Compact design for optimum control
You’ve got optimum control of the tool while you’re sanding, thanks to this orbital sander’s extremely compact and lightweight design with a comfortable soft grip. This all-round sander is designed to reduce strain when sanding large surfaces like doors and tables, so it really makes your job easier. It’s also ideal during vertical sanding, such as when you’re sanding a fence. The ergonomic on/off switch on top of the orbital sander is easy to operate by both left- and right-handed users. The high-quality dust-sealed ball bearings make sure the dust is kept away from critical internal parts, increasing the tool’s lifetime.

Don’t you hate it when you need to clean up a lot of dust after sanding? The dust suction through the foot of the Skil 7338 enables you to keep your working environment cleaner. You can conveniently connect a standard-size vacuum cleaner to the integrated vacuum cleaner connection to suck up the dust through the ventilation holes in the foot.

Skil
It all started in 1921 when inventor Edmond Michel was standing in a sugar cane field in Louisiana, America. There, he saw the workers using machetes to hack their way by hand through the thick, tough sugar cane. It was a heavy, back breaking task. Seeing this, Michel thought there had to be an easier way. And that thought later led to the start of the Skil Corporation.
Later, in his workshop in New Orleans, he developed a mechanized machete. But to make the idea work, he saw that the blade somehow had to rotate. He soon started to improve on his first idea, and in 1923 he had developed the world’s first electric hand saw. A New Orleans newspaper covered his invention in a short feature article.
Joseph W. Sullivan, a farmland developer, read the article while he was traveling from Minneapolis to Florida. He thought it looked like a great idea, and went straight to New Orleans to track down Edmond Michel.
After further improvements of the electric handsaw, ‘The Michel Electric Handsaw Company’ was started in 1924 by Edmond Michel and Joseph W. Sullivan. They called their revolutionary saw the ‘Skilsaw’.
