Chicago Pneumatic CP5080 Air Belt Sander

The Chicago Pneumatic CP5080 is a pneumatic belt sander designed for medium-duty material removal and finishing tasks. It operates on compressed air at 90 psi and delivers 0.4 hp through a fixed arm that accepts 1/2 in by 12 in belts. The offset grip and non-locking lever throttle provide controlled handling for automotive and metalworking applications.

Sustained operation at 150 SFPM

Under continuous use the tool maintains a belt speed of 150 SFPM while drawing 22 cfm at the required 90 psi supply pressure. The variable speed setting allows the operator to adjust the rate for different materials without losing torque during extended sanding sessions. Sound output reaches 93 dBA and vibration measures 2.5 vpm, reflecting the load placed on the air supply during prolonged runs.

Verify compressor capacity

Confirm that your compressor can deliver at least 22 cfm at 90 psi continuously, as lower flow will cause speed drop-off under load. The inlet requires a 1/4 in NPT connection and a minimum 1/4 in hose internal diameter to avoid excessive pressure loss. This model has no vacuum port, so dust extraction must be handled separately if required.

Questions about this item

How loud does the CP5080 get when running continuously at 90 psi?

The sander produces 93 dBA at the rated 90 psi operating pressure, so expect noticeable noise during all-day use.

What compressor capacity and hose do I need to feed the 22 cfm air consumption?

You need a compressor that can deliver at least 22 cfm at 90 psi through a minimum 1/4 in hose with a 1/4 in NPT inlet fitting.

Will the fixed arm and 1/2 x 12 in belt size fit my existing contact wheels and workpieces?

The arm is fixed and non-rotating, accepting only 1/2 in wide by 12 in long belts, so existing wheels must match those exact dimensions.
