
• Q: Is the CP5506-R6H a vacuum sander?
  A: No. This model is listed as a non-vacuum orbital sander and does not include integrated dust extraction.
• Q: What air supply is required for this orbital sander?
  A: The CP5506-R6H requires approximately 23 CFM of air consumption. The compressor should be sized to maintain sufficient airflow for the intended sanding workload.
