Description
Unlike the similar looking 3M™ right angle grinder, this sander is not equipped with a safety guard for using bonded wheels.
With its 5/8-11 shaft, this die grinder/disc sander can be used with a wide variety of 3M 4", 4-1/2" and 5" fibre grinding discs, sanding discs, and Scotch-Brite surface conditioning discs - each with their appropriate backing pad systems (see below for more details).
This heavy duty grinder/sander delivers versatility, durability, and 1 full horsepower of power.
It is designed with a short shaft, so the surface of the discs is close to the tool - giving you superior control, and helping to avoid gouging the work surface.
This is a high quality, very quiet, very powerful tool that makes especially efficient use of the available air supply.
Use it for grinding, sanding, adhesive removal, coating removal, contour finishing, deburring, beveling, prepping metal for painting, and more.
This tool features an all-important 97° head angle (instead of 90°) for a more comfortable wrist angle, and significantly decreased wrist strain.
Tool has a 3/8" air inlet, but includes a 3/8" to 1/4" reducer allowing for use of a variety of air supply plugs
However, for optimal tool performance, we recommend using fittings that maintain a full flow internal diameter.
