What To Look For In A Disc Sander?

1. Disc Size

The disc size is very important. it all depends on the types of projects you will be using the disc sander for. They usually range from 5 to 8 inches in diameter although there are some that are large as 12 inches. The disc size affects the overall length of the disc sander and also affects the size of the workspace.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Speed

Speed is another important factor to consider when choosing a disc sander. How much power you need also depends on the kind of work that you will do with the sander.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Power

The power of the disc sander determines how efficient it is. More power means the projects will be completed faster than a disc sander with less power. You will need more power for more difficult jobs and lighter jobs will require less power. Most disc sanders have 2 to 5 amps of motor power to complete the tasks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Weight

There are disc sanders that are lightweight and there are heavy-duty ones. How heavy of a disc sander you want will depend on the type of work you do. Heavy industrial disc sanders usually are used for heavy-duty sanding projects while lightweight disc sanders are for easier and quick projects.

 

 

 

 

 

5. Stable Base

Another important factor to consider is the stability of the disc sander. You want a disc sander that is stable when you work on your projects. Most often disc sanders that feature a steel base have a good level of stability.

 

 

 

 

 

6. Tilt

The ability to tilt allows you to do angular sanding. This also allows you to complete your projects with a smooth and excellent finish. When choosing a disc sander, it is always good to get one that has the tilt capability. Many of the newer models do have this capability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Belt Size

The belt size of the disc sander is also important. When you choose a disc sander, you want to pay close attention to the belt size.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Bevel Capacity

Some disc sanders have a beveled table. This helps when you are shaping and sanding uneven surfaces or working at awkward angles. Some bevel tables work at 45 or 90 degrees while others don’t bevel at all. You want to verify if the disc sander you want has the bevel feature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. Dust Collection

Dust collection may not seem to be an important factor to consider when choosing a disc sander, but it is. For your health and that of others, you want to choose a disc sander that has dust ports that allow you to connect a hose to collect the dust.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. Locking Tables

A locking table is a safety feature that you want for your disc sander. Tables that are mounted on pivot arms or trunnions can be locked securely.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

11. Air Deflectors

Air deflectors protect you from being hit by debris and getting injured. Some disc sanders are designed with air deflectors to protect the user. If you can get a disc sander with that air deflector, it is best to get it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

12. Graphite Platen Pad

Most disc sanders feature a graphite-covered pad that is fixed to the platen which minimizes the friction between the belt and platen. This is another feature to consider when you choose a disc sander.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Types of Disc Sanders

1. Disc Sander

A dedicated disc sander is a benchtop tool with a singular disc for smoothing cuts. This type of disc sander doesn’t take up a lot of space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Disc/Belt Combination

The disc and belt combination is becoming more popular today. They are larger than the dedicated disc sander and therefore take up more workspace.
