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

The DS12V is a disc sander with vacuum — a combined sanding and dust collection machine. It’s designed for both woodworking and metalworking environments, making it a versatile wood shop tool or metal working shop fixture. It features a 12-inch sanding disc, a 1 HP motor, and an integrated vacuum base with ~100 CFM airflow to help manage debris.

You can run abrasive sanding operations on both wood and metal. The DS12V supports standard 12″ PSA abrasive discs, making it adaptable for many finishing, deburring, beveling, and flattening jobs in both wood shop tool workflows and metal working shop tasks.

It’s compatible with 12″ PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) abrasive discs. You can mount different grit/grades depending on your finish requirement — coarse grits for rough stock removal, fine grits for finishing.

The integrated vacuum system is rated around 100 CFM and is housed in the base, which helps pull dust and chips downward and contain debris. This improves shop cleanliness and helps to reduces airborne dust.

The vacuum base includes an access door for debris cleanout and uses a replaceable cloth filter (5X878). Routine maintenance (emptying collected dust, replacing filters) is straightforward.

The DS12V is driven by a 1 HP single-phase (TEFC) motor operating on standard 115 V/1 PH power.

Yes. The DS12V’s steel worktable tilts from 45° downward to 90° (vertical) upward, with an angle gauge and locking mechanism built in, allowing for angled sanding operations.

This is especially well suited for:

  • Woodworking shops needing an integrated wood shop tool that also handles dust control

  • Metal fabrication or finishing shops needing a disc sander with vacuum that can handle abrasive sanding on metal edges, deburring, beveling, or flattening

  • Any shop where cleanliness, dust management, and efficiency are priorities

  • Operations that use standard 12″ PSA discs and want a compact footprint with combined functionality
