the dustless sander produced by this company. The machine is a belt type and incorporates a vacuum fan which removes a claimed 90 per cent of all fine dust produced and collects it in a bag similar to that employed on a vacuum cleaner. Equipped for use at high speed for wood sanding and low speed for removing paint and varnish, the machine employs a 24 in. by 4 in. endless belt and weighs 15.5 lb. The cost is 158 10s.
A second belt sander produced is the H3I and this model can be turned upside down and used as a bench model. It incorporates simple belt changing and has carbide inserts to protect the motor housing from wear. The H31 has a belt size of 3 in. by 24 in. and weighs 15 lb. and a second model of the same machine, the H494, carries a 4 in-wide belt of the same length and weighs 141 lb. Retail prices of the machines are £46 and £51 respectively.
A finishing sander of the orbital type, which is a light and reasonably cheap machine carrying a sanding area of 3.625 in. by 7.0625 in., is also produced by this company. It has a speed of 4,500 orbits per min. and weighs only 6.5 lb. It is priced at £26 10s.
A versatile, disc-type. heavy-duty sander/ grinder which is claimed to be perfectly balanced and giving maximum control and minimum fatigue to the operator, is equipped with ball bearings and lapped spiral-bevel gear drive.
