We reached further into the Galaxy to bring you the ingenious Seirios Belt Sander. The innovative and unique features, which are only available on the Seirios Sander, have increased the head cutting pressure by 15 to 20 percent without increasing overall weight. A flatter finish and increased cutting speed is achieved. galaxymachines.com

Updates to Norton Red Heat floor sanding belts and rolls make sanding jobs quicker and better than ever. Stronger backing and increased grain weight in 24, 36, 40, 50, and 60 grit cloth belts and rolls for improved performance across coarse sanding sequence.
