Collection: Dynabrade

Dynabrade has designed and manufactured portable abrasive power tools since 1969. Its headquarters and production are in Clarence, New York, and its European subsidiary is based in Luxembourg. The brand has specialised in one precise segment: the hand-held sanding, grinding and polishing tool for the workshop.

The 38 Dynabrade references in the catalogue

• Sanding: orbital and random orbital sanders from the NITRO range, air belt sander, angle sander, models with and without integrated extraction. See also our air orbital sanders.
• Grinding: die grinders and angle grinders, cut-off grinder, in air and electric versions. See our air die grinders.
• Polishing: rotary, orbital, right angle and extension polishers, with the DynaOne, DynaTwo and DynaQuick liquids and the DynaZero compound. See our polishing liquids.
• Extraction and accessories: Raptor-Vac air vacuum, NITRO industrial vacuum, backing pads and sanding interfaces.

Air or electric, how to choose

Dynabrade offers both drives on several of its machines, and the choice depends mostly on your workshop.

The air tool is lighter at equal power, it does not overheat in prolonged use and it copes with damp or dusty environments. It does however assume a properly sized compressed air system, with sufficient flow and dry air: a badly fed air tool loses its power and wears prematurely.

The electric tool plugs in anywhere and delivers steady torque whatever the available pressure. It suits mobile work and isolated stations with no air supply.

The extraction question

Several Dynabrade sanders exist in extracting and non-extracting versions. Extraction at source captures dust before it disperses, which protects the operator, extends abrasive life by preventing clogging, and improves visibility on the workpiece. In exchange it requires a perforated pad and a compatible perforated abrasive.
