3M 7100264069 Pneumatic Random Orbital Sander 5 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100264069 is a pneumatic random orbital sander built for professional surface preparation work. Powered by compressed air, it operates at up to 12,000 RPM and uses a 3/8-inch orbital path to deliver a swirl-free finish on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. The 5-inch pad diameter suits a wide range of flat and contoured sanding tasks. A self-generated vacuum system captures dust at the source, reducing airborne particles and keeping the work surface cleaner during operation. Licensed tradespeople and finishing contractors use this tool in body shops, fabrication facilities, and construction environments where consistent material removal and surface quality are required.

This sander is suited for both residential and light commercial finishing applications. It handles paint removal, primer scuffing, and final-stage surface prep on panels, doors, and structural components. The central vacuum design makes it compatible with shop vacuum systems, reducing the need for frequent manual cleanup and keeping the operator's view of the work surface clear. It is sold individually and is appropriate for any trade professional who requires a reliable air-powered sanding tool for high-volume or detail work.

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 5-inch hook-and-loop sanding discs compatible with random orbital pneumatic sanders. Requires a compressed air supply line sized to the tool inlet specification.

Installation Notes

Connection and operation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with pneumatic tool systems. Before attaching or removing the sanding disc or air line, ensure the air supply is fully depressurized and the inlet valve is closed. Use a regulated air supply with an inline filter and lubricator to protect internal components and maintain consistent tool performance. Follow applicable shop safety codes and the manufacturer's guidance for air pressure settings.
