Description

2FSMV Features & Benefits

Why the 2FSMV 2" x 48" Belt Sander with Vacuum Base Works Hard for Your Shop

The Kalamazoo 2FSMV is the shop equipment your crew actually needs—a sander with vacuum base that combines a 2" x 48" machine for sanding with a built-in shop vacuum system, so your industrial shop stays cleaner, your finishes come out tighter, and you get two tools in one American-made package.

Built-In 1/2 HP Motor

The 2FSMV ships with a 1/2 HP, 115V TEFC motor that runs 4500 SFPM, so you plug in and start sanding.

Multi-Position Head

Run the head vertical, horizontal, or anywhere in between to handle flat work, edges, contours, and finishing.

Built for Metalwork

Blend welds, deburr laser and plasma-cut parts, and knock down mill scale on steel, aluminum, brass, and bronze.

°

Tilt Table for Clean Finishes

The steel tilt table adjusts 20 degrees up and 45 degrees down, so you bevel edges and square ends with repeatable accuracy.

Integrated Shop Vacuum System

The built-in vacuum base captures grit and debris at the source with a fireproof filter, so your shop stays clean without a separate dust collector.

Made in the USA

The 2FSMV is built in Kalamazoo, Michigan with all-steel construction and backed by a one-year warranty.
