The 3M 7000118605 (Model 20324) is a professional-grade pneumatic random orbital sander designed to deliver exceptional performance and a swirl-free finish in high-production industrial environments where dust extraction is not required. This 6-inch non-vacuum dual action sander features a 5/16-inch orbit diameter for aggressive material removal on wood, metal, composites, fiberglass, and other substrates.
Powerful Performance:
- 0.28 HP precision-balanced motor operates smoothly at up to 12,000 RPM
- Requires 90 PSI operating pressure with 17 SCFM air flow
- 1/4-inch NPT air inlet for standard compressed air systems
- Pneumatic power provides hours of continuous use, exceeding electric sander capabilities
Engineered for Comfort and Durability:
- Ergonomic rubber grip featuring proprietary 3M Gripping Material
- Curved-throttle alloy steel lever with built-in wrist support
- Recessed lever platform eliminates pinch and pressure points
- Durable aluminum body with composite cover reduces cracked housings and downtime
- Low-profile, balanced design minimizes vibration and operator fatigue
- Internal muffler reduces noise levels during operation
Optimized for 3M Abrasives:
Includes 3M Stikit Disc Pad 20354 made of medium-density foam with a 45-degree tapered edge for optimal disc adhesion and quick, easy disc changes. Also compatible with 3M Hookit Disc Pads for use with Scotch-Brite Surface Conditioning Discs. The dual-action design rotates the abrasive disc in two simultaneous overlapping oval patterns, ensuring no single abrasive particle follows the same path twice for a professional, swirl-free finish even when sanding against the grain.
Applications:
Ideal for orbital sanding, woodworking, composite and advanced materials fabrication, metal preparation for paint, surface finishing, and general industrial material removal where precision and finish quality are critical.
