Milwaukee 2531 M12 FUEL Orbital Detail Sander Review [1.5 MM Orbit]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 ноя 2022
- With just a 1.5mm orbit, this Milwaukee 2531 M12 FUEL Orbital Detail Sander works great for working in tight spaces and in crevices. You can select from 4 MAX speeds, and you can use the variable speed trigger to throttle the speed your desire for the application, up to 14,000 OPM. Along with 9 pieces of sandpaper, you also get an interface pad for sanding profiles, and a pad saver. The sandpaper and pads use hook and loop to secure to the sander. #milwaukeetool #sander #woodworking

Great video. I feel truely informed now. No lie, I've been a happy owner of the sander for a few weeks now. I have to admit that I thought that the trigger lock did something but didn't read the instructions and moved on. Also tossed the interface and guard pad on the shelf and forgot about them. Can't wait the head to the shop. Thanks again
I was trying to figure out why I would use the 2531 vs a Multi tool for detail sanding. The explanation and drawing of the sanding patterns for these tools was a perfect explanation! Thank you, great job.
Excellent review on this!
What a great detailed video. Can watch this on repeat!
I got this as its price dropped in December.
I got the kit, and thought it would sit in the box for a while.....I was wrong.
I've used it on three projects to get into the corners..... love it.
Love it and definitely getting one
Super good review. Cool tool.
I love that sander. I hope Milwaukee makes a 5 inch M18 fuel random orbital sander especially with an auto setting in the speed knob to automatically adjust the speed depending the amount of vibration in the sander handle and designed to work in harmony with their 6 gallon and up M18 fuel wet dry vacs.
Very detailed review,thks
Excellent review. I got mine. I want to try it now. 😊
I don't need this, but I do.
Exactly my thought 😆
I am currently thinking the same.
I feel like an M12 Multi tool makes this tool redundant.
@@KiranPatel-fk1pg does it come with a sanding attachment?
@@lukada83 Yes
Excellent review. I love it. Thank you. I am expecting my delivery tomorrow. Can't wait.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Great review!!! Just picked picked this kit up at Home Depot for 99 bucks with the 2.5 Ah battery.
Damn they trying to charge £150
In uk
A review that acually sands a detail instead of only a flat board. Thank you!
Glad we could help. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video as always! Now I’ve got to go buy a new tool damnit! If possible I would love to see a comparison test between the new CP2.5 and XC5.0 HO batteries versus the older CP3.0 and XC6.0. As an automotive technician I already know which batteries I’m going to buy I’m just curious how the older 3.0 and 6.0 non HO batteries compare in power and runtime to the new 2.5 and 5.0 HO batteries.
From working with other sanders, I understand the pad saver is mostly to keep the heat off of the main pad. Once you overheat that main pad, it is basically trash.
Only thing i wish was that they would’ve included a port for dust collection.
Yep the multitool has one.
Why do you always spend my money!😂. Seriously I was on the fence about this one, already had it in the cart at HD.
Im suprised no one complained that theres no dust collection on this sander. Ha. I love this little sander
Got one, love it. The replacment sandpaper is kinda expensive. Have you had any luck with cutting down sheets down to fit? If so what brand have you tried? (cost effective)
Amazing. I want one.
Just bought one. Awaiting delivery tomorrow. Spring is here. Lots of stuff to get done.
I could be wrong I just got this detail sander the other day at Home Depot I was under the impression that that pad was an adapter for the mesh sandpaper. and the actual pad that comes on the detail sander is for your standard hook and loop/velcro?. This way you can run traditional sandpaper or the mesh sandpaper. The interface pad I knew it was for getting into contours and small detail trim anything that may have a crevice or slight radius . But if that is the case that’s good to know
Just turned down about $2000 job on refinishing double wooden doors because of all the detail sanding on all the decorative detail trim. Just saw this tool at home of da po and checking out videos. Would have taken job if I had known about it. Did a double door with oscillating and 12v right angle die grinder to get into tight spots but I think this tool would work great for this!!
You didn’t want to use a corded detail sander?
@@ChrisBranleh Tried it, wasn't nimble enough and did not have a soft enough foam interface to get into detailed area for me. Have another door lined up and will try this tool and my 12v die grinder with medium and fine abrasive pads.
You sound like a straight chat gpt bot. No human talks like this
Does Milwaukee make a pointy sander that is able to capture the dust (Mouse Sander) if I hook up a vacuum - I like this but I need a vacuum attachment adapter.
If they included an accessory round pad I would definitely buy it.
I like it and love Milwaukee tools, but I'm concerned about the proprietary sandpaper shape.
i want the 4" orbital with m18 fuel
Can I use this to sand down paint from doors
On sale at Home Depot for 149.99 the kit
I wonder if it would be good for sanding small drywall repairs.
Of course it is. As primarily a painter/finisher I'm never hand sanding anything again.
I used my detail sander for 1 day and it made severe damage to my 6ah battery. I think it is the combo of leverage from the 6ah battery and the vibration. Milwaukee did not answer to my complaint. Does anyone else have this problem?
Does the tool come with the contour pad ?
I am waiting for the DA version
How long before battery dies ?
Battery life?
Would this be good for sanding yellowed headlights before polishing? Idk if they have 800 to 1200 in that shape but that would be better than hand sanding.
Cut a piece of 3m paper to fit this shape and then use that. It looks like hookit.
Keep an eye out for a 3d printed 3” da paper adapter
14:20 he shows you how to cut sandpaper to fit the tool.

Sanding headlights required water and constant wetting. Not sure this motor is waterproof.
Do they sell the pad savers for the multi tool sander as well?
I'm not sure. Thanks for watching.
What real advantage does this have to a corded model with dust collection for a third of the price?
Easier to work with faster to get working with it, corded in a garage or workshop is great but on a building site cables are a nuisance.
That got rid of those pencil marks faster than my Dewalt 5 inch sander that just broke on me. Turning it backwards trying to get a jammed piece out didn't help either.
wich one better compare with multitool
This one should leave a better finish than a multitool.
@@Griffinwoodworks oh thanks
👍🤘
What is the brand of sand paper you cut down

It’s a through review on all aspects but seems quite bias. I’m not so anal retentive that I have to own all of the same brand tools. I get what serves the function I need, has the best performance for the price, and multi functional helps as well.
With that said a review of a Milwaukee tool from a guy that owns a wall full of Milwaukee tools doesn’t make me feel like I would hear about any downfalls even if there were any.
However your video did provide me on the information I wanted on the tool which is why they called it a orbital sander. From videos I’ve seen where it was being used it seemed to have no motion what so ever which you clarified by saying it has a 1.5mm orbital path which I’m assuming is reduce pig-tailing. But with motions so tiny does it even matter what pattern it is in. At least with oscillating motions it can be matched with grain direction as with orbital there will always be 50% of the motion that goes against the grain. Assuming the grain is relatively straight which on some species it’s all over so it doesn’t matter regardless.
On the fence, the sand paper is about $1/piece
Cmon man 14:20 he shows you how to cut sandpaper to fit the tool.
So do we have to wait like 18 months before rigid gets one. Oh wait they murdered their 12 volt platform. All these 12 volt batteries in my collection and nothing to use them on.
Pads don’t last long at all if you’re working it even slightly hard on an edge or corner. For the price and the special shaped sand paper you have to buy. 4/10 from me.
As soon as the guy is counting sheets of paper, I know he's an inexperienced salesman not a craftsman.
Gonna start making silicone tongue tips for that and start making a killing promoting them to the ladies. 😂
