Axminster BS648 Belt Sander

A sturdy and robust machine, fabricated from heavy steel plate and cast iron components. Versatile, in that the belt arm can be used in any position from horizontal to vertical. The whole belt arm pivots around a very large flange with a graduated scale and the outer end of the belt drive roller is supported in its own ball bearing assembly. Fitted with a very comprehensive guarding system that allows the operator to expose only the amount of sanding belt required, but still allowing very easy changes of standard 150 x 1,220mm belts. A large cast iron sanding table, tiltable from minus 15° to plus 45° gives great support. When used as a linisher in the horizontal mode, the guarding can be removed to expose the maximum amount of belt, and a fixed work stop is provided. The close fitting guarding coupled with two 62mm dust outlets will give exceptional extraction when coupled to a suitable fine dust collector.
