Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0194073A1] A random orbital sander (10; 150) including a housing (17), a motor (24) having a vertical axis (71) in the housing (17), a pad (14) coupled to the motor (24), a face (70) on the pad (14) extending substantially perpendicularly to the vertical axis (71), a shroud (13) surrounding the pad (14), an opening (85) in the shroud (13), and a dust discharge tube (12) having an inner end (84) in communication with the opening (85) and an outer end (83) on the dust discharge tube end (12) extending at an acute angle to the face (70) of the pad (14). An orbital sander (220) wherein the pad (233) is supported from the sander housing by columnar units (242) located on opposite sides of the motor (225). A bore (184) in the motor shaft (227) conducts compressed air through the chamber (278) housing the bearings (276) which support the spindle (275) which mounts the pad (233).
