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.

• Precision-balanced steel workings and powerful air driven motors run smoothly with less vibration, ideal for high production industrial environments
• Improved durability, ergonomics and noise level maximize comfort and control for prolonged use
• Pneumatic power exceeds the capability of standard electric sanders, supplying hours of continual use
• Aluminum body and durable composite cover reduce cracked housings and downtime
