A rotating circular disc attaches to a rotary motion abrading tool and converts the rotary motion to a random orbital motion. The disc has a center and has an axis of rotation that is off center and that forms a center of gravity. One embodiment of the disc is a backing plate. A second embodiment of the disc is a polishing pad. A third embodiment of the disc is a combination of a backing plate and a polishing pad.

An automated device for wood floor edge sanding has a chassis comprising a longitudinal slot and a motor slidably coupled to the longitudinal slot. Further, the device has a chain coupled about at least three sprockets, one sprocket coupled to a shaft of the motor such that when the motor is activated, the chain rotates about the sprockets and an edge sander coupled to the chain such that when the chain moves, the edge sander rotates ovally and it intermits travel laterally.

An orbital sander includes a housing, a drive unit within the housing having an electric motor defining a rotational axis, and a drive shaft coupled for co-rotation with the motor about the rotational axis having a fan rotatably coupled to the lower portion of the drive shaft. The fan includes a main body having a plurality of fan blades, an upper counterweight located on one side of the main body and a lower counterweight located on an opposite side of the main body for balancing the operation of the fan, and an interruption region located opposite the lower counterweight with fan blades located within the interruption region having a reduced mass. The orbital sander further includes a baseplate for selectively mounting a sanding sheet that is coupled to the lower portion of the drive shaft for orbital rotation about the rotational axis.

An electric sander motor includes a motor main body (100), a power axial shaft (210) and a sleeve (220). The motor main body (100) includes a rotor (110) and a stator (120) surrounding the rotor (110). The power axial shaft (210) includes an axial hole (211) extending along a central axis of the power axial shaft (210). The sleeve (220) includes one open end and another closed end extended outward to form an eccentric axial shaft (221) penetrating through the axial hole (211). A central axis of the eccentric axial shaft (211) is parallel with a central axis of the sleeve (220) and spaced apart therefrom. The power axial shaft (210) penetrates through the rotor (110), and the sleeve (220) is outside the motor main body (100). The assembly is facilitated by assembling the power axial shaft (210) and the sleeve (220) onto the motor main body (100) sequentially.

A surface processing device includes a machining mechanism and a driving mechanism driving the machining mechanism to polish a workpiece. The machining mechanism includes a machining assembly and a first transmission shaft eccentrically coupled with the machining assembly at a first end. The first transmission shaft rotates to bring the machining assembly into revolving around the first transmission shaft. The driving mechanism includes a motor connected to a second end of the first transmission shaft for outputting power to the machining mechanism. The surface processing device provides smooth machining without the noise of a pneumatically-powered tool.

A polishing tool includes a housing having a motor housing portion with a motor therein and a handle portion extending rearwardly therefrom, the motor housing portion having a tapered profile along a length of the motor housing the motor is positioned within, the motor housing portion defining a second width proximate a rear end of the motor housing portion and a third width, greater than the second width, adjacent a front end of the motor housing portion, a trigger proximate the handle portion and configured to selectively activate the motor, a battery pack coupled to the handle portion and configured to provide electrical power to the motor, and a backing plate coupled to the motor to receive torque therefrom, causing the backing plate to move in a rotating and/or orbiting manner. The motor housing portion includes a maximum width two times or less a maximum width of the handle portion.

An adjustable stroke mechanism has a housing with a central axis and a wall defining a cavity. At least one counterweight is movably disposed, at least partially, within the cavity. A mounting assembly is disposed, at least partially, within the cavity. The mounting assembly has a workpiece attachment mechanism. A stroke adjustor couples the at least one counterweight with the mounting assembly. The stroke adjustor enables the counterweight and mounting assembly to move with respect to one another such that a distance between the counterweight and the mounting assembly may be variably adjusted which, in turn, variably adjusts a stroke radius of the workpiece attachment mechanism with respect to the central axis of the housing.
