Collection: Pneumatic Belt Sander

A pneumatic belt sander carries a narrow belt on an arm that is often long and slim. It reaches slots, internal corners and the inside of parts that no pad sander can work.

Dagobert Industrie stocks the Dynabrade NITRO NF1. See also our pneumatic tools, our abrasive belts and our power tools.

What the arm changes

The length and width of the arm completely determine what the machine can do. A short, wide arm works fast on accessible surfaces; a long, narrow arm gets into a groove but removes little and heats up faster.

The arm is also a wear part: its rollers and platen wear hollow, and a belt that runs off to the side most often comes from a worn arm, not from poor fitting.

Belt tracking

Centring is adjusted by tilting the idler wheel. A belt that drifts wears on one edge, heats up and ends up coming off. This adjustment is checked at every belt change, with the machine running unloaded.

And as with any endless belt, the arrow on the inside gives the mounting direction: the wrong way round, the edge of the joint hits on every turn.
