Intended Uses

This item is intended for bigger sanding jobs than a palm sander. You can sand wood, metal or plastics, smooth rough boards, and remove rust, paint, and stains/varnishes.

Special Instructions

This sander requires 3 in. X 18 in. sanding belts.

For use as a stationary belt sander (using the tool upside down) you will need a couple of clamps to creatively clamp the tool's front handle (at least) to a table top.

Be aware that with a heavy grit belt, a lot of material will get sanded off in a short amount of time!
