Model 4560H - UltraSmooth Material Removal - 3/16" Offset with Hook Pad
Shopping Cart
For professionals who want to work faster without sacrificing surface quality, the Hutchins Model 4560 delivers. Built on the same proven platform as the 4500, this model uses a more aggressive 3/16" offset to remove material quicker, while still producing smooth, controlled finishes.
Like the 4500, the 4560 is engineered with ultra-low vibration balance. Its sturdy aluminum body further dampens vibration, and the flex-cover grip reduces finger strain in long sessions. For those already living with Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS/white finger), the 4560 can make it possible to continue working comfortably when other sanders are unmanageable. Equipping yourself with Hutchins finishing sanders early also means protecting your hands and career for the long term.
Powered by Hutchins’ air-efficient motor and Positive-Action Drive backed by a 4-bearing system, the 4560 drives an oversized head that ensures full pad contact with zero wobble. A built-in pad release system makes abrasive changes quick, while the optional #1839-1 handle provides even greater vibration isolation and control.
Choose the 4500 if your priority is ultra-fine finishing with a 3/32" offset. Choose the 4560 if you want faster material removal with a 3/16" offset while still maintaining finishing capability. Together, they’re the matched pair trusted by professionals for comfort, control, and lasting performance.

Water/Wet Sanders
- Ideal for finishing and more delicate processing where heat is a concern. Also used to assist in dust control where vacuum systems are unavailable or unreasonable to equip.
- Our Water Sanders are equipped with a Patented "Thru-the-Pad" distribution system that enables a steady, regular flow of water to your surface. Most Models are equipped with a filtered 'water bell' that can be dropped into any source of clean water (like a 5-gallon bucket).
Speed Files
- Good for careful planing or finishing up blocking stages where you want that extra bit of control over your contours.
- Extremely popular is our PF-16 which is made from a firm plastic frame. Many customers like the rigid structure that gives just the perfect amount of flex when required.
- The AF-16 was featured in the movie, Shawshank Redemption in the last scene when Andy Dufrene sands his boat on the beach in Baja California.
