Also called a belt sander, some bench grinders come with belt linishers. Belt linishers work to smooth a workpiece, creating a level, even surface and can also polish materials including wood, metal, and some plastics. They remove less material, in this case from tools you are sharpening. A belt grinder on the other hand runs much faster and therefore removes more material. If you complete any of the following activities, you could consider a belt linisher or sander: • Trimming to a scribed line • Sanding rough surfaces • Levelling surfaces • Freehand rounding and shaping Kendal Tools & Machinery can share our expertise with you if you are considering a belt linisher or sander – simply call us or fill in our enquiry form, outlining your requirements, and we’ll get back to you with product recommendations.
