Chicago Pneumatic Orbital Sander | CP5506-R6SV | 8000 RPM | 3.6"x6.7" PSA Pad | 3/16" Orbit

Built for industrial sanding, finishing, and pre-polishing work, the Chicago Pneumatic CP5506-R6SV combines an 8,000 RPM free speed with a 0.5 hp (375 W) pneumatic motor for consistent orbital sanding performance. Its 6.7" x 3.6" rectangular PSA pad uses pressure-sensitive adhesive-backed abrasives, while the 3/16" orbit (5 mm sanding pattern) provides controlled orbital motion for surface preparation and refinement. The self-vacuum configuration adds dust-extraction capability at the tool.

The oil-free motor helps protect the sanding process from lubricant contamination, and an integrated motor silencer helps manage operating noise. A palm-shaped soft grip supports controlled handling, while the 3.75 lb weight keeps the tool compact for repeated sanding. With 23 CFM air consumption, a 1/4" NPT air inlet, and a 5/16" minimum hose diameter, the CP5506-R6SV fits professional shop and industrial surface-preparation work.

Features:

• 0.5 hp (375 W) motor provides power for industrial sanding, finishing, and pre-polishing operations.
• 8,000 RPM free speed provides rapid orbital movement for surface-preparation work.
• 3/16" (5 mm) orbit delivers controlled orbital motion for smoothing and surface refinement.
• Rectangular 6.7" x 3.6" PSA pad accepts compatible pressure-sensitive adhesive-backed abrasives.
• Self-vacuum configuration provides dust-extraction capability at the tool during sanding.
• Oil-free motor helps protect the sanding process from lubricant contamination.
• Integrated motor silencer and palm-shaped soft grip support controlled operation.

Applications:

• Industrial surface preparation - sanding and smoothing compatible surfaces before finishing.
• Finishing and pre-polishing - refining surfaces where controlled orbital motion is required.
• Metalworking shops - preparing fabricated components and suitable surfaces for finishing processes.
• Industrial shop and field operations - handling general sanding and surface-preparation tasks with pneumatic equipment.
• General workshops - routine sanding jobs on compatible materials with a rectangular palm-style orbital sander.

FAQs:

• Q: What does PSA mean on the CP5506-R6SV?
  A: PSA stands for pressure-sensitive adhesive. The rectangular pad accepts compatible abrasive sheets or papers with adhesive backing.
• Q: What is the difference between the CP5506-R6SV and CP5506-R6?
  A: The R6SV is the self-vacuum configuration, while the R6 is non-vacuum. Both use a 170 x 93 mm rectangular pad, 8,000 RPM free speed, 0.5 hp motor, and 3/16" orbit.
• Q: What air hose size should be used?
  A: Chicago Pneumatic specifies a 5/16" (8 mm) minimum hose diameter. The sander uses a 1/4" NPT air inlet and consumes 23 CFM.
• Q: What operating pressure is specified?
  A: The maximum working pressure is 90 PSI (6.3 bar). Chicago Pneumatic states that higher pressure can drastically reduce tool life.
