3M 7100088652 6 Inch Random Orbital Sander 0.45 Hp

Product Description

The 3M 7100088652 is a two-hand random orbital sander built for professional surface preparation work. Powered by a 0.45 HP motor with a 3/8-inch orbit pattern, it delivers consistent stock removal and finish quality across a range of abrasive applications. The sander features a built-in muffler and rear exhaust to reduce noise and direct airflow away from the operator. A removable side handle supports two-handed control during extended use. This tool is sold as a single unit and is suited for body shop technicians, woodworking professionals, and general trade finishing work.

The 7100088652 is designed as a dual-purpose tool that operates either as a non-vacuum unit in open-air environments or connected to a central vacuum system for dust collection at the source. The 6-inch pad size makes it appropriate for broad flat panels and contoured surfaces. This configuration suits automotive refinishing bays, fabrication shops, and production finishing lines where operators switch between vacuum and non-vacuum setups depending on the workstation.
