Product Description ------------------- 3M Elite Random Orbital Sanders are an upgraded version of our original series random orbital sanders. These non-vacuum air powered sanders deliver professional performance and a swirl-free finish in high-production industrial environments where dust extraction is not required. Elite series palm sanders are loaded with upgraded features ed at durability, performance, and operator comfort. Improved wrist support increases comfort and leverage. A safer thumb-operated speed control wheel reduces accidental speed changes. The aluminum housing adds durability and reduces vibration, and the durable composite cover helps prevent cracked housings. The internal muffler makes this elite series pneumatic random orbital sander 6 dB quieter than the original series. A Stikit disc pad is included with this 3 inch random orbital sander, allowing the operator to quickly and easily apply adhesive-backed discs to the sanding tool. 3M pneumatic orbital sanders are designed to optimize the performance of 3M abrasives, with speed control and a low-profile, balanced design. 3/16” diameter orbit provides a moderate cut-rate and a fine finish on metal, composites, wood and more. Here’s what’s in the box: 3M Elite Random Orbital Sander, Stikit disc pad, air tool lubricant, and pad wrench. Operates at 90 psi with an air flow rate of 17 SCFM. From the Manufacturer --------------------- 3M engineers designed performance and ergonomics both into the 3M Elite Non-Vacuum Random Orbital Sanders, which are loaded with features to reduce vibration and noise and provide greater wrist support and operator comfort. The comfortable rubber grip featuring 3M Gripping Material, curved-throttle alloy steel lever, and built-in wrist support provide comfortable control, while the recessed lever platform eliminates pinch and pressure points on the operator’s palm. The speed control dial is conveniently located on the side and thumb-controlled. The lighter-weight tool has a composite cover that extends to the base to absorb and reduce vibration and keeps tools in service by preventing cracked housings, while the internal muffler helps reduce noise and won’t break off. 3M Elite Non-Vacuum Random Orbital Sanders optimize sanding and surface preparation on many surfaces, including wood, metal prep for paint, fiberglass and composite materials, and many other substrates. Also known as dual action (D/A) sanders, these industrial-grade tools rotate the abrasive disc and disc pad in two simultaneous overlapping oval patterns so no single abrasive particle follows the same path twice, resulting in a swirl-free finish, even when sanding against the grain. Pneumatic sanders are also called air sanders and run on power generated by an air compressor. Non-vacuum models such as these are not connected to a vacuum system and are used in applications where dust extraction is not a concern.
