A hand-sized replacement for large sanders and polishers
Big Benefits for Small Area Repair Strong, light and easy to use, the 3M™ Elite Series Mini Orbital Sander is an air-powered hand sanding tool that's ideal for repairing small defects in small painted areas. It measures approx. 4" x 7-1/2" and weighs just over 1 lb., a versatile hand-sized replacement for larger air sanders and polishers. Its 1-1/4" diameter backup pad and 1/8" orbit uses smaller abrasive discs and allows you to sand in very specific or hard-to-reach areas, allowing you to remove nibs and other defects without sanding the entire panel — a process that can become inefficient in environments such as collision repair shops, where panels can be quite large and require extra abrasives, compounds and polishes.
Power in the Palm of Your Hand The Elite Series Mini Orbital Sander includes several updates that make it a true powerhouse for small area repair. It features precision-balanced steel workings and a .48 HP (357 W) motor capable of up to 8000 RPM standard operation. The lightweight aluminum body and durable composite cover combine with strengthened vanes and an improved skirt attachment for extra balance and reduced vibration. This nearly eliminates downtime caused by cracked housings. The handle is covered in our exclusive 3M™ Gripping Material for greater comfort. And a custom trigger lever gives technicians maximum control for consistently excellent results in areas that require fine-grade precision.
Roloc™ attachment locks discs securely in place
Easy Roloc™ Attachment The Elite Series Mini Orbital Sander accepts the direct-mount 1-1/4" 3M™ Roloc™ pads which allow you to operate the sander very close to the work surface for more precise control. The pad features a threaded button that lets you securely attach and remove it with a simple twist-off, twist-on motion. This quick and convenient attachment method requires no tools and saves significant time on collision repair jobs.
Trizact™ Abrasives This mini sander is part of the Trizact™ Finesse-It™ Paint Repair System which puts Trizact™ abrasives at your fingertips. For more predictable finishes and improved, consistent quality, 3M™ Trizact™ products feature microreplication — small 3-dimensional structures are reproduced uniformly over the surface of the abrasive. These patterned, precise mineral structures contain multiple layers of abrasive mineral. As the structures wear, fresh, sharp mineral is exposed. The result is that the abrasive cuts faster, allows for precise finish control, and stays sharper longer — operators can even reduce grade sequences during collision repair, requiring fewer process steps and fewer abrasive products.
