Baileigh B-948WBS 9 x 48-Inch Small Piece Wide Belt Sander, 5 HP 230V 1Ph

The Baileigh B-948WBS is a conveyor-fed wide belt sander for finishing, deburring and edge prep on small metal parts. A 5 HP main motor on 230V single-phase power runs a 9 x 48 in. belt at 1,400 FPM.

It takes parts up to 9 in. wide, from 1/16 in. to 4 in. thick and at least 5.9 in. long, removing up to 0.012 in. per pass. An inverter-driven conveyor feeds work at 6 to 16 FPM.

Automatic Belt Tracking

Auto-tracking keeps the abrasive belt aligned while the machine runs.

Operator Safety

An emergency stop, a quick-stop conveyor bar and a belt height sensor are built in.
