Product Overview:

Description

Keep your work surface lubricated by dancing a jig with our wet sander system. This 5-inch jitterbug wet sander is a heavy-duty, professional-quality tool designed for many years of reliable service. By attaching a hose that steadily feeds water to the sanding pad, you don’t need to constantly add water from a bottle or sprayer, giving you two hands to work with when sanding single-stage, clear coat or primer.

  • High efficiency sealed ball bearing
  • Low vibration operation
  • Precision die-cast housing
  • Variable speed control hand paddle

This wet jitterbug sander features a high-efficiency sealed ball bearing drive assembly for smooth low vibration operation and long life. The precision die-cast housing provides a solid foundation and offers ergonomic, one-handed operation. It works at speeds up to 8,000 RPM that are controlled by an infinitely variable hand paddle and rotary knob speed limiting control. Attach it to any ¼-inch FNPT inlet on your shop compressor for air-powered wet sanding made simple.

We offer a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee on our pneumatic jitterbug wet sanders. Learn the basics of wet sanding in our video below or watch this in-depth demonstration for more about how these tools and techniques help you Do the Job Right.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Jitterbug wet sander I have no clue how I managed without this. Love it!!!!!!!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not bad It worked great on the first job till the backing material came off. We were in the middle of the job so we used some gorilla glue to put it back together. I want to order another pad. Found it works better with the bucket of water higher than it, it flows better.

As the sanding disks are hook and loop, can I use any hook and loop sanding pads for wet sanding, or just Eastwood brand? I need to use 3000 grit.

Asked by: Tartan3000
Any 5" hook and loop pads with the holes in the surface for the water to pass through should work great.

If I needed to sand a ceiling would the water system still work of if I held the sander upside down?
