Built for fine sanding, finish prep, and surface work where lower vibration and a smaller sanding footprint matter, the Ingersoll Rand R035C-C2 Premium Random Orbital Sander pairs a 5" vinyl pad with a 3/32" orbit for controlled finishing on wood, composites, fiberglass, sheet metal, and similar materials. The smaller 3/32" orbit creates a fine random orbital sanding pattern the pad moves in small overlapping motions rather than one fixed circular path to help reduce visible swirl marks before paint, coating, or final finishing.
Powered by a 0.3 HP motor with 13,000 RPM free speed, the R035C-C2 provides the surface speed needed for productive sanding while staying compact enough for panels, contoured parts, and bench work. This Premium Random Orbital Sander is listed as vacuum ready, allowing connection to compatible dust extraction systems for particle removal during sanding. Manufacturer-listed 2.3 m/s² vibration and 80.9 dB(A) sound pressure help support longer sanding sessions in repair, fabrication, woodworking, and MRO environments.
Type: Random Orbital Sander | Series: Premium Random Orbital Sander | Model: R035C-C2 | Pad Size: 5" / 127 mm | Pad Style: Vinyl | Orbit Diameter: 3/32" / 2.5 mm | Max Free Speed: 13,000 RPM | Rated Power: 0.3 HP / 0.22 kW | Vacuum Ready: Vacuum Ready | Weight: 1.8 lb / 0.82 kg | Length: 6.69" / 170 mm | Vibration: 2.3 m/s² | Vibration Uncertainty K: 0.8 m/s² | Sound Pressure: 80.9 dB(A) | Sound Power: 91.9 dB(A)
Features:
- 0.3 HP motor provides the sanding power needed for finish preparation, repair work, and general surface conditioning.
- 13,000 RPM free speed supports fast sanding action across common materials without moving to a larger tool body.
- 3/32" orbit helps produce a fine, swirl-free finish when surface quality is more important than aggressive stock removal.
- 5" vinyl pad gives the sander a compact working footprint for smaller panels, curved surfaces, and controlled finishing passes.
- Vacuum-ready configuration supports connection to compatible dust extraction systems for particle removal during sanding.
- Extended handle provides additional support and hinges up for access to the air inlet.
- Recessed paddle helps avoid pinch points, while the tucked-away regulator allows quick changes during use.
- Contoured housing and ultimate comfort grip support controlled handling during extended sanding sessions.
Applications:
- Autobody and refinishing: Sanding repaired areas, smoothing primer, feathering edges, and preparing smaller panels before paint.
- Woodworking and cabinet shops: Fine sanding on trim, cabinet parts, furniture components, doors, and smaller wood surfaces.
- Composite and fiberglass work: Preparing molded parts, refining fiberglass surfaces, and finishing composite components before coating.
- Metalworking and fabrication: Light surface cleanup, sheet metal finishing, and preparation of parts before paint or protective coating.
- Industrial maintenance and MRO: Repair, refurbishment, and surface-prep tasks where compact size, vacuum-ready operation, and low vibration are useful.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the R035C-C2 best used for?
A: The R035C-C2 is best suited for fine sanding and finish preparation on smaller surfaces. Its 5" pad and 3/32" orbit make it useful for panels, contoured parts, woodworking pieces, fiberglass, composites, and light metal finishing. - Q: What does the 3/32" orbit mean?
A: Orbit diameter is the size of the pad’s sanding motion. A 3/32" orbit creates a finer sanding pattern than larger-orbit models, making it a good choice when finish quality and swirl-mark reduction are priorities. - Q: Is this a self-generating vacuum sander?
A: No. The R035C-C2 is listed as vacuum ready, not self-generating. It is made to connect to a compatible external dust extraction or vacuum system. - Q: Does the R035C-C2 use hook-and-loop abrasive discs?
A: No. The R035C-C2 is listed with a vinyl pad. For a 5", 3/32" orbit Premium model with a hook-and-loop pad, review the R035C-C2-HL version. - Q: How loud is this sander?
A: The manufacturer lists sound pressure at 80.9 dB(A) and sound power at 91.9 dB(A). Hearing protection should be selected according to your workplace safety program and exposure duration.
