New Random Orbit 4-disk Sander
The SMF-TETRAD was created out of a need for a lighter and faster machine with a smaller orbit to fine finish softer materials. The TETRAD is excellent for finishing laquers, veneers, pine and other softer materials. It is a random orbital 4 disc surface finishing machine with 5" disks that combine for a 13" overall area. It is capable of finishing horizontal surfaces in a fraction of the time taken with conventional one disk sanders.
