The Kovax Random Orbital Sander delivers brushless motor power with infinitely variable speed control between 4,000 and 10,000 RPM, providing controlled sanding from heavy-duty work through to finishing. The machine is light in the hand and maintains a low vibration level, which is clearly noticeable during longer work sessions. The 150 mm disc diameter and 5/16″ thread make it compatible with standard sanding pads of the same size.
The brushless motor keeps the speed stable even under load, and the soft-start with electronic control reduces jerking on start-up. Sanding pads are changed easily, saving time when switching materials mid-job. See more sanding pads for orbital sanders in our range.
Why workshops choose the Kovax Random Orbital Sander
Workshops choose the Kovax Random Orbital Sander for the brushless motor's combination of power, low weight and long service life. The intelligent motor control keeps the speed stable even under pressure against the surface, contributing to more even results on paintwork and other sensitive materials. Energy-saving automatic shut-off and low maintenance costs contribute to lower running costs over time.
The ergonomics are suited to longer work sessions, with a balanced design that reduces strain on the wrist. The soft-start and start/stop function make the machine easy to handle, even for those new to orbital sanding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the Kovax Random Orbital Sander fit sanding pads with a diameter other than 150 mm?
No, the Kovax Random Orbital Sander is designed for sanding pads with a 150 mm diameter and 5/16″ thread. Other pad diameters are not recommended without checking compatibility first, as the balance and orbital motion are matched to the specified size.
How much noise does the Kovax Random Orbital Sander produce during operation?
The Kovax Random Orbital Sander is described by the manufacturer as quiet in operation with a low vibration level, contributing to more comfortable work sessions over time. Maintenance is mainly limited to changing sanding pads and keeping the motor housing clean, resulting in low maintenance costs. See more Kovax sanding products in our range.
What sets the Kovax Random Orbital Sander apart from traditional brushed sanders?
The difference lies in the brushless motor of the Kovax Random Orbital Sander, which maintains constant speed under load and requires less maintenance than brushed motors. Brushed motors wear faster and need regular replacement of carbon brushes, while the brushless design in this Kovax machine delivers a longer service life and more consistent performance.
