Why Add Lighting to Your Sander?
Surface imperfections can be difficult to see under normal room or jobsite lighting. The LM-DTS places LED illumination directly at the working area so changes in the surface become easier to identify as you sand.
Especially useful for finish sanding, surface preparation and detailed work where visual inspection of the surface is important.
