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
With a belt sander size of 6 by 48 inches, a tilting range of 0 to 90 degrees, and an included work support table, the 50-120 lets you sand most any surface comfortably and efficiently. For smaller stock, set the belt sander in its home position and place the end of the stock against the table as a guide. If you're sanding larger stock, you'll want to remove the table for increased space. 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
The RIKON Belt/Disc Sander features a convenient quick-release belt-tension lever for fast and efficient belt changes. Once installed, a single tracking knob can be used to easily adjust the tension and position of the belt for accurate belt alignment.

Disc Sander with Work Table
With the largest disc size in its class, the 10-inch disc sander is used for sanding small end surfaces, outside curves, and beveled edges. 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.

3/4-Horsepower Motor Plus Reliable Sanding Speeds
RIKON's Belt/Disc Sander features a powerful, 3/4-horsepower motor that is totally enclosed and fan cooled for long life. The belt sander operates at a speed of 2,030 SFPM for fast and smooth results, while the disc sander's speed of 1,720 RPM provides increased torque and reliability.

Warranty Information
The RIKON 50-120 6-Inch by 48-Inch Belt/10-Inch Disc Sander is backed by a manufacturer's two-year limited warranty.
