This is a very versatile machine with many uses in the trade workshop. The sander by virtue of its name oscillates up and down whilst rotating at 1,425rpm, ensuring that abrasive is not continually exposed at the same point reducing burning and creating a better quality of finish. The stroke is some 38mm long and is driven by a series of gears working in an oil filled gearbox. The large cast iron table gives adequate support to nearly all types of work and can be tilted to a full 45° if required. The machine is supplied with ten metric bobbins all with sanding sleeves attached and the bobbins fit with a taper into the main drive shaft of the machine. The sleeves are spirally wound to ensure that they have no bump where the join is, more expensive than simple belts but they do leave an excellent finish on nearly all materials. The machine is floor standing and has no castors or wheels, if the machine needs to be moved on a regular basis we recommend the purchase of our mobile base unit 708118. A fine dust extractor is recommended. The machine is supplied complete with three table inserts, service tools, 100mm dust extraction outlet and the following sanding bobbins - 6 x 125mm, 9 x 150mm, 12 x 150mm, 19 x 230mm, 25 x 230mm, 38 x 230mm, 50 x 230mm, 75 x 230mm and 100 x 230mm.
