Model 8650H - UltraFine Self-Gen VA Finishing Sander - 3/32" Offset with Hook Pad
Shopping Cart
Since the early 1970s, the Hutchins Model 4500 has been the gold standard in ultra-fine finishing. The 8650 builds on that heritage, delivering the same legendary balance, precision, and durability — now with a Self-Generated Vacuum (SGV) system for dust-free operation without an external vacuum source.
Like the 4500, the 8650 is balanced to such a fine degree it can be run with a single finger. Its chrome shroud and sturdy aluminum body dampen vibration to an ultra-low level, reducing fatigue over long sessions. For professionals already living with HAVS/white finger, this precision balance can mean the ability to continue working comfortably when other sanders would be impossible.
The SGV system draws dust directly into a collection bag, keeping the surface clear, the air cleaner, and the shop more productive. Equipped early, the 8650 protects not only your surfaces but your health and career for the long term.

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.
