Metabo SXE 3125 (600443000) 3MM 310W 220 - 240V Random Orbital Sander

Key specs are: 220–240 V operation, around 310 W of power, 3 mm sanding orbit, hook-and-loop (Velcro) sanding disc attachment, built-in dust extraction with a dust bag, and a variable speed control for adjusting aggressiveness to the task. It’s designed to be lightweight with low vibration for comfortable use.

Use standard 125 mm hook-and-loop sanding discs. Place the disc on the dust extraction pad, press down until it firmly sticks to the Velcro surface, and ensure it is centered. To remove, switch off and unplug the tool, then peel the disc away gently.

The SXE 3125 features a dust port and integrated dust bag for debris collection. You can use the built-in bag for light work or connect a vacuum hose to the port for a more complete dust extraction system, helping keep your work area cleaner.

Common use cases include preparing wood surfaces for staining or varnishing, smoothing rough edges on furniture, removing old coatings from doors and frames, and general surface finishing where a fine, controlled sanding action is required.

Wear safety glasses, a dust mask or respirator, and hearing protection if needed. Secure your workpiece, keep fingers and clothing away from the pad, unplug before changing discs, and avoid excessive pressure to prevent gouging or overheating the pad.

Typically start with a coarser grit (e.g., 60–80) for initial material removal, then move to mid grits (120–180) for smoothing, and finish with a fine grit (220–240) for final prep before finishing. Always test on a scrap piece first.

Keep the tool clean after use, inspect the power cord for damage, check the sanding pad for wear, and replace worn discs promptly. Empty or replace the dust bag as needed and store the sander in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

The package includes the Metabo SXE 3125 sander, a dust bag for debris collection, and the necessary components for the dust extraction setup. A dust port or hose may be compatible for vacuum connections depending on the specific kit.
