Disc SanderThe Shopsmith Disc Sander is in a class by itself. No other disc sander offers its amazing assortment of features and benefits.

Start with its huge 17" x 22" worktable…which eclipses that of even the largest available commercial disc sander and tilts up to 45o for beveling or chamfering. The dual T- shaped slots in its surface let you use your Shopsmith Miter Gauge to hold workpieces firmly in position when sanding precise angles.

Attach the Shopsmith Rip Fence to the table's surface at a slight angle to create a set-up for edge sanding a workpiece to a precise width…
or several workpieces to the identical width.

Its infinitely variable (700 to 5,200 rpm) speed range lets you control the aggressiveness of the disc for hard or soft woods - rough or finish sanding. The unique quill feed mechanism helps you move the disc up to 4-1/4 inches toward or away from the workpiece with micro-precision so you can sand one or multiple project components to a precise width or length.

Dust collection is provided via the MARK V Lower Saw Guard. Just attach any dust collector or shop vacuum to its built-in port to whisk away the majority of your sanding dust.

High quality, pressure-sensitive sandpaper discs are available in a variety of grits, as are optional discs featuring a time-saving Velcro® fastening system.

A unique, optional Conical Disc Sanding System produces swirl-free edges or surfaces and a special guide is available for use with it to sharpen your Shopsmith Lathe Chisels and Shaper Cutters.

All-in-all, a truly extraordinary package of work-saving features for what is normally a fairly ordinary, (and often maligned) task.
