Milwaukee M12 FUEL 3 in. Random Orbital Detail Sander

Model number
2535-20

The Milwaukee 2535-20 is a compact cordless 3 in. random orbital detail sander built for smaller panels, contours, spot refinishing, and finish prep in tighter spaces. Milwaukee lists a 4,000 to 10,000 OPM range, a 2.5 mm orbit diameter, and a 2.0 lb bare-tool weight, giving it more coverage than a point-style detail pad while staying easy to control. Its pistol-grip layout and small round pad make it useful for bodywork, cabinetry, trim, and restoration tasks where a full-size sander feels oversized. This tool-only model is intended for users who already run M12 batteries and want a compact premium sander for detail-oriented jobs.
