Full details
The Scheppach BTS800 370W Belt and Disc Sander is an essential tool for hobbyists and home woodworkers looking to achieve professional-level finishes on wood and composite materials. By combining a 100mm sanding belt and a 150mm sanding disc in a single benchtop unit, it provides the versatility needed for both flat surfacing and intricate edge finishing. While its compact footprint is ideal for smaller workshops, users should note that its 370W induction motor is optimized for light to medium-duty tasks rather than heavy industrial material removal.

What size sanding belts does it use?

Troubleshooting
Sanding belt wanders off the rollers
Adjust the tracking knob located on the side of the belt assembly until the belt centers itself while running.
Excessive vibration during use
Ensure all mounting bolts to the workbench are tight and the sanding disc is properly seated and balanced.
Motor stalling under light pressure
Verify that you are not applying too much force; let the grit of the paper do the work. Also, check that the belt isn't too tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, ensure the BTS800 is bolted or clamped securely to a flat workbench to prevent creeping during operation. When installing the sanding belts and discs, ensure they are properly centered to prevent premature wear on the edges. Regularly inspect the machine for dust buildup, particularly around the motor housing, and use compressed air or a vacuum to keep ventilation ports clear. To prolong the life of your abrasives, use a rubber sanding belt cleaner to remove trapped wood resin and dust. Always disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance or changing the sanding media.
