Ingersoll Rand Offers Two New Belt Sanders for Smooth Finishes

Ingersoll Rand has released two new surface preparation tools: the Ingersoll Rand 360-313 and 360-418 Pneumatic Belt Sanders. The sanders help technicians remove stubborn material and create a smooth finish. Using 0.6 hp motors, the sanders are said to power through long days of sanding, deburring and removing spot welds, seam sealer, rust or deposits.

According to Ingersoll Rand, the sanders generate maximum removal rates so shop teams can increase productivity while producing high-quality finishes. The sanders have an adjustable four-position power regulator that technicians set to match the toughness of the material, from heavy weld removal to fine finishing.

The sanders feature a tool-free articulating arm, as well as a the cam lock to adjust the angle of the sanders’ articulating arm within a 270-degree range to reach tight areas such as rivets or welds. No tools are required to adjust the angle.

The 360-313 model has a 3/8" × 13" arm, and the 360-418 model measures 1/2" × 18". Both have an arbor speed of 20,000 rpm and a belt or surface speed of 4,700 surface-feet per minute. A side button on the arm of the sander quickly tightens the arm for abrasive changes.

The multipurpose sanders are designed to meet the needs of applications in auto body work, vehicle service and repair, as well as maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) in light-industrial sectors. Either sander works effectively on metal, plastic, fiberglass, wood and other materials.

Small and lightweight, the sanders are said to provide superior comfort and ergonomics. Their narrow rubber grips are easy to hold, and they are built with a chemical-resistant composite that holds up to the harsh environment of the shop. Belts to smooth, finish and remove material are available in a kit that includes a 60-, 80- and 100-grit belt.
