S6MV Features & Benefits

Why the S6MV Metal Belt Sander with Vacuum Works Hard for Your Shop

The Kalamazoo S6MV belt sander with vacuum keeps your crew sanding metal, finishing parts, and hitting deadlines without slowing down to clean up dust.

Built-In Vacuum for Dust Extraction

The integrated vacuum for dust extraction pulls metal dust and debris away from the work zone, so your crew breathes cleaner air and keeps the floor clear.

Powerful 3 HP Motor

The 3 HP motor drives the belt hard through steel, aluminum, and stainless, so you finish parts fast without bogging down mid-job.

Removing Burrs From Metal

The S6MV tears through removing burrs from metal quickly and evenly, leaving clean edges that meet spec and move straight to the next step.

Rust Removal on Metal

Tackle rust removal on metal fast by swapping to the right grit belt, stripping surface rust and scale so parts are ready for coating or welding.

Multi-Position Sanding Head

Lock the head flat, vertical, or anywhere in between, so you sand at the angle that fits the part and gets the job done right the first time.

Belt Sander With Dust Collector Base

The belt sander with dust collector base keeps your shop floor cleaner than an open machine, cutting sweep time and keeping metal fines out of other equipment.
