Built for busy shops, the Kalamazoo 2FS is a rugged bench belt sander frame that bolts down for steady, repeatable results—without locking you into a motor you don’t want. Add the motor that fits your workflow, then use the 2″ x 48″ belt to clean up parts quickly, sharpen edges, and handle everything from furniture repair to wood furniture repair with less hand sanding and minimize rework.
