3M™ Elite Mini Orbital Sander, 28737, 1-1/4 in, 1 ea/Case

The 3M™ Elite Series Mini Orbital Sander is a lightweight and strong air-powered hand sanding tool that is perfect for repairing small defects in small painted areas. It measures approximately 4" x 7-1/2" and weighs just over 1 lb. This versatile hand-sized replacement for larger air sanders and polishers has a 1-1/4" diameter backup pad and 1/8" orbit that uses smaller abrasive discs. This allows you to sand in very specific or hard-to-reach areas, removing nibs and other defects without sanding the entire panel. This process can be inefficient in environments such as collision repair shops, where panels can be quite large and require extra abrasives, compounds, and polishes.

The Elite Series Mini Orbital Sander is a true powerhouse for small area repair. It features precision-balanced steel workings and a .48 HP (357 W) motor capable of up to 8000 RPM standard operation. The lightweight aluminum body and durable composite cover combine with strengthened vanes and an improved skirt attachment for extra balance and reduced vibration. The handle is covered in an exclusive 3M™ Gripping Material for greater comfort. And a custom trigger lever gives technicians maximum control for consistently excellent results in areas that require fine-grade precision.

The Elite Series Mini Orbital Sander accepts direct-mount 1-1/4" 3M™ Roloc™ pads which allow you to operate the sander very close to the work surface for more precise control. The pad features a threaded button that lets you securely attach and remove it with a simple twist-off, twist-on motion. This quick and convenient attachment method requires no tools and saves significant time on collision repair jobs.

This mini sander is part of the Trizact™ Finesse-It™ Paint Repair System which puts Trizact™ abrasives at your fingertips. 3M™ Trizact™ products feature microreplication, which means small 3-dimensional structures are reproduced uniformly over the surface of the abrasive. These patterned, precise mineral structures contain multiple layers of abrasive mineral. As the structures wear, fresh, sharp mineral is exposed. The result is that the abrasive cuts faster, allows for precise finish control, and stays sharper longer. Operators can even reduce grade sequences during collision repair, requiring fewer process steps and fewer abrasive products.

The 3M™ Elite Series Mini Orbital Sander is an excellent addition to complete paint repair systems. Select 3M abrasives, pads, and polishes developed specifically for small area repair. These include the Trizact™ Finesse-It™ Paint Repair System, which allows you to remove imperfections and polish fine sanding scratches in just two simple steps. The mini sander is also a terrific option for added capabilities to the 3M™ Paint Defect Removal Hand Sanding System, featuring small, handheld abrasives and blocks for fast and efficient paint nib and defect removal.

The Elite Series Mini Orbital Sander is another example of how 3M applies science to life. With its exclusive features and design that makes it integral to our advanced small area paint repair systems, this mini sander is another key to consistently improving your efficiency, throughput, and value as you prepare painted surfaces.
