Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Always ready to go.

A great little helper

Don’t be fooled by the size of GMC’s compact Palm Belt Sander. It features a highly efficient 450 w (3.5a) motor, producing plenty power to ensure a high rate of stock removal across a broad range of timber surfaces.

Lightweight

Lightweight hi-tech magnesium construction and a slim design means the tool is lightweight and easy to handle. This PBSM sander is ideal for common sanding applications. Reinvigorate outdoor furniture and find wooden restoration tasks a cinch, especially when a bigger, bulkier sander would not practical. The trigger can be locked in the ‘on’ position to reduce user fatigue and provide greater comfort during prolonged operation. The quick-release belt lever enables rapid belt changing.

Flush up-close sanding

The flush side enables up-close sanding next to perpendicular surfaces. A dust bag is included for a cleaner working environment and improved finish.

Supplied with dust bag, dust extraction adaptor, 5 sanding belts and carry case. GMC’s cutting edge technology enables them to create fantastic, high-quality power tools at great prices. With an innovative mindset and a strong design pedigree, GMC’s range of power tools are not only lightweight, but incredibly strong. Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or using items for trade, you’ll find GMC’s selection will meet all your needs and help you to get the job done to the highest standards imaginable.

Magnesium

Magnesium

So what’s so special about magnesium? Fundamentally, it’s simple: it’s a material that is lighter, stronger & more durable than other structural metals - 75% lighter than steel, 50% lighter than titanium and 32% lighter then aluminium. Many power tools on the market feature extensive use of aluminium, which can make them heavy to hold over extended periods of use. Because they are significantly lighter than aluminium, magnesium components can reduce user fatigue and increase safety.

GMC

With a proud heritage and association with top level motorsport, GMC understands what is needed to make the ordinary extra-ordinary. By using the very latest technologies available, GMC has consistently manufactured tools that offer a performance advantage over other, less forward-thinking competitors. Through its use of such technology as carbon fibre composites, magnesium alloys and laser-guiding, GMC power tools are perfect for everyone from the occasional DIY enthusiast to the veteran trade professional. Offering sleek, modern design combined with unbeatable performance, GMC’s tools not only perform outstandingly well, but they look spectacular, are powerful, and handle with unrivalled smoothness.

    Great little sander 13 Oct 2010
    By Phil
    I was looking for a compact powerful easy to use sander for small sanding jobs and projects that did not warrant a full size belt sander. This little machine fitted the bill perfectly and has not disappointed.Ive already used it on a few items of rough and dirty wood and it ripped it smooth in no time ready for finishing. With a finer grit belt I sure it would work well in applications requiring a bit more finesse as well.The DVD supplied with it provides clear instructions on how to change the belt using the very simple quick change lever (Its supplied with 5 spare belts to get you started) and demonstrates how to use the handy adjustment knob to make the belt track straight across the rollers. It takes a standard 60 x 400 belt which are under £2 a pack of 5 from various high street suppliers. By the way you get what you pay for with abrasives same as most things so go for a decent brand its what does the sanding at the end of the day !!!
    All in all a decent item for the price with a 2 year warranty..

    Quality Control 1 Mar 2011
    By Raven
    Amazon Verified Purchase
    I purchase this 4 months ago and have use it on a lot of wood working projects.
    So I think I can give it a fair review, sometimes I wonder when reading other reviews on Amazon
    have they actually use the products.
    Anyway this sander is compact and a handy size and looks solid from first impressions. I found it
    comfortable and less tiring to use than other belt sanders.

    One of the first things I found annoying when using it, is the switch which you have to force
    to switch on or off, a bad design.
    Second is the plastic lever that is used to change belts, it is soft and flexible, in time I don't
    think it will last. It should have been more solid or metal.
    Third the rear roller is showing wear, this could be because tension on the belt is not high
    enough to stop the belt slipping, or a faulty roller (rubber too soft).
    Lastly it would have been usefull to be able to adjust the speed.

    I have a 15 year old DeWalt belt sander bit big and heavy, this is one of the reasons I brought the GMC.
    The DeWalt has been used regularly, has shown none of the above problems.
    There is a price different I know, but from the GMC imformation their products are made with
    Professional people in mind????.
    If it was'nt for the above problems, I think GMC would have a winner and it would have got nearer five stars.
    I have brought the GMC planer(see review) at the same time and that is definately a winner.

    This is an esay to handle and effective tool, not too heavy with a comfortable grip. The belt being narrower than most other makes makes it easier to get into narrow spaces.
