The new line of 3M™ Air-Powered Tools and abrasives are designed to work with the majority of composite and specialty materials.

Use 3M™ Random Orbital Sanders to sand and prepare composite surfaces, such as fiberglass, gel coats, glass, acrylic glass, granite, plastics and more. When combined with genuine 3M™ Abrasives, they eliminate the need for tedious manual sanding and hazard,ous chemical paint peeling.

Let's take a look at how these tools perform in a variety of composite and specialty settings.

The Composites and Specialty Demonstration Video will give you a quick glimpse at these tools in action. See the Random Orbital Sanders sand gel coat and fiberglass. While these are just some of the ways you might use these great new tools, they'll give you an idea of how the product functions.

Understanding composite and specialty finishing and how to select and apply the right finish is based on selecting the right abrasives and accessories. While the tools provide the guts behind the grit, your disc pad and abrasive selection is key to getting the finish you desire. Our Disc Pad Recommendation Chart will help you determine which pad is right for you. Be sure to review which kind of vacuum style your 3M™ Air-Powered Sander has, and whether you choose to use the new patented, multi-hole Clean Sanding abrasives and accessories.

Selecting the right abrasive can be tricky, as some of the selection is based on your personal preference and attachment style. Many of our thousands of abrasive products come in Paper, Film and Cloth-backed variations. You can also review our Online Product Selector for a more personalized approach to product selection.
