Guides for this model
Explore controls, comparisons and documentation for this exact model.
- Old-wood hardware inspection
Follow a reclaimed shelf across faces, edges, joints and bracket backs, then separate removable fittings from unresolved hardware.
- Milwaukee sander identities
For open broad surfaces, consider the 2648-20 first. For grain-parallel refinement near straight boundaries and a quarter-sheet workflow, examine the 2649-20. Neither should be tipped onto an edge to dig into corners.
- Match your sander manual
A familiar brand and colour are only a start. Match body, market, document revision and task section before keeping a file for your machine.
- 2649-20 paper clamps and punch
Fit 4.5×5.5-inch paper using the front clamp and side-operated rear clamp, with approximate metric dimensions, supplied punch alignment and final acceptance.
