Abstract: An orbital sander includes a housing, a motor within the housing and having a drive shaft defining a motor axis, an eccentric drive unit coupled to the drive shaft and configured to convert rotation of the drive shaft to an orbit motion around the motor axis, a sanding pad defining a horizontal work plane and coupled to the eccentric drive unit for orbital motion about the motor axis, and a battery receptacle extending along the housing. The battery receptacle is operable to receive a removable battery pack for providing electrical current to the motor. The battery receptacle defines a battery axis along which the battery pack is installed and the battery axis forms an acute battery angle relative to the work plane.

Abstract: A random orbit sander includes a housing and a motor enclosed within the housing. The motor includes a motor shaft that is rotatable about a first axis. An eccentric carrier coupled to the motor shaft includes a circular internal bore that defines a second axis that is offset from the motor shaft. A bearing is received within the circular internal bore of the eccentric carrier. A sanding pad is supported by the bearing and is rotatable about the first axis in an eccentrically orbiting manner. The motor shaft and the eccentric carrier are integrally formed as a single piece.

Abstract: An orbital sander includes a housing, a motor within housing, the motor including a motor shaft defining a motor axis, an eccentric drive unit coupled to the motor shaft to convert rotation of the motor shaft to an orbit motion around the motor axis, a battery receptacle for receiving a battery pack, a backing pad coupled to the eccentric drive unit for orbital motion about the motor axis, and a dust collection assembly adjacent the backing pad for directing dust away from the backing pad. The orbital sander, including the housing, the motor, the eccentric drive unit, the battery receptacle, the backing pad, and the dust collection assembly, defines a center of gravity CGROS located on a first side of the motor axis adjacent the battery receptacle. The dust collection assembly defines a center of gravity CGDCA on a second side of the motor axis opposite the first side.
