Key Capabilities & Applications
Detail & Craft Sanding: Effortlessly smooth small edges, miniatures, and model components.
Internal Cutout Sanding: Thread belts through pierced openings to sand interior contours easily.
Sharpening & Grinding: Restore sharp edges to chisels, knives, scissors, snips, and outdoor garden tools.
Contour & Curved Sanding: Smooth external curves on valances and decorative trim using the exposed upper tracking wheel or by removing the platens for free-handing.
Multi-Material Shaping: Rapidly shape parts made from plastic, bone, non-ferrous materials, and wood.
Engineered for Accuracy & Efficiency
Die-Cast Aluminum Table (11" x 11"): Generous work surface tilts from 0° to 45° for rock-solid bevel control.
Interchangeable Platens Included: Comes with 1" flat, 1/2" flat, and 1/2" radius curved platens to match flat or contoured workpieces.
Hassle-Free Tension & Tracking: Spring-loaded mechanism maintains constant belt tension, while a single adjustment knob ensures true tracking.
Integrated Dust Port: Standard dust extraction port keeps fine wood particles out of your shop air. (Note: Disconnect dust collection before grinding or sharpening metal to prevent spark ignition).
