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

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

The 3/16" / 5 mm orbit provides a balanced random orbital sanding pattern for primer sanding, coating preparation, filler smoothing, and surface refinement before finishing or polishing. This self-vacuum CP53 Series model helps pull sanding dust away from the work surface when used with compatible dust collection components, making it useful for body shops, maintenance areas, fabrication work, and garage sanding tasks where a smaller pad improves control.

Features:

• 0.3 hp / 210 W pneumatic motor supports efficient sanding, finishing, and pre-polishing work on smaller prepared surfaces.
• 12,000 RPM free speed keeps the abrasive moving quickly for spot repair, coating preparation, and finish refinement.
• 3.5" / 90 mm circular PSA pad provides compact abrasive contact and secure adhesive-backed disc attachment.
• 3/16" / 5 mm orbit creates a controlled sanding pattern for primer sanding, light material removal, and surface preparation.
• Self-vacuum configuration helps move sanding dust away from the work area when paired with compatible collection components.
• Ergonomic palm-shaped soft grip helps improve control during spot sanding, edge work, and detail repair tasks.
• Integrated motor silencer helps reduce operating noise in body shop, repair, and production environments.
• Lubrication-free motor helps reduce oil carryover concerns around paint preparation, sanding, and finishing work.
• Rated for 2,000 operating hours with low maintenance supports regular use in sanding and surface preparation workflows.

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, or coated surfaces where a compact 3.5" pad improves control.
• Metal fabrication: Blending surface marks, smoothing smaller fabricated parts, and preparing components before coating or final finishing.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO: Cleaning up covers, housings, guards, repair patches, and smaller equipment surfaces during refurbishment.
• Vehicle service and restoration: Refinishing tight repair areas, curved surfaces, and small body sections where larger sanders are less practical.
• 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 CP5306-35SV?
  A: This model uses 3.5" / 90 mm circular PSA abrasive discs. PSA stands for pressure-sensitive adhesive, meaning the disc sticks directly to the pad rather than attaching with hook & loop backing.
• Q: What does self-vacuum mean on this sander?
  A: Self-vacuum means the tool is configured to help pull sanding dust away from the work surface without requiring a central vacuum line. Use compatible dust collection components and abrasives so the collection path can function properly.
• Q: What is the advantage of the 3.5" pad size?
  A: The 3.5" pad gives better control on spot repairs, contours, smaller 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 surface preparation, primer sanding, and finish refinement without being as aggressive as larger-orbit sanders.
• Q: What air supply does the CP5306-35SV 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.
