DESCRIPTION
The Craftsman Belt and Disc Sanders are constructed of
rugged die cast aluminum and cast iron providing stability and
vibration-free operation. The belt and disc are used to sand,
deburr, bevel and grind large workpieces of wood and plastic.
The belt housing can be pivoted from vertical to
horizontal for sanding large, straight workpieces. The idler
drum permits the sanding of contoured shapes and finishes.
The disc can be used to sand or bevel surfaces.
Built-indust collection system collects dust from the belt and
disc, and exhausts the dust into an included 30-micron
collection bag.
The adjustable miter gauge can be used on both the belt and
disc tables for guiding the workpieca at a desired angle while
sanding. Work stop included for sanding long pieces on the
belt.
