SB 8V2 Belt Sander Review
Hitachi's 3-in. by 21-in. belt sander features excellent belt tracking and very good sanding capability
Hitachi’s 3-in. by 21-in. belt sander features a transverse motor and very good sanding capability. The belt on the model tested spun perfectly right out of the box, and belt tracking is excellent. When up and running, the sander proved easy to control. No accessories are available for this model.
Although the owner’s manual mentions sanding metal as an application, doing this can result in a build up of thermite, which is extremely volatile. If you sand metals, either use a crepe-rubber belt-cleaning stick, or change to a fresh belt.
