Milwaukee M18 5 in. Random Orbit Sander

Model number
2648-20

The Milwaukee 2648-20 is a cordless 5 in. random orbit sander designed for general-purpose surface prep, finish sanding, and material cleanup on the M18 platform. Milwaukee lists a 7,000 to 12,000 OPM range, a 2.4 mm orbit diameter, and a 2.7 lb bare-tool weight to support a mix of removal speed and manageable control. Its compact shape and 5 in. pad make it a practical option for furniture work, trim, and flat-stock sanding where cord-free mobility is useful. This tool-only version fits existing M18 users who want a standard random orbit sander without stepping up to the FUEL tier.
