Chicago Pneumatic Random Orbital Sander | CP5306-35CV | 12000 RPM | 3.5" PSA Pad | 3/16" Orbit

Built for compact sanding stations, spot repair, and controlled finish preparation, the Chicago Pneumatic CP5306-35CV pneumatic random orbital sander delivers a fast 12,000 RPM free speed with a 0.3 hp / 210 W motor for efficient abrasive motion on smaller panels, contours, repaired areas, and prepared surfaces. Its 3.5" / 90 mm PSA circular pad uses pressure-sensitive adhesive discs, giving technicians secure abrasive attachment for detail sanding and repeated finishing passes.

The 3/16" / 5 mm orbit creates a controlled random orbital sanding pattern for primer sanding, coating preparation, filler smoothing, and surface refinement before paint or polishing. This central vacuum CP53 Series model connects to a compatible external dust extraction system, helping pull sanding debris away from the work area during body shop, fabrication, maintenance, and restoration work where a smaller pad improves control.

Features:

• 0.3 hp / 210 W pneumatic motor supports sanding, finishing, and pre-polishing work on smaller prepared surfaces.
• 12,000 RPM free speed provides quick abrasive movement for spot repair, coating preparation, and surface refinement.
• 3.5" / 90 mm circular PSA pad gives compact abrasive contact and secure adhesive-backed disc retention.
• 3/16" / 5 mm orbit helps create a controlled sanding pattern for primer work, light material removal, and finish preparation.
• Central vacuum configuration connects to a compatible external extraction system to help manage sanding dust at the source.
• Ergonomic palm-shaped soft grip supports better control during detail sanding, edge work, and smaller repair areas.
• Integrated motor silencer helps reduce operating noise in body shop, repair, and production environments.
• Lubrication-free motor helps reduce oil carryover concerns around sanding, paint preparation, and finishing work.

Applications:

• Autobody repair and refinishing: Sanding spot repairs, small panels, primer, filler, and blend areas before paint or polishing steps.
• Paint and coating preparation: Preparing primed, painted, and coated surfaces where a compact 3.5" pad improves control.
• Metal fabrication: Smoothing smaller fabricated parts, blending surface marks, and preparing components before coating or final finishing.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO: Cleaning up covers, guards, housings, repair patches, and smaller equipment surfaces during refurbishment.
• Production sanding stations: Repeated detail sanding where central vacuum extraction helps support cleaner operation and better surface visibility.
• Workshop and garage use: Detail sanding on compatible materials when paired with PSA abrasive discs and a compressor sized for the tool's airflow demand.

FAQs:

• Q: What abrasive discs fit the CP5306-35CV?
  A: This model uses 3.5" / 90 mm circular PSA abrasive discs. PSA stands for pressure-sensitive adhesive, meaning the abrasive disc sticks directly to the pad rather than attaching with hook & loop backing.
• Q: What does central vacuum mean on this sander?
  A: Central vacuum means the tool is made to connect to a compatible external dust extraction system. This helps pull sanding dust away from the work surface during continuous sanding work.
• Q: What is the benefit of the 3.5" pad size?
  A: The 3.5" pad gives better control on spot repairs, contours, small parts, and detail areas. Larger 5" or 6" sanders cover more surface per pass, but this size is easier to manage in tighter sanding zones.
• Q: What does the 3/16" orbit do?
  A: Orbit diameter is the size of the pad's random sanding motion. A 3/16" / 5 mm orbit provides a balanced pattern for primer sanding, surface preparation, and finish refinement without being as aggressive as larger-orbit sanders.
• Q: What air supply does the CP5306-35CV require?
  A: The tool is rated for 90 PSI / 6.3 bar and uses 17 CFM / 8 l/s at load. Use at least a 1/4" / 6 mm air hose and confirm the compressor can maintain airflow during continuous sanding.
