Milwaukee M18 FUEL 5 in. Random Orbital Sander

Model number
2837-20

The Milwaukee 2837-20 is a cordless 5 in. random orbital sander built for finish sanding, surface prep, and stock cleanup on the M18 FUEL platform. Milwaukee lists a 6,000 to 12,000 OPM range, a 2.5 mm orbit diameter, and a 3.1 lb bare-tool weight, positioning it as a stronger premium upgrade over the standard M18 random orbit sander. Its palm-grip layout and compact body are aimed at balancing control, comfort, and cordless mobility across flat workpieces and installed surfaces. This tool-only version is intended for users who already own M18 batteries and want Milwaukee's higher-tier sander in the platform.
