Key features include a heavy-duty construction designed for continuous industrial use, an adjustable belt tracking system for precision sanding, and a powerful motor to handle a wide range of materials including wood, metal, and composites.
The S8D is ideal for heavy-duty sanding applications such as deburring, flattening, shaping, and finishing large surface areas. It can be used for wood, metal, plastic, and composite materials, making it a versatile solution for industries like metalworking, woodworking, and fabrication.
The standard version of the S8D does not include a built-in dust collection system, but it is equipped with a 6" port that allows for easy integration with an external dust collection unit. This helps maintain a clean working environment and enhances safety during operation.
Belt tracking on the S8D is adjusted via a simple knob control, allowing users to fine-tune the belt’s alignment for precision sanding. Proper belt tracking ensures consistent performance and helps prevent belt slippage or damage.
The S8D accepts a variety of abrasive belts in the 8” x 60” size. Options include aluminum oxide, zirconia, ceramic, and silicon carbide belts. These belts are available in a wide range of grits to accommodate tasks from rough grinding to fine finishing.
