3M 7000118741 Vacuum Shroud Random Orbital Sanders

Product Description

The 3M 7000118741 is a vacuum shroud designed for use with 5-inch and 6-inch random orbital sanders. It shields operators from moving parts during sanding operations and maintains the correct clearance between the backup pad and the shroud body to support effective dust collection. This type of accessory is commonly installed by finishing contractors, auto body technicians, and general tradespeople who require dust management when sanding drywall, wood, or painted surfaces. Proper dust capture at the source reduces airborne particulate and keeps work surfaces cleaner throughout the job.

This vacuum shroud fits 5-inch and 6-inch random orbital sanders and is sold as an individual unit. It is suited to both professional shop environments and field applications where dust control is a priority. Typical use cases include surface preparation work in woodworking, drywall finishing, and paint prep applications where maintaining clean air and minimizing cleanup time are practical concerns for the installer.
