SKIL 1215 AA Belt sander

The ideal tool for demanding sanding jobs
With its powerful 650W motor and high belt speed of 300 m/min, this sander is an excellent choice for rapid material removal. It’s ideal for demanding jobs such as pre-sanding doors and boards before repainting them. The belt sander is supplied with a sanding belt, ‘Equalizer’ sanding frame, dust box and vacuum cleaner adapter so you can start working right away.

High performance
Manual alignment of the sanding belt during use is no longer necessary, thanks to the 1215’s ’ABC’ system. This keeps the sanding belt perfectly aligned with the machine, and prevents the sanding belt from running off or into the tool. The ‘Clic’ system makes it easy to change the sanding belt: simply pull the lever to change the belt.

Smooth surfaces with the ‘Equalizer’ sanding frame
You´ll get a perfectly equal and smooth sanding result with the included innovative ‘Equalizer’ sanding frame. The ‘Equalizer’ sanding frame makes sure that you put the tool perfectly straight on the workpiece, preventing scratches and grooves on your workpiece and making it easy to equalize uneven surfaces.

Handy features for extra working comfort
For cleaner working, the sander has a built-in dust-collection system with handy dust box. The dust filter filters even the finest dust particles out of the air. The dust box can be removed, emptied and re-installed easily. There’s also a vacuum cleaner adapter that connects to most standard-size vacuum cleaners to help keep your home clean. The lock-on button on top enables continuous working.
