Orbital sander Metabo SXE 3125

The Metabo SXE 3125 orbital sander is a compact, lightweight sanding machine designed for efficient surface finishing. With an input power of 310 W and a sanding disc diameter of 125 mm, it delivers high-speed orbital sanding up to 12,000 rpm while remaining easy to handle at a weight of 1.5 kg. The tool includes a textile dust bag and can be connected to an external vacuum cleaner for dust extraction.

Advantages

Ergonomic design with a non-slip softgrip surface on the grip area improves handling and control. Vario (V)-electronics allow adjustable speed to match different materials and applications. A sturdy aluminium die-cast bearing housing and smooth-running motor reduce vibration for more comfortable, low-vibration operation. The base plate has multiple extraction holes to improve dust removal and extend sanding consumable life.

How to use

Attach the appropriate abrasive disc to the 125 mm base plate and select the speed using the Vario (V)-electronics to suit the material. Hold the sander by the softgrip handle and apply light, even pressure while moving the tool across the surface.

Turn off the tool and allow the sanding disc to stop completely before setting it down.

Recommendations

Use progressively finer grits to achieve the desired surface finish, and clean or replace sanding media when clogged to maintain performance. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment for dust and noise when sanding.
