DESCRIPTION

The Craftsman Sanding Centers are constructed of rugged die cast aluminum and cast iron providing stability and vibration-

free operation. The sanding centers are used to sand, deburr, bevel and grind large workpieces of wood, plastic and metal.

Mechanical variable speed feature allows precise control of matedal removal rate.

Motor

Built-in dust colle_on system collects dust from the belt, disc and spindle. Dust is exhausted into one included dust collection

bag. The belt housing can be pivoted from vertical to horizontal for sanding large, straight workpieces. The belt assembly includesa t_16ng,cast iron table with miter gauge and dust

collectionchute. The disc can be used to sand or bevel SUlfates with the use of 0 to 45" scaled aluminum table. The disc assambly includes a tilting table with miter gauge slot and dust coltactionchute. The osdtiaiJng spindle pern#rtsthe sand-

ing of contoured shapes. The oscillating motion of the spindle prevents I_'nlng of the workptace end Increases abrasive

sleeve life. The a_ustab_e miter gauge can be used on both the belt and disc tables for guiding the workplece at a desired angle while sanding.
