Our line of 3M Elite Self-Generated Vacuum Random Orbital Sanders are 3M best-in-class tools designed to optimize the performance of 3M abrasives. Built with a 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.
Wrist and hand support
The Elite SGV sander is an integral part of the 3M Clean Sanding System made up of the SGV tool, Clean Sanding disc pad, and Clean Sanding disc (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 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.
- 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
- 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
- Internal muffler protects operator hearing and will not break off
- Convenient thumb-controlled speed dial reduces inadvertent speed changes
3M Elite sanders perform best when paired with 3M disc pads and abrasives. Designed specifically to optimize the performance of these tools, the disc pad maximizes dust extraction and minimizes vibration for smooth operation. The 3M proprietary hole pattern reduces swarf in the middle of the pad and increases disc performance and life. Offering convenience and versatility, the 3M Hookit system enables easy disc changeouts and allows operators to use Scotch-Brite discs in addition to coated abrasive Hookit discs (both sold separately).
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.3M Elite Model Features
The 3M Elite Self-Generated Vacuum Random Orbital Sander, model 28513, offers professional-grade performance with a 3 in x 3/32 in orbit size. This model is designed to deliver dust-free sanding with a swirl-free finish, ideal for industrial use.
Built with a powerful air-driven motor and precision-balanced steel workings, the 28513 model ensures smooth operation with less vibration. Its aluminum body and composite cover reduce cracked housings and downtime, making it a reliable choice for demanding tasks.
Orbit Size And Dimensions
The sander features a 3 in diameter and a 3/32 in orbit, providing the right balance for effective surface preparation. These dimensions allow for efficient sanding on wood, metal, fiberglass, and composite materials.
Its compact size supports detailed work while maintaining high production rates. The 3 in x 3/32 in orbit helps produce a random scratch pattern, resulting in a swirl-free finish ready for painting or varnishing.
Pack Count And Convenience
This product comes as a single unit per case, making it easy to manage inventory and order quantities. The 1 ea/Case packaging suits both individual users and small-scale industrial operations.
The included 3M Hookit Disc Pad enhances performance by maximizing dust extraction and minimizing vibration. This system supports easy disc changes and compatibility with Scotch-Brite discs, adding versatility to the tool.
Self-Generated Vacuum System
The sander’s self-generated vacuum (SGV) system uses inlet air to create a venturi vacuum that extracts dust directly from the work surface. This feature eliminates the need for a vacuum hose and improves operator ease of use.
Dust is collected in HEPA-rated Clean Sanding Filter Bags, which lock dust away for safe disposal. This system helps maintain a cleaner work environment and protects the operator from airborne particles.
Ergonomics And Control Benefits
Designed for comfort, the sander includes an extended curved wrist rest and a recessed lever platform to reduce hand and wrist stress. These ergonomic features help decrease fatigue during prolonged use.
The rubber grip with 3M Gripping Material absorbs vibration and enhances control. Combined with a durable composite cover, these features prevent cracked housings and extend tool life in tough industrial settings.
