Epäkeskohiomakone Metabo SXA 18 LTX 150 BL

The Metabo SXA 18 LTX 150 BL is a cordless random orbital sander designed for efficient sanding of larger surfaces. Powered by an 18V battery and equipped with a brushless motor, it combines a 150 mm sanding pad with a low overall height and a lightweight 1.3 kg construction to deliver high material removal rates while remaining easy to handle. The tool features variable idle speed and oscillation settings for working with different materials, a multi-hole pad for dust extraction, and both a textile dust bag and the option to connect to an external vacuum cleaner.

Advantages

The brushless Metabo motor provides higher efficiency and longer runtime compared with brushed alternatives, while the soft-start function reduces the risk of surface damage when placing the machine down. Low vibration and a non-slip soft-grip area improve control and comfort during extended use. The multi-hole sanding pad supports effective dust extraction and extends abrasive life; the tool can be used with the supplied textile dust bag or connected to an all-purpose vacuum cleaner. A motor and plate brake allow the sander to stop quickly after use, and a removable protector helps safeguard adjacent surfaces.

Suitable for

• Sanding large wooden panels, floors and doors
• Surface preparation before painting or varnishing
• Removing old finishes and smoothing filler compounds
• Sanding of composite materials and light metal deburring
• On-site mobile sanding where extraction is limited

How to use

Secure an appropriate abrasive disc to the 150 mm sanding pad, select a suitable battery and attach it to the tool. Start with a low idle speed and increase as needed to match the material and desired removal rate. Hold the sander flat and move it evenly across the surface with light, steady pressure; avoid forcing the tool. Use the soft-start feature when placing the sander on the workpiece to reduce initial impact. For improved dust control, attach the textile dust bag or connect an all-purpose vacuum cleaner via the coupling bush. Engage the motor and plate brake will stop the sanding pad quickly after switching off.

Recommendations

Use progressively finer grits for final finishing and change sanding discs when they become clogged or worn. When working on delicate surfaces, keep speeds low and test on a scrap piece first. For extended jobsite use, combine the tool with a compatible Metabo 18 V battery that matches expected runtime requirements and consider external dust extraction when regulations or cleanliness demand it.
