3M™ Elite Self-Generated Vacuum Random Orbital Sander, 28511, 3 in x 3/16 in Orbit, 1 ea/Case

3M™ Elite Self-Generated Vacuum Random Orbital Sanders are 3M's top-of-the-line tools designed to enhance the performance of 3M™ abrasives. These sanders are equipped with powerful, precision-balanced air-driven motors and lightweight aluminum housing, making them durable and ideal for industrial production. The ergonomic design of these sanders reduces user fatigue, allowing for hours of comfortable operation. The Elite SGV sander is a crucial component of the 3M™ Clean Sanding System, which includes the SGV tool, Clean Sanding disc pad, and Clean Sanding disc (sold separately). This system is engineered to eliminate dust from the workpiece and surrounding area. The sander uses the inlet air to create its own venturi vacuum that extracts dust from the work surface and expels it through a wide collection port on the back of the tool into a filter bag. The 3M™ Clean Sanding Filter Bag included with the tool achieves superior HEPA-rated dust collection with an air filter inside the bag that locks dust away and effectively retains it for disposal. High Performance, Superior Ergonomics The 3M™ Elite Series Random Orbital Sanders are designed with the operator in mind. These sanders are loaded with ergonomic features that decrease work strain and improve productivity. The extended curved wrist rest reduces stress on the hand and wrist and provides additional leverage. The recessed lever platform eliminates pinch and pressure points on the operator's palm. The rubber grip absorbs and reduces vibration and features 3M™ Gripping Material for a stronger grip and more control with less effort. The durable composite cover extends to the base to absorb vibration and keeps tools in service by preventing cracked housings. The internal muffler protects operator hearing and will not break off. The convenient thumb-controlled speed dial reduces inadvertent speed changes. 3M™ Hookit™ Disc Pad Included for Optimal Performance 3M™ Elite sanders perform best when paired with 3M™ disc pads and abrasives. The disc pad is designed specifically to optimize the performance of these tools, maximizing dust extraction and minimizing vibration for smooth operation. The 3M proprietary hole pattern reduces swarf in the middle of the pad and increases disc performance and life. The 3M™ Hookit™ system enables easy disc changeouts and allows operators to use Scotch-Brite™ discs in addition to coated abrasive Hookit discs (both sold separately). Why Choose a Random Orbital Sander? 3M™ random orbital sanders are ideal for sanding and surface preparation on wood, metal, fiberglass, composite materials, and many other substrates. These industrial-grade tools rotate the abrasive disc and disc pad in two simultaneous overlapping oval patterns, producing a random scratch and swirl-free finish ready for paint or varnish.
