3M Random Orbital Sander Elite Series. 6" Diameter with 5/16" Orbit. No Vacuum.

Our 3M™ Elite Non-Vacuum Random Orbital Sanders combine durable, lightweight construction and operator ergonomics around a powerful precision-balanced motor for professional performance and a swirl-free finish, great for high-production industrial environments where dust extraction is not required. Built with 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.

Why Choose a Random Orbital Sander? 
3M™ 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.

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.
