Ideal for woodworking, cabinet making, remodeling and home improvement projects, this belt sander is versatile and powerful. Used for heavy stock removal, sanding wood floors and repairing or fine-tuning a woodworking project like a tabletop, it has been the industry standard for years. Its variable speed dial enables the operator to customize the belt speed to the work from and the quick-release belt-change lever makes belt changes quick and easy. The unit is designed for flush sanding up to vertical surfaces on the open wheel side. An extra-large dust bag swivels 360 deg so it can be moved out of the way in tight quarters.
