These belt sanders with a 75mm x 457mm sanding belt are quite wide in size so can tackle a range of applications from sanding wood, to floor and can help to remove paint. Belt sanders are used when heavy duty sanding work is required.

• The key consideration with selecting a belt sander is the belt size. These are some of the larger belt sanders available.

• Most sanders are mains operated although there are some cordless now coming to the market. Choosing your power source: 240v tools are used with normal mains power whilst 110v tools are used on construction sites for safety reasons.
