How The Shipp Orbital Sander Compares To Other Floor Sander Options

Why The Shipp Orbital Sander Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just a floor sander, it's engineered to deliver the highest combination of down pressure and RPM in the industry while running quieter than any other high-speed orbital floor machine on the market.

The Shipp 545413.SHP specifically addresses the needs of flooring contractors and refinishing crews who need serious sanding performance without the excessive noise that typically comes with high-RPM equipment.

Unmatched Speed, Unmatched Quiet. At 3530 RPM, this sander delivers top-of-class down pressure and speed, yet stays below 64 dBA, making it over 65% quieter than the nearest competition, a rare combination that lets crews work faster without the ear-splitting noise typical of high-performance sanders.

Built For Operator Convenience

Instant handle adjustment from the operator position eliminates the need for knobs or awkward levers common on other machines

Optional HEPA dust control system is available for jobs requiring stricter dust containment

A 50 ft. cord provides extended reach across larger rooms without constant repositioning

Engineered For Consistent Performance

Units come standard with or without a weight kit, allowing the machine to be configured for the job at hand

The 20 in. x 14 in. pad covers more surface area per pass than smaller round pads

A 1.5 HP, 115V motor delivers the power needed to maintain high RPM under load

Real Savings

Quieter operation reduces the need for hearing protection compliance measures and complaints on occupied job sites

Instant handle adjustment saves setup time compared to machines requiring tools or awkward lever adjustments

Higher RPM and down pressure combination can reduce the number of passes needed to achieve a finished result

Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately

The Bottom Line Flooring contractors and refinishing crews who need serious sanding performance without disruptive noise levels can't afford a machine that sacrifices one for the other. The Shipp 545413.SHP is built with industry-leading down pressure, high RPM, and noise levels below 64 dBA, so it delivers fast, quiet performance on any job. For anyone refinishing floors in noise-sensitive or occupied buildings, this is the sander built to get the job done right.
