Loaded with features, the Powermatic BD31A Belt and Disc Sander machine can tackle the most demanding tasks. Full cast iron construction is great for heavy woodworking. The integral dual dust port keeps both belt and disc portions clean, extending abrasive life. The articulating table mounted on the 6" x 48" BD31A disc and belt sander machine head can be used vertically, horizontally, or angled to accommodate diverse jobs. The belt head has an indexing pin with stops at 0, 45° and 90° and the head lock allows use at any angle in-between. Removing the top guard allows contour sanding and the cast iron tables with miter gauge slots and positive stops make set-up fast, accurate, and simple for any angle.
