3M 7000118743 Orbital Sander Lever 12000 Rpm

Product Description

The 3M 7000118743 is a replacement on/off lever for 3M random orbital sanders operating at 12,000 RPM with a 3/32-inch (2.5 mm) orbit. This lever controls the tool's on and off mechanism, making it a direct service part for restoring switch function on compatible 3M pneumatic orbital sanding tools. It is sold individually and is intended for use by tool repair technicians, maintenance personnel, or trade professionals who perform their own equipment servicing. Keeping a replacement lever on hand minimizes tool downtime in production or job-site environments where orbital sanders see continuous use.

This lever is designed for use on 3M random orbital sanders running a 12,000 RPM spindle speed with a 3/32-inch orbit stroke. It applies to pneumatic sanding tools used in automotive finishing, metal fabrication, woodworking, and general surface preparation trades. The part replaces a worn, broken, or non-functioning on/off lever, returning the sander to full operational control without requiring full tool replacement.
