Combination Power Sander: 4" Belt, 6" Disc, Tilting Table, 3/4 Horsepower, Wen Model # 6501

Combination Power Sander: 4" Belt, 6" Disc, Tilting Table, 3/4 Horsepower, Wen Model # 6501 Review



Combination Power Sander: 4" Belt, 6" Disc, Tilting Table, 3/4 Horsepower, Wen Model # 6501 Feature

  • More value: Combination belt and disc
  • Powerful 3.5 AMP motor puts out 3/4 horsepower
  • Belt angle adjustment (0 - 90º), tension spring adjustment. Beveling disc table top (45º - 90º)
  • Durable cast iron base.
  • UL listed
Compare the features and specifications and you'll see that this combination sander is comparable to the many higher-priced shop sanders.

The dominant features is the powerful 3.5 AMP motor that puts out 3/4 horsepower-enough for almost any application. Adjustable-beveled disc table and belt are a must for anyone serious in working with wood and this has both. The table top bevels from 45 degrees to 90 degrees ensuring smoothing at any angle. The table also has an adjustable-angled holder that can spin the wood horizontally. This along with the bevelling table results in the ability to make oblique angles on wood.

The belt swings up to 90 degrees. This means versatility: More projects get done, and projects get done quicker.

Tension-spring adjustment means you can tweak sanding pressure based on the hardness or grain direction of the wood and the quality or grain of the belt. This way you'll prevent belt breakage and also get the custom results you want or need. Speed: Disc 1780 rpm, Belt 1150 RPM.

The base is made of cast iron, and the disc table is made of aluminum. One benefit is that the unit is lighter and that you probably do not need two people to move this unit. Overall dimensions: 24-3/4" H x 15" W x 14" D Weight: 33.5 lbs. Shipping Weight: 37.5 lbs.

Includes a sanding disc and a belt of standard grain to give you a way to try out sanding, to give you an idea of what sanding belt and disc grain numbers to buy later.

Why worry about taking a chance not buying an expensive popular brand? It's warrantied. If you buy another-very popular brand, you're buying a name: In this case you'll just overpay.
