User questions & answers

Question:	the stickit sanding block, per the amazon picture shows this item with "sanding paper" and yet it does not come with sanding paper, that false ad
Answer:	Sorry, no, it doesn't come with a case. It does come with a sanding belt though.
Question:	Are there 6 of the block or only
Answer:	I used my workmate bench to clamp the sander into place and use it upside down, locking the unit into the "on" position. It wasn't totally horizontal, but worked like a charm and exceeded my expectations. That said, the sander is super noisy, so doing this for an extended period of time drew some piercing looks from my neighbors.
Question:	I bought a Handy Stikit Sanding Block for finish sanding with 220 weight paper. I can know longer find this product. Why
Answer:	Most sander paper of this type will fit just about any palm sander. It may overlap I a bit that's fine

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this picture match the product? Or is the product black instead of purple? The new black ones are inferior
Answer:	No Demel needed. It's a saw all on its own, pretty handy too.
Question:	how to load sandpaper
Answer:	This is a nice saw to begin with. I started out with this one and then moved up to a 16" variable speed saw. I like the moto for small projects and such so I'm keeping it around for a back up and for making ornaments and other small crafts. I have made beautiful things on this saw but it only has a 9" throat so if you decide to make a big project, you will need to cut your projects in sections. That's how I did some of my intarsia pieces. Small puzzles are nice to cut out on this saw. I cut a bear puzzle and one thing I do like is that you don't really have to fuss with blade tension. The saw will do that by itself. Just put in the blade and turn the blue handle on the arm and it will give the right tension. I wish my big saw would do that and on the big saw you have to watch how you saw because the slightest side pressure can cause sort of a bevel cut where you don't want one. Moto saw is very good on the sawing. Ply wood and Baltic birch is a good wood to use on this saw, but hard woods are slow going. Never try to force the wood into the blade as that will cause it to break. Good luck in deciding on a saw. Have a great day Fay
Question:	Where do you get more of this exact sandpaper? I’ve searched by everything I can think of and no results. It lasts so much longer
Answer:	Depends on how big the table is. This sander is designed to remove a lot of wood. If the table has a wood veneer, you will want to use a less powerful sander.
Question:	Anybody know how to use standard sandpaper in this tool or where to get replacement foam-backed paper
Answer:	It's not too noisy. I'd say it's medium-low on the noise scale. And if you're using the sander for a large project, it'll have to be constantly emptied. The bag is on the smaller side.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used to wet polish marble to a mirror finish ? how slow (rpm) can this be usefully run
Answer:	This grinder is highly updated from the old model the led light and able to charge it from a phone charger makes it a convenient product.
Question:	I see that this uses 17 cfm. does it use the same volume of air at lower speeds than the 12000 rpm? for example 25% of air at 25% speed
Answer:	I received mine rather quickly even though it said up to 2 weeks.
Question:	questions? size of backing plate....can it be used on cars
Answer:	The speed of the e-file is controlled with a knob on the base of the machine. The foot control is basically a on/off switch, even though you don’t have to use the foot control at all because there is also a on/off control on the base as well. So I guess whatever you’re comfortable with and since I figured out I didn’t need the foot control to use the machine, I haven’t used it since.
Question:	Can i use mirka 23-388-220 5" 220 grit no-hole adhesive sanding discs on this sander? thanks
Answer:	I love it almost like the ones at salon, the speed u can control on hand or foot padel I love it. Its minimum to max speed u adjust. It's worth my purchase.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this sander come with sandpaper
Answer:	Yes, there is the foam.
Question:	Female senior citizen here, slightly arthritic. I'm having problems opening and holding the clips open. Is there a way to listen the grip a little
Answer:	The product dimensions given are correct about 3 1/8 wide x just under 9 1/2 long. So, it is 1/3 sheet not 1/2 sheet. I don't see the 1/2 sheet in the listing though.
Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	Yes.
Question:	Where are the sheets that go with this product
Answer:	Actually bought this with great anticipation and expectation. I wish I could say it lived up to them. Sorry to say I only used it once 1) did not have anywhere near the sanding power I expected. 2) Used up pads , which tend to be expensive, very quickly. Machine was absolutely ineffective sanding the dried joint compound. I think if the compound was applied lighter might do better. 3) Machine is a little unwieldy. Arms can get a little tired holding machine on overhead sanding too. 4) Can't really remember but hooking up the dustless port to shop vac didn't turn out to well either. Had to duct tape connection to keep it together I wish I could give a better report but this has been my experience. Waste of my time and my money.

Product description

3M Elite Vacuum Random Orbital Sanders are an upgraded version of our original series vacuum sanders. These air-powered sanders deliver professional performance and a swirl-free finish in high-production industrial environments that require dust extraction. The 3M clean sand system eliminates dust from the workpiece and surrounding space to improve sanding performance. The sander uses the inlet air to create its own venturi vacuum that extracts dust and expels it through a wide collection port into the included clean sanding filter bag. Elite series palm sanders are loaded with upgraded features aimed at durability, performance, and operator comfort. Improved wrist support increases comfort and leverage. A safer thumb-operated speed control wheel reduces accidental speed changes. The aluminum housing adds durability and reduces vibration, and the durable composite cover helps prevent cracked housings. The internal muffler makes this elite series pneumatic random orbital sander 6 dB quieter than the original series. 3/16” diameter orbit provides a moderate cut-rate and a fine finish on metal, composites, wood and more. The included Hookit hook and loop disc pad allows the operator to quickly and easily apply and re-apply hook and loop discs to the sanding tool. Here’s what’s in the box: 3M Elite Vacuum Random Orbital Sander, Hookit clean sanding disc pad, clean sanding filter bag and bag adapter, hose seal, air tool lubricant, and 24mm pad wrench. Operates at 90 psi with an air flow rate of 17 SCFM.

From the Manufacturer

The 3M™ Elite Air-Powered Random Orbital Sander 28516 features a self-generated vacuum (SGV) and delivers professional dust-free performance and a swirl-free finish hour after hour in high-production industrial environments where dust extraction is required. A 3M best-in-class tool designed to optimize the performance of 3M™ abrasives, it features a 6" diameter for broader coverage, and a 3/16" orbit ideal for general purpose sanding. Built with a powerful precision-balanced 0.28 HP motor and durable lightweight aluminum housing, this ergonomically designed workhorse stands up to industrial production and reduces user fatigue for hours of comfortable operation.

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 3M™ 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.

Wrist and hand support:

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.

Three grip sizes enable operator preference. The grip diameter on the tool is 2-3/4", with two additional grip sizes available (diameters of 2-1/2" and 3", sold separately).

Reduced vibration:

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.

Enhanced safety features:

Internal muffler protects operator hearing and will not break off.

Convenient thumb-controlled speed dial reduces inadvertent speed changes.

3M™ Hookit™ Disc Pad Included for Optimal Performance

Elite 3M sanders perform best when paired with 3M disc pads and abrasives. Included with this sander is one 6" 3M™ Hookit™ Clean Sanding Low Profile Disc Pad 20356, recommended for flat sanding operations with 6" Hookit discs (sold separately). Designed specifically to optimize the performance of this tool, 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 Hookit system enables easy disc changeouts and allows operators to use Scotch-Brite™ discs in addition to coated abrasive Hookit discs (both sold separately).
