About 3M Elite Self-Generated Vacuum Random Orbital

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 28529 delivers professional, dust-free performance for flat finishing and sealer sanding operations 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, this sander features a 1/8" orbit diameter ideal for flat surface finishing and sealer sanding, and a rectangular 2-3/4 x 7-3/4 inch (70 x 198 mm) pad that enables access to the corners of a workpiece. It is an excellent choice for sanding and surface preparation on wood, metal, fiberglass and composite materials, and many other substrates. 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 self-generated vacuum (SGV) sander is an integral part of the 3M™ Clean Sanding system made up of the SGV tool, Clean Sanding pad, and Clean Sanding sheets (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™ Clean Sanding Pad Included for Optimal Performance Included with this sander is one 3M Hookit Clean Sanding Pad 28531, recommended for flat sanding operations. Designed specifically to optimize the performance of this tool, the Clean Sanding pad enables 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
