Product Description 3M Elite Vacuum Random Orbital Sanders are an upgraded version of our original series vacuum sanders. These air-powered sanders deliver professional performance and a swirl-free finish in high-production industrial environments that require dust extraction. The 3M clean sand system eliminates dust from the workpiece and surrounding space to improve sanding performance. The sander uses the inlet air to create its own venturi vacuum that extracts dust and expels it through a wide collection port into the included clean sanding filter bag. Elite series palm sanders are loaded with upgraded features aimed 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. 3/16” diameter orbit provides a moderate cut-rate and a fine finish on metal, composites, wood and more. The included Hookit hook and loop disc pad allows the operator to quickly and easily apply and re-apply hook and loop discs to the sanding tool. Here’s what’s in the box: 3M Elite Vacuum Random Orbital Sander, Hookit clean sanding disc pad, clean sanding filter bag and bag adapter, hose seal, air tool lubricant, and 24mm pad wrench. Operates at 90 psi with an air flow rate of 17 SCFM. From the Manufacturer The 3M™ Elite Air-Powered Random Orbital Sander 28516 features a self-generated vacuum (SGV) and delivers professional dust-free performance and a swirl-free finish hour after hour in high-production industrial environments where dust extraction is required. A 3M best-in-class tool designed to optimize the performance of 3M™ abrasives, it features a 6" diameter for broader coverage, and a 3/16" orbit ideal for general purpose sanding. Built with a powerful precision-balanced 0.28 HP motor and durable lightweight aluminum housing, this ergonomically designed workhorse stands up to industrial production and reduces user fatigue for hours of comfortable operation. The Elite SGV sander is 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), engineered to effectively eliminate dust from the workpiece and surrounding space. It 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 3M™ 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 Designed with the operator in mind, 3M™ Elite Series 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. 3M™ Hookit™ Disc Pad Included for Optimal Performance Elite 3M sanders perform best when paired with 3M
