Built for fine sanding on larger panels, broad workpieces, and finish-sensitive surfaces, the Ingersoll Rand R036C-S2 Premium Random Orbital Sander pairs a 6″ vinyl pad with a 3/32″ orbit for controlled surface preparation. Random orbital sanding action the pad moves in small overlapping motions instead of one fixed circular path helps reduce visible swirl patterns, while the fine 3/32″ orbit supports primer prep, refinishing, wood finishing, composite work, and fiberglass surface preparation.The R036C-S2 uses a 0.3 HP motor and 13,000 RPM free speed to provide productive sanding speed across common shop materials. Its 6″ pad size covers more area per pass than 5″ models, making it useful for hoods, doors, panels, tabletops, fabricated sheets, and other larger surfaces. This Premium Random Orbital Sander is supplied in a self-generating vacuum configuration, identifying it as a dust-control version within the family. Manufacturer-listed 3.0 m/s vibration and 80.9 dB(A) sound pressure provide useful comparison points for shops evaluating tool handling and workplace exposure data.Type: Random Orbital Sander | Series: Premium Random Orbital Sander | Model: R036C-S2 | 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 Configuration: Self-Generating | Weight: 1.8 lb / 0.82 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 sanding power for finish preparation, surface repair, and general material removal tasks.13,000 RPM free speed supports fast sanding action across wood, composites, fiberglass, sheet metal, and similar 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 panels and flat surfaces.Self-generating vacuum configuration supports dust-collection setups 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 large panels, smoothing primer, feathering repaired areas, and preparing surfaces before paint.Woodworking and cabinet shops: Fine sanding on doors, cabinet panels, tabletops, furniture parts, and broad wood surfaces using a 6″ abrasive format.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 self-generating vacuum operation help manage repeated sanding work.FAQs:Q: What is the R036C-S2 best used for?A: The R036C-S2 is 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 produce a finer scratch pattern.Q: What does self-generating mean on this sander?A: The manufacturer identifies this model as the self-generating version in the Premium Random Orbital Sander family. Confirm the required dust-collection accessories before publishing or ordering, since the flyer does not list included hose, bag, or collection components.Q: What is the difference between the R036C-S2 and R036C-C2?A: Both models use a 6″ vinyl pad, 3/32″ orbit, 13,000 RPM free speed, 0.3 HP motor, 6.69″ length, 3.0 m/s vibration, and 80.9 dB(A) sound pressure. The R036C-S2 is the self-generating version, while the R036C-C2 is listed as vacuum ready.Q: When should I choose a 3/32″ orbit?A: Choose a 3/32″ orbit when finish quality is the priority. The smaller sanding motion helps minimize visible swirl marks and supports fine finishing, primer prep, and finish-sensitive surface work.Q: Does this model use hook-and-loop abrasive discs?A: No. The R036C-S2 is listed with a vinyl pad. For a 6″, 3/32″ orbit Premium model with a hook-and-loop pad and self-generating vacuum configuration, review the R036C-S2-HL version. body{margin:0;padding:0;overflow-x:hidden;}
