The new line of 3M™ Air-Powered Tools and abrasives are designed to work in multi-purpose woodworking situations.

For example, the 3M™ Random Orbital Sanders are deliver high performance results whether solid surface finishing, whitewood sanding, removing cross-grains, furniture finishing and refinishing, or seam leveling. While the 3M™ Orbital 3"x4" Sanders are designed to fit in tight spaces, and are good for sealer sanding, recessed panels and cabinet refinishing. Both tools, paired with the right abrasives and accessories, bring you the right finish.

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

The Woodworking Demonstration Video will give you a quick glimpse at these tools in action. See the Random Orbital Sanders in solid surface sanding, seam leveling, whitewood sanding and cross-grain removal applications. See the Orbital Sanders in whitewood sanding and sealer sanding applications. 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 wood 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 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.
