Titan Industrial Solutions · Formerly GEM Industries

The sander
that changes
the job.

Reduce labor by half or more.

One machine. Virtually any surface.

Titan Industrial Solutions now manufactures and supports the 11-inch orbital sander known for decades as the GEM orbital sander. Its balanced, hand-like motion sands, polishes, and finishes wood and solid-surface materials evenly.

Half the labor or better

The 11-inch pad covers more surface per pass.

Built to last

No gears, armature winding, or carbon brushes.

American built

Proudly built in the USA since 1956.

Dust control ready

Pair with the Titan collection shroud.

Virtually any surface

Sands, polishes, and finishes it all.

Let the machine’s
weight do the work.

Originally developed by GEM Industries and now carried forward by Titan, the machine’s orbital action follows the steady motion of hand finishing for smooth, uniform sanding and polishing.

The balanced counterweight keeps the machine running smoothly while the full 11-inch pad covers more surface. Guide it across the work and let the tool provide the pressure.

01
Balanced by design

Counterweighted orbital motion helps the tool glide across the surface without the swirl marks associated with high-speed rotary buffers.

02
Built for daily use

A heavy-duty motor and aluminum housing deliver dependable service without gears or carbon brushes.

03
Ready for the finish

The hook-and-loop drive system accepts common abrasives and finishing pads for sanding, polishing, and final finishing.

GEM’s legacy.
Titan’s future.

Titan Industrial Solutions acquired the GEM Industries orbital sander product line and is now the home for GEM-origin 11-inch orbital sanders, polishers, pads, abrasives, dust collection shrouds, and product support.

Customers who knew GEM Industries can continue to rely on the same American-built working-machine heritage—developed for professional polishing and later adapted for solid-surface and woodworking applications—now carried forward by Titan Industrial Solutions.
