Yes, end guard does come off. The distance from the belt stop bracket to rear of sander guard is 15 inches. With the belt stop bracket off, the distance is 20 inches.

My apologies but I really cannot answer your question. I am just using it with the buffer pads made for it so altering it to use velcro sanding pads would be uncertain. Sorry I wasn't more help.

Both rollers for the belt sander have a through axle. Belt tracking is controlled by one of the rollers. I have had this sander for a year and have not had any issues other than when I first got it the guard around the disk sander would rub the disk, a little bending here and there and it was fixed and has not been a problem since.

I thought I just answered this question. This would be the way to go about your sanding job. Good luck...

For finishing, light de-burring and profile finishing it should be fine. These split-phase motors are designed for speed .. torque no so much. This is the smallest belt abrasive machine I have here so I suggest for any heavier "grinding" you consider a 1" by 42" or 6" by 48" machine. Mine is up in the woodshop .. a sit-down machine perfect for airfoils out of aircraft birch. I have not used the disc function.

I'm not familiar with your sander. Mine is a Model 333 Random Orbit Sander with a 5" pad. This fit perfectly on that model when I had to replace the sanding pad because the original one deteriorated and fell apart. Sorry I can't help you.

They look like the same machine. Make sure your drive belt is tight before you use this. I chewed up a belt, bought a replacement, then a year later chewed up another one. I'm hard on my sander, I use it almost every day.

It would work, but holding a belt sander in a vertical position for an extended period of time could be tiring and that's when you need to be particularly careful to avoid gouging.

take the center guard off between tines.. maybe chain has came off sprocket if a belt model broken or worn belt

The sanding head unscrews from the sander body. At the back of the sander body there is a green button. Depress the button, this will keep the sanding head from rotating. Turn the sanding head off. Do the same to re-assemble.

Nothing anyone suggested worked for me. Best I have found so far is a grinder with a wire brush on it and buff it off or I used my belt sander and got some off but wire brush seemed to work best. Went thru to many sanding belts with the belt sander.

I would give this little sander a good review except for the fact that it almost impossible to change the sanding belts ! You destroy your fingers !!

the belt itself is about 1.5 inches or so. I don't think there is a max length that you could sand as there is nothing to the left or the right of the belt there should be no limit...

This is the one I got. I agree with the posters who comment on the so called dust collection. It doesn't quite work and that's why I cut the whole thing off on the band saw. I bought this primarily to sand drawer box's. The whole dust "tube" sticks out too far for my liking and made getting into corners too time consuming. I got tired of turning the sander around so off went the "tube". The paper hold down clip is pretty strong and prevents the paper from dancing around the soft sanding pad. All in all, for the price...I think its a good sander.

I received a belt with this sander. I also have had good results with the sander and would buy it again.

21 inches is not standard there are several sizes of belt sanders. when buying a sander look for the advertised belt size

You can either buy the Porter Cable sanding disks for this which I personally have never used, or, what I do use are after market 9" hook and loop pads as are 9" hook and loop sanding discs in many grits which are significantly lower in cost than the Porter Cable original equipment sanding discs with integral pad.
