DeWalt DCW230N-XJ 18V XR 150mm Random Orbital Sander - Body Only

The DeWalt DCW230N-XJ 18V XR 150mm Random Orbital Sander is a powerful cordless sanding solution designed for fast material removal, efficient surface preparation and controlled finishing across larger work areas.

Powered by DeWalt's 18V XR battery platform, the DCW230N combines cordless convenience with a high-performance brushless motor for excellent runtime, durability and consistent power delivery.

Its large 150mm sanding pad works together with an aggressive 5.0mm orbit diameter, making the sander particularly effective when flattening large surfaces, removing material quickly or preparing timber, painted surfaces and other materials for finishing.

The specially designed zinc alloy body casting helps balance the weight of an attached battery, allowing the machine to remain stable and controlled during use. Combined with an upgraded fan and advanced dual-plane counterbalance system, the design helps minimise vibration and reduce fatigue during prolonged sanding applications.

Variable speed control allows the sanding speed to be adjusted between 8,000 and 12,000 OPM, giving the user greater control when working with different materials, abrasives and surface finishes.

For improved dust management, the DCW230N includes an integrated dust extraction system and is equipped with Wireless Tool Control (WTC). This allows the sander to connect wirelessly with compatible dust extractors so extraction can activate automatically when the tool is switched on.

The 150mm multi-hole hook and loop backing pad makes fitting and replacing sanding discs quick and straightforward, while dust-sealed components help protect the tool against fine dust ingress and support long-term durability.

The DeWalt DCW230N-XJ is supplied as a body-only machine, making it an ideal choice for users who already own compatible DeWalt 18V XR batteries and chargers.
