Belt sanders are used to sand down wood for finishing purposes. It has an electrical motor that turns a pair of drums that has a loop of sandpaper around it.
Belt sanders that are hand-held, this is where the sander is moved over the wood. Belt sanders have an aggressive action on wood. They are used only for beginning stages of the sanding process. They are also used for removing material faster than scraping. They are used for removing paints or old finishes from wood.
Belt Sanders
These sanders are fitted with fine sand paper, a guarantees a completely smooth surface when finished. Stationary belt sanders are used for removing metals, such as aluminum. Belt sanders will continue to grind without fear of clogging. There are small grooves in the sand paper that open up as it goes around the arc of the drive wheel. Some stationary sanders are mounted on work benches for those harder projects. These are combined with disc sanders.
Belt sanders vary in size from small hand-held units to wide units that will sand a 4-by-8 foot sheet of plywood. Depending on what you are going to use it for depends on the size. Most units are hand-held for those home projects. Also with sanders there is alot of dust that flies around. Most sanders come with a dust collection system to avoid all the dust that flies with sanding. The collection system can be as small as a cloth filter bag that will suck the dust particles as you are sanding.
