Sanding Belt Holders for Lathes

~ NEW Product 2016 - a safer solution to the use of emery cloth on metalworking lathes ~

Available in three sizes; Model MST-SBH1.0,  Model MST-SBH2.0 and Model MST-SBH4.0.

The sanding belt replaces the need for the operator to use emery cloths that have proven to be very dangerous and illegal. 

It is never acceptable to apply emery cloth directly by hand on a rotating CNC or manual metal working machine.

Holding strips of emery cloth wrapped around a rotating component is dangerous practice and may result in serious injury or even death.

The SBH sanding belt holder is clamped into the tool holder and the operator uses the lathe crosslide to apply pressue onto the product. This very timely device is brand newonto the safety market in the UK and replaces the unsafe practice of manual sanding on conventional lathes. 

The particular shape of the device and the tension springs allow to sand bars of different diameters. In order to keep always efficient the abrasive side, the belt can be rotated by means of the specific crank. Available in three different sizes.
