Top 9 3M Vacuum Sander

Product Description

The 3M line of Self-Generated Vacuum Random Orbital Sanders (SGV) are air-powered and deliver professional performance and a swirl-free finish in high-production industrial environments where dust extraction is preferred. These high-quality tools are designed to optimize the performance of 3M Abrasives and incorporate 3M Clean Sanding Filter Bags for effective dust removal.

From the Manufacturer

3M Self-Generated Vacuum Random Orbital Sanders are manufactured with a durable lightweight aluminum housing, run smoothly, are comfortable to use and built to last. Use them with a wide selection of 3M abrasives and accessories.

3M SGV sanders are an integral part of the 3M Clean Sanding System made up of the SGV tool, Clean Sanding disc pad, and Clean Sanding disc, sold separately. Together these components are engineered to effectively eliminate dust from the workpiece and surrounding space. The SGV sander uses the inlet air to create its own venturi vacuum that extracts the 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.

3M Hookit Disc Pad Included for Optimal Performance

3M SGV sanders perform best when paired with 3M disc pads and abrasives. Designed specifically to optimize the performance of these tools, the disc pads maximizes dust extraction and minimizes vibration for smooth operation. The 3M proprietary hole pattern reduces swarf in the middle of the pad and increases disc performance and life. Offering convenience and versatility, the 3M Hookit system enables easy disc changeouts and allows operators to use Scotch-Brite Surface Conditioning Discs in addition to coated abrasive Hookit discs (both sold separately).

Why Choose a 3M Random Orbital Sander?

This family of random orbital sanders optimize sanding and surface preparation on wood, metal, fiberglass and composite materials, and many other substrates. Also known as dual action (D/A) palm 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, producing a random scratch and swirl-free finish ready for paint or varnish.

Product Description

3M Elite Orbital Sanders deliver professional performance for flat finishing and sealer sanding operations, hour after hour in high-production industrial environments. Options available in non-vacuum, central vacuum and self-generated vacuum models.

From the Manufacturer

The 3M™ Elite Air-Powered Orbital Sander 28527 delivers professional performance for flat finishing and sealer sanding operations hour after hour in high-production industrial environments where dust extraction is not required.

3M&#8482 Hookit&#8482 Disc Pad Included for Optimal Performance
Included with this sander is one 3M Hookit Clean Sanding Disc Pad 28531, recommended for flat sanding operations. Designed specifically to optimize the performance of this tool, the Clean Sanding pad provides some dust extraction and minimizes vibration for smooth operation. Offering convenience and versatility, the Hookit system enables easy grade changes using 3M Hookit Sheets in a range of grades (Hookit sheets sold separately).

Using Your Pneumatic Sander
This tool is intended to be operated as a handheld tool and is air-powered. It requires an air compressor that will provide a clean lubricated air supply with an airflow rate of 17 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM), or 481 liters per minute (LPM), and 90 pounds per square inch (psi) at the tool, i.e. the point where the air hose is connected to the tool, when the tool is running with the level fully depressed. Recommended is an approved 3/8 inch (10 mm) airline at the minimum length required for the application, with a maximum length of 25 feet (8 m). For more details about connecting the tool to your air supply, see the Instruction Manual. Max OPM is 10,000 at 90 psi.

Product Description

3M Elite Central-Vacuum-Ready Random Orbital Sanders deliver professional, dust-free performance along with a swirl-free finish, hour after hour in high-production industrial environments where dust extraction is required.

From the Manufacturer

3M Elite Central-Vacuum-Ready Random Orbital Sanders are best-in-class tools designed to optimize the performance of 3M abrasives. Built with a powerful, precision-balanced air-driven motors and durable lightweight aluminum housing, these ergonomically designed workhorses stand up to industrial production and reduce user fatigue for hours of comfortable operation.Elite central-vacuum-ready sanders can be connected to a central vacuum system or used with an external portable vacuum such as a shop vacuum. It has a threaded attachment feature that enables easy yet secure attachment and detachment of a 1″ external threaded vacuum hose (sold separately) to effectively eliminate dust from the workpiece and surrounding space.

High Performance, Superior Ergonomics
Designed with the operator in mind, 3M Elite Central-Vacuum-Ready Random Orbital Sanders are loaded with ergonomic features that decrease work strain and improve productivity.

Wrist and hand support

• Extended curved wrist rest reduces stress on hand and wrist and provides additional leverage
• Recessed lever platform eliminates pinch and pressure points on the operator’s palm
• Three grip sizes enable operator preference. The grip diameter on the tool is 2-3/4” with two additional grip sizes available (diameters of 2-1/2” and 3” sold separately)

Reduced vibration

• The rubber grip absorbs and reduces vibration and features 3M Gripping Material for a stronger grip and more control with less effort
• Durable composite cover extends to the base to absorb vibration and keeps tools in service by preventing cracked housings

Enhanced safety features

• Internal muffler protects operator hearing and will not break off
• Convenient thumb-controlled speed dial reduces inadvertent speed changes
