Built for fine sanding across larger panels and finish-sensitive surfaces, the Ingersoll Rand R036C-C2 Premium Random Orbital Sander pairs a 6″ vinyl pad with a 3/32″ orbit for controlled surface preparation on wood, composites, fiberglass, sheet metal, and similar materials. Random orbital sanding action the pad moves in small overlapping motions rather than one fixed circular path helps reduce visible swirl patterns, while the fine 3/32″ orbit supports refinishing, primer prep, and final surface work where scratch pattern matters.Powered by a 0.3 HP motor with 13,000 RPM free speed, the R036C-C2 gives shops productive sanding speed in a compact pneumatic tool body. The 6″ pad size covers more surface per pass than 5″ models, making it useful for larger panels, doors, hoods, tabletops, and broad workpieces. This model is listed as vacuum ready, allowing connection to compatible dust extraction systems for particle removal during sanding, and includes manufacturer-listed 3.0 m/s vibration and 80.9 dB(A) sound pressure values for buyers comparing tool handling and workplace exposure data.Type: Random Orbital Sander | Series: Premium Random Orbital Sander | Model: R036C-C2 | Pad Size: 6″ / 152 mm | Pad Style: Vinyl | Orbit Diameter: 3/32″ / 2.5 mm | Max Free Speed: 13,000 RPM | Rated Power: 0.3 HP / 0.22 kW | Vacuum Ready: Vacuum Ready | Weight: 1.6 lb / 0.73 kg | Length: 6.69″ / 170 mm | Vibration: 3.0 m/s | Vibration Uncertainty K: 1.0 m/s | Sound Pressure: 80.9 dB(A) | Sound Power: 91.9 dB(A)Features:0.3 HP motor provides the sanding power needed for finish preparation, surface repair, and general material removal tasks.13,000 RPM free speed supports fast sanding action across common shop materials.3/32″ orbit helps produce a fine, swirl-free finish when surface quality is more important than aggressive stock removal.6″ vinyl pad provides broader coverage per pass than 5″ models, helping improve efficiency on larger work surfaces.Vacuum-ready configuration supports connection to compatible dust extraction systems for particle removal during sanding.Extended handle provides additional support and hinges up for access to the air inlet.Recessed paddle helps avoid pinch points, while the tucked-away regulator allows quick changes during use.Contoured housing and ultimate comfort grip support controlled handling during extended sanding sessions.Applications:Autobody and refinishing: Sanding larger panels, smoothing primer, feathering repaired areas, and preparing surfaces before paint.Woodworking and cabinet shops: Fine sanding on doors, tabletops, cabinet panels, furniture parts, and larger wood components.Composite and fiberglass work: Preparing molded parts, refining fiberglass panels, and finishing composite surfaces before coating.Metalworking and fabrication: Light surface cleanup, sheet metal finishing, and preparation of parts before paint or protective coating.Industrial maintenance and MRO: Repair, refurbishment, and surface-prep tasks where 6″ coverage and vacuum-ready operation help manage repeated sanding work.FAQs:Q: What is the R036C-C2 best used for?A: The R036C-C2 is best suited for fine sanding and finish preparation on larger surfaces. Its 6″ pad covers more area per pass than a 5″ model, while the 3/32″ orbit helps support a finer sanding pattern.Q: What is the difference between the R036C-C2 and R035C-C2?A: Both models use a 3/32″ orbit, vinyl pad, 13,000 RPM free speed, 0.3 HP motor, and vacuum-ready configuration. The R036C-C2 uses a 6″ pad for broader surface coverage, while the R035C-C2 uses a 5″ pad for smaller areas and tighter control.Q: What does the 3/32″ orbit mean?A: Orbit diameter describes the size of the pads sanding motion. A 3/32″ orbit creates a finer scratch pattern than larger-orbit models, making it useful for primer prep, refinishing, wood finishing, and surfaces where visible swirl marks need to be minimized.Q: Is the R036C-C2 self-generating vacuum?A: No. The R036C-C2 is listed as vacuum ready, meaning it is intended to connect to a compatible external dust extraction or vacuum system. For a self-generating 6″, 3/32″ orbit vinyl-pad model, review the R036C-S2.Q: Does this model use hook-and-loop abrasive discs?A: No. The R036C-C2 is listed with a vinyl pad. For the 6″, 3/32″ orbit Premium model with a hook-and-loop pad, review the R036C-C2-HL version. body{margin:0;padding:0;overflow-x:hidden;} .spec-accordion{width:100%;max-width:1100px;margin:1em
