The Strip Sander is an often forgotten, value-priced workshop addition

that will save you countless hours of tedious work sanding or grinding

intricate external or internal shapes. In addition, it’s also a fabulous choice

for polishing or sharpening chisels and other edged shop and garden tools.

What you’ll do with your new Shopsmith Strip Sander

The narrow belt (1˝ or 1/2˝) Strip Sander will give you the same kinds

of work-saving convenience you’re accustomed to with full-sized Belt

Sanders ... just on a smaller scale. You’ll use it to make easy work of

intricate sanding, grinding and sharpening jobs such as:

• Smoothing the external edges of small craft, model or delicate

miniature projects. It’s the perfect companion for your Bandsaw

or Scroll Saw.

• Using its unique Belt re-thread capability to sand or grind the

intricate internal cut-outs on all types of projects.

• Grinding metal objects or shaping plastic parts.

• Sharpening lawn and garden tools.

• Putting a keen cutting edge on bevel-edged or turning chisels using

our optional Chisel-Sharpening Attachment

See Page 20

You’ll find a full range of available belts from 50-grit to 600-grit –

and either 1˝ or 1/2˝ widths. There’s virtually no small-scale job your

My workshop is equipped with my Shopsmith MARK V, a

Bandsaw and a Jointer. I also have a free-standing Planer,

Scroll Saw, Belt Sander, Dust Removal System and a Router. I

can honestly say there seems no end to what the combination of my

equipment can produce.

Loaded With Work-Saving, Results-

Enhancing Benefits and Accessories

As with all Shopsmith Special Purpose Tools,

your Strip Sander offers a number of great features

and accessories to help you make everything you

make – better.

MARK V or Stand Mount

Every Shopsmith Special Purpose Tool offers the

option of mounting and powering it with your

Shopsmith MARK V – or with its own, individual,

motorized Stand.

Oversized Tilting Table

Large 11˝ x 11˝ die cast aluminum Table

tilts from “0” to 45° for accurate beveling

or sharpening jobs. Generous size provides

plenty of support for your most critical jobs.

Interchangeable

Flat and Curved

Platens

You’ll get three interchangeable Platens to

support the Belt during straight or curved

sanding or grinding jobs. Choose from 1˝ or 1/2˝

wide Flat Platens or the 1/2˝ radius Curved Platen. You can also remove

the Platen completely for unsupported light

sanding of delicate workpieces.

Exposed Upper Tracking Wheel

Perfect for sanding the flowing external curves

of valances, decorative trim and similar projects.

Simple Tracking Adjustments and

Automatic Belt Tensioning

A quick twist of the single Tracking Knob keeps the Belt running straight

and true ... while the spring-loaded Tracking Wheel automatically keeps

the Belt on-track, without fiddling.

Built-in Dust Collection Port

Just connect the hose from your Shopsmith

Dust Collector to the Port and go to work, as

the sanding/grinding is trapped before it can

spread throughout the shop.
