Equipment Accessories

KD12100 12 inch 100 grit PSA sanding disc (one box)

The DS12DH is a double headed industrial disc sander made by Kalamazoo, with two 12-inch sanding discs operating side by side. It gives you more sanding area, dual control, and versatility. It’s ideal for high-volume shops or jobs where you want to cut cycle time by working both sides of a part or two parts at once.

Yes. The DS12DH accepts standard PSA discs or sanding pads, depending on your application. You can use coarse discs for grinding or fine pads for polishing.

It’s built to work with ferrous (steel, iron) and non-ferrous metals (aluminum, etc.). The double head setup is great for jobs like beveling, squaring ends, flattening, or deburring.

Each disc head is individually controlled with its own reversible switch (you can reverse rotation) through drum switches. That flexibility helps you match the sanding direction or operation to your workpiece.

Absolutely. Most parts Kalamazoo manufactures for the DS12DH are replaceable, even many years later. The company keeps stock of replacement parts so your downtime is minimized.

Because it’s a rugged industrial tool, the DS12DH fits well into fabrication shops, metal foundries, automotive, energy, oil & gas, knife making, and other heavy manufacturing settings.

  • You get double head flexibility — two operations in one machine.

  • It supports multiple sanding pad or abrasive options to match your job.

  • It’s built for heavy use as a true industrial tool.

  • Its durability and repairability make it part of your core shop tools roster.

  • It reduces machine swaps, cuts downtime, and keeps your workflow smooth.

The DS12DH is manufactured in the USA, ensuring high-quality standards and supporting domestic craftsmanship.
