The new two-handed random orbital sander from diversified technology company 3M improves handling and toughness in applications where extra leverage and power is needed.

Designed to work with 3M’s Hookit abrasive discs, the sander comes ready to use with a low-profile backup pad to provide a smooth, consistent finish and greater operator comfort. It has two-handed functionality both with and without the removable side handle, with use of the handle being recommended for reduced vibration.

The sander has an impressive power-to-weight ratio and its 9.5mm orbit provides fast and efficient operation.

Paired with the 3M Hookit Disc 255P, the sander can be used for intermediate and final sanding on lacquered hard and soft wood, paints, solid surface materials and metal. With the 3M Hookit Disc 245 it tackles satin finishing and light deburring, and is suitable for use on wood, metal, paints, fillers and plastics.

3M’s Abrasive Systems Division offers a complete range of air-powered tools for cutting, grinding, blending and finishing. For further details, visit www.3M.co.uk/airtools.
