Few
tools will save you more work and time than a stationary Belt
Sander. Its straight line action removes stock quickly and
easily...then smooths surfaces and edges to a glass like surface
by changing to a fine grit Belt.
What
you'll do with your new Shopsmith Belt Sander
Belt Sanders are the ideal tool for smoothing the surfaces
and edges of both narrow and wide boards. You'll use it to
make easy work of home shop sanding jobs such as:
- Removing
unsightly mill marks from sawn stock
- Sanding
bevels, miters and other cuts while using the Table to maintain
a precise angle or size.
- Contour
sanding odd-shaped workpieces on the back side of the Belt
(which runs free without a Back-Up Plate).
- Sanding
protruding joinery (finger laps, lap joints, mortise-and-tenons,
dovetails, etc.) flush with workpiece edges or surfaces.
- Sanding
small or unusually-shaped parts that may be difficult or
impossible to hold for sanding with hand-held power sanders.
When
you want to remove stock quickly, sand across the grain.
When you want to smooth stock, sand with the grain.
In fact, thanks to its straight-line cutting action, you can
produce surfaces or edges that are smooth as glass and straight
as an arrow by merely changing to a fine grit belt.
When
you need true 90° edges, position the Worktable along
the side of the Belt so its surface is 90° to the Belt
surface...then use the Table as a precision Rip Fence-type
guide.
When
you need precise, 2-way 90° corners, position
the Worktable across the Belt with its surface 90° to
the Belt surface...then use the Table as a precision back-up
to maintain the angle of the stock during sanding.
When
you need precise, 3-way 90° corners just
use your Belt Sander's Table slot to bring your MARK Vs Miter
Gauge into the equation for even more control.
Loaded
with work-saving, results-enhancing benefits and accessories
As
with all Shopsmith Special Purpose Tools, your Belt Sander
offers a number of great features and accessories to help
you make everything you make - better.
MARK V or Stand Mount
-- Every Shopsmith Special Purpose Tool offers the option
of mounting and powering it with your Shopsmith MARK V - or
with its own, individual, motorized Stand.
6"
x 9" Support Table
-- Tilts and locks into position to control sanding angles
and to act as a back-up during certain operations. It may
be used across the Belt, parallel to it on either side or
at any angle for support when surfacing or edging stock. Your
MARK V’s Miter Gauge or the Shopsmith Tenon-Master Jig may
be used with the Table for added control.
Automatic belt tensioning and tracking -- Just twist
the Tensioning Knob until it clicks to release the tension
for Belt changes. Then, depress the Knob release Lever and
everything snaps back to normal automatically. No tension
settings required. Special High-Crown Drum helps to keep the
Belt on-track at all times, without the need for constant
adjustments.
Free-running
belt on back side -- Since the back side of the
Belt has no back-up Plate, it will flex and give to match
the external contours of workpieces.
Built-In Dust Collection Port -- 2-1/2" Dust Collection
Port helps you capture the fine dust created by your Belt
Sander before it gets into your shop environment.
Auxiliary Power Shaft -- 5/8" Shaft extends from
the Drive Roller to accept the Shopsmith Drum
Sander (505552). Or, use your Shopsmith 1/4" Router
Chuck to hold our Small Drum Sanders.
