This 100mm wide belt sander is as simple as they come. Very well made in sheet steel, it can be used either on the horizontal platen or on the end roller for curved work. Both functions have a work stop, plus an eye shield on the roller end. There is a graphite plate on the platen to reduce friction which can be an issue. A simple door closes off the platen when it is not being used. Belt changing is very simple, as is belt tracking via a hand knob. The direct drive 0.75kW motor is fully dust proofed to IP54 standards and has an automatic brake fitted for quick stopping. This sander would prove to be a very useful addition in most trade workshops, and it is built to work every day.
