Lee Valley Sander/Grinder

This 1″ belt sander is an excellent sharpening center as well as a handy sander. It removes steel quickly and coolly. It can be used for freehand grinding of a range of tools and is ideal for carving and lathe tools. It does a superb job on kitchen knives. The 4″ × 6 1/2″ tool rest has a groove to accept sliding jigs. One 1″ × 42″ sanding belt is included.

The sander will house a motor (not included) with a base up to 7″ wide by 7 3/4″ long and a 1/2″ shaft. A minimum 1/8 hp motor (counterclockwise rotation) is recommended.

For sharpening, we offer a set of our specialized belts for hand-tool grinding and final honing – a 120x blue zirconia belt and a 15 micron (1000x) silicon carbide belt (available separately).

An excellent attachment for sharpening jointer and planer blades up to 6″ long is also available separately.

Made in Canada.
