Product Summary

This Powermatic Belt/Disc Sander allows you to tackle the most demanding projects. Its 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 6in. x 48in. belt sander 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 setup fast, accurate, and simple for any angle.

Questions & Answers

Questions

  1. I’ve had a similar machine, different brand, with 230v, 1.5 hp that was way underpowered.  Considering this as an upgrade with either VFD of inverter on 220v line.  Is the motor on this well suited for use with a VFD or inverter?

    1 answer

    1. The model 31A will not work with a VFD or an inverter.
