From refinishing wood furniture to sanding down drywall seams, power belt sanders get the job done quickly. Learn more about the number of uses for a belt sander as well as what features to look for when buying one, then shop for sanding tools, accessories and safety equipment to get the job done right.

What is a Belt Sander?

A belt sander is a sander with an electric motor used to shape and finish flat wood surfaces. Electric belt sanders require a steady hand as they can quickly cut deeper into a surface on the side where pressure is more heavily applied. A sander belt is a powerful solution for larger projects or more frequent sanding, leaving a smooth finish on any job.

Versatile Portable Belt Sander Uses

A small belt sander is hand held and can be a versatile tool for a plethora of projects. They are great for sanding wood surfaces, like cabinetry, doors, windows or furniture, allowing you to refinish an antique piece for the dining room or touch up your kitchen cabinets.

Both cordless and corded belt sander models are great for stripping paint to prepare a fresh, even coat on a variety of surfaces, and can even be used to sharpen tools with the right attachments, too. Opt for a cordless belt sander when greater portability is essential, or a corded model when you need more power.  

What Should I Look for in a Belt Sander?

Knowing which belt sander to choose can be tough, and it usually depends on your specific circumstances. Luckily, Ace stocks power sanders from brands like Makita, Craftsman and Milwaukee so you know you’re getting quality performance you can rely on.

When shopping for a reliable portable or tabletop belt sander, consider the following:

  • Variable speed options which allow you to control the speed and strength of your machine.
  • Dust collection bags that prevent irritating dust from blowing in the air for a cleaner workspace.
  • The belt width determines how large an area a belt sander can work.
  • Auto-tracking belt system that centers the belt without manual adjustment.

Hand held belt sander models allow for versatile sanding around the home or jobsite, while bench top belt sander options give reliable power for bigger jobs in the workshop.

Is a Belt Grinder the Same as a Sander?

A belt sander works with wood, while a belt grinder is a tabletop metalworking tool often used for removing stock from metal pieces, deburring welded edges, producing bevels, surface finishing and general metal smoothing operations. However, a bandfile belt sander utilizes the metalworking abilities of a belt grinder in a portable design. Both sanders and grinders are invaluable power tools in your arsenal.

Belt sanders are essential tools for the home garage as well as a professional jobsite but are only a small part of a bigger tool set.
