3M™ Orbital Sander, 3"x4" Self-Generated Vacuum with 3M™ Clean Sanding Sheet 236U.
  • Popular and powerful non-vacuum sander comes with a 3M™ Hookit™ Pad included. Non-vacuum models are used in applications where dust extraction is not a concern.
  • A central vacuum-ready sander, with a 3M™ Hookit™ Clean Sanding Pad, easily attaches to an existing central vacuum to evacuate dust.
  • Our self-generating vacuum sander is designed to work with the 3M™ Clean Sanding System.™ It comes with a HEPA-rated Clean Sanding Filter Bag and Clean Sanding Hookit™ Pad.
Breathe Easy and Maximize Performance, Productivity
The 3M™ Clean Sanding System™ helps you control this fugitive dust and thus:

  • Attain a better finish when the abrasive is kept clean
  • Reduce cleanup costs
  • Extend abrasive material life
  • Reduce buffing and rework
  • Maximize your profits
  • Breathe cleaner air
Hookit Attachment System for Optimal Performance
3M™ Hookit™ back-up pads are perfectly mated for use with hook-and-loop style 3M™ Hookit™ sheets. They're ideal for work spaces where adhesive backed discs may become contaminated by dust, dirt, or flying debris. The 3M™ Hookit™ attachment system allows you to easily attach, detach and reattach the abrasive, thus utilizing the entire life of the sheet, resulting in less shop waste.
