Model 8660H - UltraSmooth VA Material Removal - 3/16" Offset with Hook Pad
Shopping Cart
For professionals who want faster material removal without sacrificing Hutchins balance or comfort, the Model 8660 is the answer. Built on the 4560 platform, this Self-Generated Vacuum variation combines an aggressive 3/16" offset with dust-free operation — no external vacuum required.
The 8660 is powered by Hutchins’ air-efficient motor and Positive-Action Drive, supported by a 4-bearing system and oversized drive head that keep the pad in full, steady contact. That means faster feathering, leveling, and detailing with smooth control — and dust captured at the source.
Like all random orbitals in the 4500-family, the 8660 is engineered with ultra-low vibration. Its sturdy aluminum body and flex-cover grip help reduce strain, while the optional #1839-1 handle further dampens vibration transfer and adds control. For operators dealing with HAVS/white finger, this balance can make the difference between being able to keep working or not.

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.
