Mirka is expanding its power tools range with the addition of the first small, brushless, battery-driven, spot repair, cordless sanders that have both orbital and random orbital movements. The new AOS-B 130NV and AROS-B 150 NV sanders are suitable for multiple sanding operations including finessing and primer sanding applications, producing a highly quality, consistently smooth finish, while maximising workshop productivity.
The AOS and AROS are both powered by a Mirka BPA 10820 battery pack, which has a full charge time of just 40 minutes, reducing tool downtime and increasing efficiency. When fully charged, it provides the user with economical and consistent performance over a life which can last up to 16 hours when used for spot repair applications.
The rpm on the sanders can be adjusted in steps from 4,000 rpm up to 8,000 rpm and, if required, can be locked to prevent accidental rpm changes. The easy-to-use trigger system stops the sander when the fingers are removed from the trigger, but it will continue to stay in an active mode for a short time before it automatically shuts off. The sanders also offer reduced noise and vibration levels to improve operator comfort.
Their innovative features also include an easy attachment for the backing pad with the help of a ‘quicklock’ system, resulting in less downtime when changing abrasives. The new Mirka cordless tools come complete with spare battery, charger and two quicklock backing pads: PSA Hard (mounted on the machine) and Grip Soft. The tools are covered by the Mirka 2+1 year warranty.
