Overview
The Craftsman CMEW213 is a corded electric sander drawing 7 amps and running at 800 RPM, weighing 6.64 pounds. It sits in Craftsman's power tool line for surface prep and stock removal work.
No seller description accompanies this listing, so specifics like pad or belt size, dust collection, or included accessories go unconfirmed. The documented numbers, a 7 amp motor and 800 RPM operating speed, point to a corded sander built for sustained material removal rather than a light finishing tool.

Who it's for
Suited to users who want a corded sander with a 7 amp motor for regular shop use and do not need cordless portability. Buyers wanting a lightweight orbital finishing sander for occasional touch-up work may find this heavier and more powerful than needed.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 7 amp motor for sustained sanding work
- Corded power avoids battery runtime limits
- No seller description covering pad size or included accessories
- At 6.64 pounds, heavier than compact finishing sanders
Performance notes
A 7 amp corded motor keeps output steady through long sanding passes without the runtime limits of a battery tool, while 800 RPM sets the pace at which the abrasive surface works the material. At 6.64 pounds it has enough mass to stay planted on a workpiece but will tire an arm faster than a smaller finishing sander over long sessions.
