Every good refinisher knows that the key to achieving a fantastic paint finish is first class preparation. But with bodyshop job margins becoming ever tighter, achieving perfect preparation in less time has never been more important.

This is one of the reasons why more and more bodyshops around Ireland are choosing the Mirka DEOS electric orbital sander as their key preparation tool. Its high efficiency brushless motor delivers or the power required to complete jobs more quickly, but the DEOS is also compact and easy to handle, with a very low profile of just 101 mm high meaning it is easy to manoeuvre it tight spaces. This means it can offer fast, precise and efficient sanding performance. Mirka says that the DEOS allows the operative to get closer to, and get a real feel for the surface being sanded, and so it can deliver a completely new level of electric sanding, where-by once you have used the DEOS you will never want to go back to hand sanding again. It also offers a convenient and economical alternative to air operated sanding tools.

As well as delivering great performance the DEOS is also ergonomically designed to ensure that the sander can be used comfortably for long periods without fatigue. Showing its concern for operative health and safety, the DEOS is also equipped with an integrated vibration sensor and Bluetooth low energy technology. This allows the sander to be connected to the myMirka app which can monitor sander speed and vibration and calculate vibration exposure, so that the user can eliminated any potentially harmful effects.

The Mirka DEOS is available both as a stand-alone electric tool, or as part of a complete sanding system.
