Cast Iron Construction for Vibration-Free Operation
The heavy-duty, cast iron base weighs in at a sturdy 104 pounds and provides stable support to minimize vibrations in your work. Convenient carry handles increase portability, while pre-drilled holes allow for quick and easy mounting in the bench-top position.

Tilting Belt Sander Increases Versatility

Inside curves are easy when you sand against the end of the belt, and it works well to sand end pieces with the belt tilted up at 90 degrees.

Quick Belt Adjustments for Efficient Work

A large 4-inch by 8-inch solid cast iron table tilts to 45 degrees with a simple loosening and retightening of the table lock knob. You can use the handy scale imprinted on the table support to guide you to the correct position.

A heavy-duty miter gauge is included, giving you a better guide for use with small pieces.

Dust Port Helps Keep Workspace Clean
The 2-1/2-inch dust port is molded to gather dust from both the belt and the disc, and it helps keep your workspace clean.
