Product Specification

PNEUMATIC QUICK CHANGE SANDER – PISTOL GRIP

The Benchmark Abrasives Pneumatic Quick Change Sander – Pistol Grip is built for fast, controlled surface preparation in tight spaces, small panels, edges, contours, and detailed fabrication work. Its compact pistol-style body puts powerful rotary sanding performance in the palm of your hand, while the Type R quick-change system lets you swap abrasives in seconds and keep moving from grinding to stripping, blending, or finishing without constantly stopping to change tools.

The ergonomic pistol-style body delivers excellent balance and control during extended use, with a textured grip that helps steady the tool under load. A smooth, responsive throttle lets you feather the speed for delicate blending or apply more power for aggressive material removal, giving you greater control as the application changes. Rear or adjustable exhaust helps direct air and debris away from the operator, while durable metal construction and precision air-motor components are built for regular shop use.

Pair it with Benchmark Abrasives 2" or 3" Type R Quick Change Discs and one compact pneumatic tool can handle multiple stages of the job. Run aluminum oxide for general-purpose sanding, step up to zirconia or ceramic for heavier grinding, switch to surface conditioning for blending and finishing, or use speed-rated stripping discs to attack rust, paint, coatings, and surface contamination. The quick-change system keeps you working at the bench instead of wasting time on lengthy abrasive changeovers. Every disc and holder must be rated for at least 15,000 RPM.

Applications & Performance

The pistol-grip configuration gives you a natural hand position and excellent control over the abrasive, making this sander particularly effective for smaller panels, weldments, edges, contours, and confined work areas.

Ideal Applications:

• Automotive body repair and paint preparation
• Weld blending and cleanup
• Rust and oxidation removal
• Paint and coating removal
• Weld scale removal
• Panel blending and feathering
• Deburring and edge cleanup
• Metal fabrication finishing
• Surface preparation before welding or coating
• Tight spaces, contours, and detailed surface work
• Maintenance and repair operations

Built for Benchmark Abrasives Quick Change Discs

The Type R quick-change system turns this compact pneumatic sander into a versatile platform for Benchmark Abrasives consumables.

Choose Type R products in the matching 2" or 3" size, with both disc and holder rated for at least 15,000 RPM. Suitable categories include:

• Aluminum Oxide Quick Change Discs – General-purpose sanding, grinding, and surface preparation
• Zirconia Quick Change Discs – Aggressive grinding and extended life on metal
• Zirconia with Grinding Aid Quick Change Discs – Heavy-duty grinding where heat control and cutting performance matter
• Ceramic Quick Change Discs – High-performance stock removal and demanding grinding applications
• Surface Conditioning Discs – Blending, cleaning, finishing, and surface preparation
• Stripping Discs – Removing rust, paint, coatings, oxidation, and surface contamination
• Aluminum Stearate Quick Change Discs – Sanding applications where loading resistance is beneficial
• Mini Flap Discs – Grinding and blending with a flap-disc style cutting action

Material suitability depends on the specific abrasive being used. Match the consumable to the workpiece and application.

2" or 3" — Match the Disc to the Job

3" Quick Change Discs
Use the larger format when you want more surface coverage for panel work, weld blending, open-area grinding, coating removal, and general surface preparation.

2" Quick Change Discs
Switch to a compatible 2" Type R holder when you need more precision and access around tight corners, narrow areas, contours, and detailed fabrication.

Control the Cut with the Throttle

Not every surface-preparation job needs maximum speed. The responsive throttle gives the operator control over how aggressively the abrasive engages the workpiece.

Use lighter throttle input when you need more finesse for blending, feathering, or detailed finishing, then increase power when the job calls for faster rust removal, coating removal, grinding, or aggressive surface preparation. Keep discs and holders rated for at least 15,000 RPM regardless of throttle setting.

Why Choose the Pistol-Grip Design?

Natural hand position – The pistol-style body gives you a comfortable, controlled approach to panels, edges, welds, and detailed surfaces.

Better control under load – The textured grip helps keep the tool steady as pressure and abrasive resistance increase.

Fast abrasive changes – The Type R system lets you change consumables in seconds so you spend more time working and less time changing accessories.

Controlled material removal – The responsive throttle lets you adjust tool output to suit delicate blending or more aggressive grinding.

Compact access – The pistol configuration works especially well in smaller areas where a full-size grinder or larger sander becomes awkward.

2" and 3" versatility – Choose 3" discs for more coverage or switch to a compatible 2" setup when precision and access matter more.

One tool, multiple operations – Move from grinding and stripping to blending, cleaning, and finishing simply by changing the Benchmark quick-change consumable.

Accessory Compatibility

Use Type R Quick Change Discs with a properly matched holder.

• Standard disc diameter: 3"
• Optional disc diameter: 2" with a compatible holder
• Match the holder to the disc diameter
• Disc and holder ratings must meet or exceed 15,000 RPM
• Confirm the holder is securely and correctly mounted before operation
• Match the abrasive type and grit to the material and application
• Do not assume compatibility based on diameter alone; confirm the Type R connection, holder, mounting, and speed requirements

Safety Tips

• Do not exceed 90 PSI maximum operating air pressure.
• Always wear appropriate eye, face, hearing, hand, and respiratory protection.
• Use only Type R abrasives and holders suitable for the tool and application.
• Confirm the abrasive and holder are each rated for at least 15,000 RPM before use.
• Inspect the tool, holder, and abrasive before each operation.
• Make sure the quick-change disc is fully secured before starting the tool.
• Never use torn, cracked, damaged, or excessively worn abrasives.
• Allow the sander to reach operating speed before contacting the workpiece.
• Use the throttle smoothly and maintain control as speed increases.
• Maintain a secure grip and stable working position.
• Disconnect the air supply before changing abrasives, holders, or servicing the tool.
• Repetitive work, motion, and prolonged vibration exposure can contribute to hand, wrist, or arm injury.
• Use dry only.
