Description
This is a simple, single drum, open sided finishing sander, perfect for both board sanding and square frame sanding. Made mainly from aluminium alloy castings with a steel base frame, it is a robust machine for its size. A sturdy, splayed leg steel floor stand comes with the AP406DS.
The open sided design allows wide boards up to 812mm to be sanded by running through from both sides. There is a hand control wheel for the sanding depth, with an indicator scale. A 0.75kW motor drives the drum, with a variable speed unit controlling the conveyor feed speed. The conveyor belt is easy to track, and there are shims provided to ensure that the conveyor belt is parallel to the sanding drum.
The abrasive loadings are easy to change, with simple clips holding the abrasive. No tools required. Machine supplied with an 80 grit loading.
Note: Drum sanders are used as part of the finishing process, they are not intended to be used as a planer/thicknesser or for significant stock removal. A drum sander does not replace a planer/thicknesser and vice versa. Drum sanders are intended to be used with pre-planed and thicknessed material. Overall, a planer/thicknesser is meant to dimension timber, the drum sander to finish it.
- Open sided configuration: The AP406DS has a sanding capacity of up to 812mm thanks to its open sided design, allowing you to sand wide boards with ease.
- Rubber conveyor belt: The rubber conveyor belt protects workpieces from being marked, helping you achieve a pristine finish.
- Variable speed conveyor: The conveyor is powered by a 0.75kW motor and controlled by a variable speed unit, giving you the option for varying finishes.
- Clear easy to read depth scale: The sanding thickness can be quickly adjusted between 3mm and 127mm with a hand control wheel. The depth scale on the front of the machine makes setting and monitoring your sanding thickness simple.
- Toolless belt changing: Change the abrasive loadings with simple clips – no tools required; saving you precious time for the job at hand. Supplied with an 80 grit loading, there are numerous other grits available.
