Milwaukee 6033-21 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size sandpaper does the Milwaukee 6033-21 palm sander take?
The 6033-21 takes standard quarter-sheet (1/4 in.) sandpaper, so a full 9 x 11 sheet cut in four feeds it. Sticking to stock quarter sheets means you can buy abrasive anywhere and keep a range of grits on the truck instead of hunting a proprietary pad.
2) Is a quarter-sheet palm sander or a random orbit sander the right choice for finish work?
A quarter-sheet palm sander like the Milwaukee 6033-21 has a square pad, so it gets into corners and up against trim edges where a round random-orbit pad cannot reach. It is built for fine finish sanding, not heavy stock removal. If you are flattening wide panels or hogging material off fast, a random orbit sander does that better. For pre-finish smoothing, paint and varnish removal, and prep before stain or sealer, the square pad is the one you want.
3) Can the Milwaukee 6033-21 sander be run one-handed on cabinetry and trim?
Yes. The 6033-21 uses a low-profile palm-grip housing sized to sit in one hand, which leaves your other hand free to steady the workpiece or hold a vac hose. That is the point of the form factor for trim, molding, and cabinet work, where you are often sanding a part that is not clamped down.
4) What is the Milwaukee part number for the 1/4 sheet palm sander, and what does the kit number mean?
The manufacturer part number is 6033-21. Milwaukee's -21 suffix denotes a kitted corded tool rather than a bare unit. If you are matching a tool already in the shop or standardizing a crew, 6033-21 is the number to quote.
5) Will a 1/4 sheet palm sander strip paint, or do I need something more aggressive?
Paint and varnish removal is one of the stated uses for the Milwaukee 6033-21, and with coarse grit on a quarter sheet it will take coatings off trim, sash, and smaller painted surfaces. It is a finishing sander though, not a stock-removal machine, so for stripping large painted siding runs or heavily built-up coatings you will move faster with a belt sander or a larger orbital.
