Shinano Self-Vacuum Dual Action Sander, 6 Inch Pad, Made in Japan - SI3111

Self-Vacuum Air Sander 6 Inch

Engineered for precision surface preparation, fine finishing, and seamless feather-edging, the Shinano SI-3111-6 Pneumatic Sander is an industrial-grade pneumatic tool manufactured in Japan. Built around a 148-Watt motor, it operates at a high-speed free speed of 10,000 RPM while maintaining smooth, highly manageable operational balance. The machine utilizes a balanced 5 mm orbit diameter paired with a factory-configured 150 mm (6-inch) Velcro pad, allowing technicians to cover expansive body panels and large wooden surfaces quickly while producing a completely swirl-free, coat-ready finish.

What sets the Shinano SI-3111-6 apart is its autonomous self-generating vacuum system. By cleverly harnessing its own compressed air exhaust, the tool creates powerful suction directly at the contact zone. It automatically extracts toxic body filler particles, old paint dust, and fiberglass debris into an attached collection bag, eliminating the need to drag around heavy external vacuum units. Housed inside an ultra-compact, lightweight 1.29 kg alloy palm-grip body, it incorporates an integrated speed dial regulator that gives operators immediate, fingertip control over airflow and RPM for both coarse sanding and delicate finishing tasks.

Key Features & Benefits:

Japanese Craftsmanship: Fabricated in Japan utilizing premium industrial-strength metal alloys, high-precision bearings, and internal components for an extended tool service life and long-term shop reliability.

Self-Generating Dust Vacuum: Uses its own compressed air exhaust flow to create independent suction, trapping particles into an attached collection bag without requiring a bulky separate extractor machine.

6-Inch Wide Coverage: Outfitted with a premium 150 mm (6") Velcro backing pad to aggressively maximize material removal and reduce processing time on large panels, flat boards, or vehicle body parts.

Swirl-Free Dual Action: Melds high-speed rotation with a balanced 5 mm orbit diameter to prevent deep directional scratching, giving surfaces a flawlessly smooth, coat-ready finish.

Operator Health Protection: Traps dangerous fiberglass, body filler, paint particles, and fine wood dust right at the surface level, keeping the workshop air breathable and safe for technicians.

High-Speed 10,000 RPM Output: Driven by a robust 148-Watt motor that maintains torque stability under load to ensure consistent, highly efficient material abrasion without stalling.

Variable Air Regulator Dial: Features an integrated control dial directly on the tool body, allowing operators to precisely throttle airflow and dial in required RPMs for delicate materials.

Ergonomic Compact Palm Body: Engineered with an ultra-lightweight 1.29 kg housing that fits naturally in the palm, dramatically lowering hand strain and operator fatigue over long work shifts.

Economical Air Consumption: Consumes an average of just 2.3 CFM (1.1 L/S) at standard operating pressure, optimizing compressor efficiency and reducing strain on workshop air networks.
